Owners widely appreciate AVI-8's aviation-inspired designs and comfortable straps, viewing them as good value automatic pilot watches, especially when on sale. Some owners note minor issues such as misaligned chrono hands and mineral crystals, and a few question long-term quality compared to other brands. One owner reported a non-functional lume issue and a difficult return process. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Atlas GMT Automatic highly for its unique designs and value at the price point.
Owners widely praise the Elliot Brown FAA HOLTON AUTO GMT for its quality, looks, and feel on the wrist, with one owner finding it an excellent travel watch. The Seiko NH34 movement is noted for surprisingly accurate timekeeping, averaging around 5 seconds per day. One owner finds the dial lume lackluster, possibly due to the vintage aesthetic influencing the choice of Super-LumiNova. The watch is considered expensive at $1000 by one owner, given the NH34 movement's estimated cost. Overall, owners rate the Elliot Brown FAA HOLTON AUTO GMT highly for its travel watch utility and accurate, durable movement.
