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 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.
Owners praise the Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC as a beautiful, classy dress watch with deep brand heritage, suitable for special occasions. One owner noted the stock strap appears narrow due to the lug design, making spring bars visible. The Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC reissue is considered a fantastic deal at $700, especially after a recent official Longines service and dial replacement, presenting it as a like-new watch. However, its lack of patina may disappoint collectors who value "character" from wear and scratches. Overall, owners rate the Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition.
