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.

Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition

The Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition features a 45.5mm case and 100m water resistance. Owners note the bracelet tapers from 22mm to 20mm, which feels better on the wrist. Some in the community find the 44-45mm case size too large. Tissot watches are generally considered good value for the price. Overall, owners appreciate the bracelet taper for improved wearability, though some find the case size on the larger side for a quartz sports watch.
