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 Fortitude Pro

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its scratch-resistant coating, thin and compact 38.5mm case, and versatile dial options. The layered finishing with polished chamfers and comfortable bracelet are frequently highlighted as strong points, contributing to its wearability. One owner notes good timekeeping, while a reviewer states the Miyota 9015 movement is adjusted to +/-10 seconds per day. A potential drawback mentioned is the date numeral appearing in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding, and one owner considers the bracelet clasp dated. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its durable construction and thoughtful design at its price point.

AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph

Owners widely report AVI-8 watches offer a compelling design and are decently well made for the price. The AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph features a 42mm stainless steel case with curved lugs, a bi-compax meca-quartz movement, and a mineral crystal, with design elements inspired by Supermarine Spitfires. One owner notes that AVI-8 watches are "something different" and "decently well made," though not of "insane quality." On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph for its unique design and value proposition.
