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 Clowes Automatic

Owners report the chronograph buttons on the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic can stick, though it functions well as a daily wearer with a clean dial and good quality stitched leather band. The 44mm case features well-curved lugs, and a hacking seconds subdial is present, but the date window is small and difficult to read. The watch uses an undecorated Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which some owners found disappointing compared to expectations of a Miyota. Overall, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic a good value keeper for its pilot design and $141 price point.

AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.
