What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Brew 8-Bit V2

The Brew 8-Bit V2 is praised for its casually elegant, versatile rectangular design that subtly balances 8-bit gaming and coffee themes, with solid build quality and finishing. Owners note the left subdial tracks 60 minutes and the right indicates day/night, with the chronograph's second hand only moving when activated. Criticisms include the lack of a seconds subdial, no lume, minor movement quirks like the chronograph minute hand jumping upon reset, and a slightly off-center yellow part on the hour hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Brew 8-Bit V2 highly for its unique design and solid build quality at its price point.

AVI-8 Hawker Harrier

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier for its handsome, utilitarian design and unique day display, with one owner noting the comfortable wearability of the 45mm case despite its size. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus Concept features a handless design with rotating wheels for time display, which is legible once accustomed to. Some owners report solid build quality and great lume, while others feel the watch can become cheap-feeling over time. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier II AV-4065-04 was considered worth its purchase price of $400 AUD. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier well for its distinctive design and value at its price point.
