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.

Zelos Thresher 44

Owners widely praise the Zelos Thresher 44, with one owner noting its finish has proven remarkably scratch-resistant. However, one owner found the finishing on their hammered grey variant not as well done as expected. The Zelos Thresher 44 with an agate dial sold out in 90 seconds, with one owner receiving theirs and noting the bracelet was fully wrapped. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Thresher 44 highly for its desirability and scratch-resistant finish.
