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 Hurricane Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic for its aviation-themed design, thin bezel, and colorful subdials, with one owner finding it a good value at $134 CAD. However, some owners note that the chronograph pushers can stick, and the 44mm size wears large with a difficult-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement instead of an expected Japanese automatic, though still considers it a keeper for $141. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic well for its value and aviation-inspired aesthetics, despite some noted functional and sizing caveats.

Bremont Broadsword

Owners widely praise the Bremont Broadsword for its versatile GADA (go anywhere, do anything) capability, noting it pairs well with various straps and can be dressed up or down. One owner highlights the impressive build quality and finishing, while another specifically commends the sandwich dial. A few marks from strap changes were noted by one owner. Overall, owners rate the Bremont Broadsword highly for its versatility and build quality.

From video reviewers

The bead-blasted 40mm steel case finishing is a consistent strength. No shared weaknesses were identified. Reviewers did not explicitly disagree on any points.
