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.

Zelos Thresher 44

Owners widely praise the Zelos Thresher 44, with one owner noting its finish has proven remarkably scratch-resistant. However, one owner found the finishing on their hammered grey variant not as well done as expected. The Zelos Thresher 44 with an agate dial sold out in 90 seconds, with one owner receiving theirs and noting the bracelet was fully wrapped. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Thresher 44 highly for its desirability and scratch-resistant finish.
