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.

Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique

Owners widely report the bracelet quality is a notable drawback for the price, and some find the dial basic and lacking legibility due to the absence of AR coating. However, the Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique is praised for its accurate movement featuring an 80-hour power reserve, and its lug-to-lug dimension is noted as near-perfect for smaller wrists. The inclusion of a 24-hour scale is appreciated. Overall, owners find the Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Automatique to be just okay for its asking price new, with the movement's performance being a key positive aspect.
