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.

Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward for its comfortable, thin, and light wearability, with one owner noting a perfect case width and another highlighting its 10.7mm thickness. The bi-directional GMT bezel is described as decent for its price, and the movement is considered fine and accurate, making it a low-key travel watch. The bracelet is also noted as well-made and finished for the price. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward highly for its comfortable wearability and value as a mechanical GMT.
