What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks Chrono

Owners widely praise the Astor + Banks Chrono for its sporty design, wrist-friendly 38.5mm size, and enthusiast-friendly price starting at $525. One reviewer notes the date numeral is consistently half in shadow due to deep-set placement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Chrono highly for its design and value at the price point.

AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic for its aviation-themed design, thin bezel, and colorful subdials, with one owner finding it a good value at $134 CAD. However, some owners note that the chronograph pushers can stick, and the 44mm size wears large with a difficult-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement instead of an expected Japanese automatic, though still considers it a keeper for $141. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic well for its value and aviation-inspired aesthetics, despite some noted functional and sizing caveats.
