Mr Jones Watches ContinuumvsPagani Design PD-1638

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Continuum for its unique 1960s retro space-age aesthetic and the distinctive artwork by Jacqueline Colley, featuring a jump hour complication with a rocket for the hour and a comet for the minutes. The watch is also noted for feeling solid and well-made in person, with a cool meteor minute hand that makes telling time an engaging experience, and is considered unisex. Owners are split on the font size on the hour dial, with some finding it difficult to read, especially in low light, partly due to a shadow cast by the rocket artwork. Overall, owners rate the Mr Jones Watches Continuum highly for its distinctive retro design and engaging jump hour complication.

Pagani Design PD-1638 owners widely praise its attractive skeletonized dial and surprising build quality for its price, often noting it looks good on a NATO strap. Some owners report the Hardlex crystal may be prone to scratches. The movement offers a 30-hour power reserve and accuracy up to 45 seconds per day, which is considered acceptable for a frequently reset watch. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1638 highly for its visual appeal and value as a fun, inexpensive diversion watch.
