What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon is widely praised for its creative, fun, and original design, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its vibrant colors and ability to serve as a conversation starter. The watch is considered well-made for its price, featuring a unique aesthetic where a figure's leg indicates the hour and a rubber duck shows the minutes. Some owners report the blue nylon strap can be small in diameter. One reviewer noted the Milanese bracelet was too shiny and opted to brush it and the lugs for a more subdued look. The mechanical variant uses an STP1-11 automatic movement with a 44-hour power reserve and acceptable accuracy, while the quartz variant features a unique dial design with hour markers integrated into the watery visual. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon highly for its imaginative design and good value.

Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono

The Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono is widely praised for its lightweight construction, with owners highlighting its carbon composite case and titanium case back contributing to exceptional comfort and wearability, even on smaller wrists. Reviewers and owners alike commend its excellent legibility, robust build quality, and impressive bezel action, with a smooth winding feel noted by one owner. The COSC-certified MT5813 movement provides a 70-hour power reserve. However, some find the tachymeter scale difficult to read, and the 45-minute counter impractical for cycling. One owner reported poor timekeeping with a deviation of -3 to -3.5 seconds per day, while another saw accuracy within a couple of seconds per day, and a separate owner noted three services in under two years. The included straps are frequently criticized as less appealing or having short length, and some question the watch's overall utility for cyclists compared to dedicated head units.
