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 Classic Chronograph

Owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph visually appealing with its thin bezel, pusher style, and dial colors, noting it stands out from common black dial watches. Some owners report the chronograph buttons can stick a little, and the 44mm case wears large with a small, hard-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which is undecorated, and noted AVI-8 is often seen as a "fashion" brand and overpriced at MSRP for a quartz watch, though discounted prices made it a good deal. On balance, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph a keeper for its visual appeal and solid case construction when purchased at a discounted price.

On balance, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical highly for its unique design and good value.
