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 Hawker Harrier

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier for its handsome, utilitarian design and unique day display, with one owner noting the comfortable wearability of the 45mm case despite its size. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus Concept features a handless design with rotating wheels for time display, which is legible once accustomed to. Some owners report solid build quality and great lume, while others feel the watch can become cheap-feeling over time. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier II AV-4065-04 was considered worth its purchase price of $400 AUD. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier well for its distinctive design and value at its price point.

Pagani Design PD-1708

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1708's solid build and surprisingly high-quality finishing for its price point, with one owner noting a comfortable 38mm case and a well-made tapered mesh bracelet featuring a signed safety clasp. However, the lume is described as a bit weak, though evenly applied. Accuracy with the VK64 movement averaged around +6.5 seconds per month over 14 months. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1708 highly for its value and bracelet quality at its price.

From video reviewers

The Pagani Design PD-1708 features a reliable and accurate Japanese VK64 movement. A notable weakness is the lume brightness, which could be improved, particularly in low-light conditions. Reviewers disagree on the bezel diameter, with some users potentially finding it small for the 46mm case length, while others may not have an issue with it.
