AVI-8 Flyboy CadetvsIWC Schaffhausen Iw395601 Pilots Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland

The AVI-8 Flyboy Cadet features a 41mm brushed steel case and a matte dial, with subtle nods to 1942 game elements like pixel-style fonts and a plane character. It is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and retails for $365 USD. One owner notes the included leather NATO strap is too thin and flimsy. Overall, the AVI-8 Flyboy Cadet is seen as a unique offering with thematic design elements at its price point.

The IWC Schaffhausen Iw395601 Pilots Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland is praised for its unique green ceramic case and intuitive, bezel-operated Timezoner complication that adjusts the hour hand, 24-hour disc, and date. Owners appreciate its surprising lightness for a 46mm watch due to the ceramic construction and find the movement satisfactory. However, some owners find the Timezoner functionality peculiar, as the 24-hour indicator mirrors the main time, and a reviewer notes the green rubber strap lacks a quick-change system. One owner reports the ceramic case scratched easily, with marks appearing on the first day of wear, while another wishes the dial numbers had lume and preferred a butterfly clasp. The IWC Schaffhausen Iw395601 Pilots Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland is considered a unique travel watch, though its high price point is a noted drawback.
