Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic for its unique aviator style, robust build, and crisp dial texture, with one owner noting a complex three-timezone function. The watch is considered fun and wearable with solid dimensions, though some find the dial busy and difficult to read, and the stock strap is noted as cheap with limited lug hole options. 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.
Owners praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic for its unique World War II theme, cool styling, and good value, with one owner noting the thin bezel, pusher style, dial colors, and WW2 references as highlights.

Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic highly for its distinctive WW2 aesthetic and strong value proposition at its price point.
