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 Ultra

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is praised for its 1000 meters of water resistance, METAS-certified Calibre MT5612-U movement, and fully lumed dial and bezel. Reviewers highlight its titanium case and self-adjusting clasp as key features. The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is slightly larger at 43mm than some other models in the line but wears comfortably. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Pelagos Ultra highly for its technical specifications and comfortable wearability as a flagship dive watch.

From video reviewers

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra's all-titanium construction provides a lightweight and durable case. One weakness is the lack of lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the helium release valve is a notable feature or a drawback for a more streamlined design.
