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.

Sternglas Naos XL

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL for its versatile Bauhaus design, domed sapphire crystal, and value, with some finding its larger size comfortable and refined for its price. However, opinions are split on its aesthetic appeal, with one owner finding the hands and face underwhelming, while others appreciate the minimalistic dial. The date font is noted as too small to be useful by one owner, and the stock strap is generally considered basic or prone to wear. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a Miyota movement running fast and another noting +13 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL highly for its Bauhaus aesthetics and affordability, despite some reservations about the movement and strap.
