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.

Vaer Calendar Field

Owners widely praise the Vaer Calendar Field for its excellent value, citing its clean WWII-inspired dial, thin 8.5mm to 9.5mm case, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The dial and hand design are consistently highlighted as phenomenal, with case finishing described as next-level for the price, featuring nice brushing. Some owners note the second hand does not perfectly align with markers, and the stock silicone strap attracts lint. One owner found the lume only serviceable and wished the date window was brighter. On balance, owners rate the Vaer Calendar Field highly for its exceptional dial design and case finishing at its price point.
