Mr Jones Watches The AccuratevsKUOE OLD SMITH 90-007

Mr Jones Watches The Accurate is noted for its unique dial featuring the "Remember you will die" message, which some find legible but prone to showing dust specs. The 45mm case size is considered suitable for modern wearers, though the watch's message may be polarizing. On balance, reviewers acknowledge the watch's distinctive artistic approach and the Miyota 9015 movement, but its legibility and polarizing message are points of consideration.

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH for its distinctive vintage aesthetic, with specific admiration for the blue hands that pop in sunlight and the satisfying chunky numerals. The watch is considered a discreet dress or office option, with one owner cherishing it despite an initial defective crown. The 38mm size is noted as a perfect fit by one owner, while another finds the 35mm size and 12mm thickness can be problematic on smaller wrists. The $635 price is considered high for the NH38 movement and standard specifications, though some believe the premium is justified by Kuoe's unique design language and microbrand status. Accuracy is reported at -5 seconds per day, but the Super-LumiNova is weak. Overall, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH highly for its unique design and cherished vintage aesthetic at the price.
