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 Type 300 Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic for its compelling designs and striking color schemes, with one owner noting the brand consistently prompts purchases. The $450 price point is considered good value, and the watch features a comfortable brown leather strap. However, the included NATO strap feels cheap and is too long for a 7" wrist. One owner reported inaccurate seconds hand movement, and the 15mm thick bronze case is noted as slightly thicker than expected. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic highly for its unique designs and value at the price point, despite some minor strap and case thickness observations.

Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 for its creative dial design, good contrast, and British Racing Green color, with some finding it wears smaller than its 41mm size. One owner appreciates its lack of a date window and comfortable wear on a 6.5” wrist. However, some users note Marloe's 20mm lug width can make models appear top-heavy, and a significant price increase has been observed across the brand's offerings. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 highly for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
