Some owners question the quality relative to price, while others acknowledge that AVI-8 watches, often featuring Seiko NH34 movements, are generally considered decent for their $100-$200 price point. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic well for its standout aviator design and value at the price.
