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.

Fears Brunswick (Anthracite)

The Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) is praised for its anthracite dial with raised Arabic numerals and unique eye-dropper hands, which shift from anthracite to silver in different light. Its 38mm cushion case is noted for its contoured design that fits well on the wrist. One owner found the case back to be a letdown. The manually wound ETA 7001 movement offers a 38-40 hour power reserve without hacking seconds. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) for its distinctive dial and comfortable wearability.
