What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic for its robust build quality, intricate three-timezone function, and crisp dial texture. The watch is noted for its wearable 41mm case size and 48.5mm lug-to-lug, with an internally positioned GMT complication that maintains a clean dial appearance. Some owners report the stock leather strap feels cheap and limits strap changing options. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic highly for its solid finishing and value, particularly highlighting the dial's depth and texture.

Pagani Design PD-1719

Owners widely report issues with the Pagani Design PD-1719's hand alignment and lume quality, with one noting bezel play. The applied indices are appreciated, and the NH38 movement is mentioned positively by one owner. The hands are described by some as resembling chess pieces or parsnips. Overall, owners express disappointment, citing QC issues and a perceived overpricing compared to alternatives.

From video reviewers

The 300m water resistance is a notable strength. The lume is a drawback.
