AVI-8 Spitfire Lock ChronographvsMEGIR MESH CHRONO

Owners widely appreciate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph's compelling design, drawing inspiration from Supermarine Spitfires with details like a prominent crown and rivets, and find the build quality excellent for the price. The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case with curved lugs for wearability, a bi-compax layout with subdials for elapsed time and a 24-hour scale, and black lume that glows green. Some owners note that AVI-8 watches offer something different and are decently well-made, though not of insane quality, and one reviewer found the included leather strap and bracelet to be the weakest aspects. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph highly for its striking design and good value at its price point.

Owners widely praise the MEGIR MESH CHRONO for its excellent style and surprising quality for the price, with some considering it a favorite among Chinese brands. The chronograph functions are noted, with the 6 o'clock sub-dial acting as the chronograph hand and tracking seconds and minutes, though one owner found the chronograph seconds hand did not sweep smoothly. The included nylon strap was found unattractive by one owner, who also noted the strap keeper was small. On balance, owners rate the MEGIR MESH CHRONO highly for its value and stylish design, serving as a good alternative to higher-end chronographs.
