AV86 1834 ChronographvsKnot Watches CC-39

The AV86 1834 Chronograph is praised for its elegant, minimalist black and white dial and skinny, needlepoint hands, making it suitable for any occasion. However, Avi-8 watches are generally considered fashion watches, with some owners suggesting better quality alternatives exist for the price, although the look is acknowledged as a matter of personal preference. On balance, owners appreciate the AV86 1834 Chronograph's aesthetic, with its suitability for various occasions being a key draw.

The Knot Watches CC-39 is praised for its perfect 39mm fit and customizable dial and strap, with one owner finding it awesome at $35 USD for its Bauhaus-style chronograph aesthetic. Owners appreciate the cream dial and orange accents, though some find the dial busy and difficult to read initially. The watch is considered thin, measuring 13.2mm partly due to its domed crystal. One owner notes the inconvenience of a sample battery requiring a store visit for replacement and finds the 18mm strap width slightly slim for the 39mm case. On balance, owners rate the Knot Watches CC-39 highly for its unique appearance and value at the price point.
