What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Weathered

The satin-finished steel case is well-executed and aesthetically pleasing. The watch's lumières de nuit are not particularly bright, which might be a drawback for some users. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one reviewer finding it pleasing in-person and another describing it as decidedly derivative.

AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic

Owners report the chronograph buttons on the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic can stick, though it functions well as a daily wearer with a clean dial and good quality stitched leather band. The 44mm case features well-curved lugs, and a hacking seconds subdial is present, but the date window is small and difficult to read. The watch uses an undecorated Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which some owners found disappointing compared to expectations of a Miyota. Overall, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic a good value keeper for its pilot design and $141 price point.
