AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Avon Chronograph

The AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Avon Chronograph features a 45mm case that wears comfortably, and owners praise its soft leather strap and clasp. Some find the design unique with rotating discs for time, though legibility can be a challenge. One owner noted lacking fitment on the case, crown, and crystal, feeling cheap, and cautioned that the mineral glass crystal will scratch easily. The quartz movement is considered acceptable by some. Overall, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Avon Chronograph to be a comfortable and unique pilot-style watch, with its strap and clasp being particular highlights.

Tissot Supersport Chrono

Owners widely praise the Tissot Supersport Chrono for its visually appealing dial, handset, and case shape, with many noting its excellent lume and overall build quality for the price. Some owners find the 45.5mm size wears well, even on smaller wrists, and appreciate the value Tissot offers. However, several owners express concern about the watch's large diameter and weight, suggesting it may be too big for wrists under 7 inches. A few owners also report issues with subdial hand misalignment or the chronograph second hand moving when stationary, though Tissot considers some misalignment within tolerance. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Supersport Chrono highly for its attractive design and value, with the primary caveat being its substantial size.
