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.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue for its versatile design, pleasant manual winding action, and the value offered by its Sellita SW200-2 automatic movement, especially considering its USA assembly. The textured dial, often described as a "sandpaper dial" that shines in the sun, along with applied numerals and dark blue hands, are frequently highlighted as attractive features. Its 38mm or 39mm diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions are noted for good wearability on smaller wrists, though one owner found it necessary to remove four links for a proper fit. The lume is described as legible but dim. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue highly for its distinctive dial and value at the price point.
