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.

Spinnaker Hass Automatic

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.
