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 Hunter Retrograde Chronograph

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph's airplane-inspired dial design and the comfortable, soft leather strap with a no-break-in clasp. However, one owner notes that the case, crown, and glass crystal fitment left much to be desired, feeling cheap, and the mineral glass is prone to scratching. The watch is considered overpriced for its features, though appealing when found on sale. On balance, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph appealing for its unique dial and comfortable strap, despite concerns about case finishing and the mineral crystal.

Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450. On balance, reviewers rate the Horage Lensman 2 highly for its unique functionality as a camera tool combined with its luxury micro-rotor GMT features.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.
