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.

Longines DOLCEVITA

Owners widely praise the Longines DOLCEVITA for its exceptional value, with some finding its dial superior to significantly more expensive alternatives. Reviewers highlight its commendable, bold aesthetic statement, particularly in collaborative editions featuring unique design elements and opaline dials. However, a recurring criticism from owners is the crown, described as "comically bad" and "sucks" for winding and setting, with one owner also deeming the date window "useless." Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines DOLCEVITA highly for its striking design and value proposition, despite noted issues with the crown functionality.
