Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time

The AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time is praised by owners for its thin bezel, dial colors, and the white stitching on its leather strap, with one owner finding it a good value at $134 CAD. Some owners note the chronograph buttons can stick, and one reviewer found the date window small and difficult to read. The watch features a quartz movement, 50m water resistance, and a 43mm case. Overall, owners appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time for its aesthetic details and value proposition, despite minor functional quirks.

AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph

Owners widely appreciate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph's compelling design, drawing inspiration from Supermarine Spitfires with details like a prominent crown and rivets, and find the build quality excellent for the price. The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case with curved lugs for wearability, a bi-compax layout with subdials for elapsed time and a 24-hour scale, and black lume that glows green. Some owners note that AVI-8 watches offer something different and are decently well-made, though not of insane quality, and one reviewer found the included leather strap and bracelet to be the weakest aspects. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph highly for its striking design and good value at its price point.
