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.

Lum-Tec Eclipse

Owners widely praise the Lum-Tec Eclipse for its comfortable, slim profile and thin wearability, with specific commendations for its beautiful dial, good readability, and bracelet design. The knurling on the crown is also noted as a positive feature. Some owners express concern over the 42mm case size and find the dial's font and indices unappealing, though others appreciate the deep-dish slant. One owner notes a slight gap where the lugs meet the bracelet. The Lum-Tec Eclipse e3 variant features a Miyota 9039 movement, a solid bracelet, a sunburst dial, and exceptionally bright lume. Overall, owners rate the Lum-Tec Eclipse highly for its slim design and attractive dial at its price point.
