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 Typhoon Baldwin Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic

Owners find the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic a good size for smaller wrists, though one owner notes the lume is too diffuse for easy nighttime reading. The pilot-style crown is an unusual feature for a dive watch. Overall, owners value the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic for its wearability on smaller wrists.

From video reviewers

The coral red dial is a unique aesthetic. The watch is a strong contender for best-in-class under $300.
