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 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.

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow for its gorgeous, avant-garde moonphase display and impressive lume, with many finding it comfortable and well-wearing. The constantly rotating moon phase complication is a highlight, and its accuracy is noted as exceptional. However, some find the lume on the date ring disappointing, fading quickly, and one owner finds the second, less visible moon distracting. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow highly for its visually engaging moonphase and value at the price point.
