What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Atelier Wen Perception v2

Reviewers highlight the hand-operated guilloché dials and handsome 40mm case design influenced by Chinese architecture. Some owners note the movement's winding action and rotor noise are not high-end, and that it does not hack. The watch is priced at $3,288 USD. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Atelier Wen Perception v2 highly for its unique tantalum construction and hand-finished guilloché dial at the 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.
