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 K9

Owners widely report the Mr Jones Watches K9 is a fun, quirky, and unique artistic piece that serves as a conversation starter, with some noting reliable movements and solid customer support. However, some owners found the build quality lacking, reporting issues with misaligned hands and needing to return their watches multiple times, while others find them difficult to read and question the value at full price. On balance, owners view the Mr Jones Watches K9 as a well-made artistic statement, with its unique design being the primary draw despite potential readability and build quality concerns.

Boldr Safari

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.
