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.

Aevig Thule GMT

Owners widely praise the Aevig Thule GMT for its 70s-inspired design, lightweight titanium case with a hardness coating, and the accurate NH34 movement running at 1-2 seconds fast per day. The watch also features fantastic AR coating, a quick-release bracelet, and excellent customer service. Some wish for sharper case angles and polished details to enhance its dressier appeal, and macro photos suggest potential irregularities on the hour markers. Overall, owners rate the Aevig Thule GMT highly for its vintage charm and practical features at an affordable price.
