AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT AutomaticvsSpinnaker Dumas GMT

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.

The Spinnaker Dumas GMT is praised for its good finishing and satisfying lume, including on the crown. Owners note its 44mm case and 15mm thickness, with one finding it wears well on a 17cm wrist, while a reviewer suggests its substantial size and 209g weight make it unsuitable for smaller wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Spinnaker Dumas GMT offers good value, particularly with the inclusion of an extra rubber strap.
