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.

NIMA Watches NIMA GMT (NH34)

Owners widely praise the NIMA Watches NIMA GMT (NH34) for its value, with some finding the fit and finish excellent and the adjustable clasp superior to others. The Seiko NH34 movement is noted for allowing the GMT hand to set without interrupting the seconds hand and for fitting into NH-compatible cases. One owner highlights the strong and long-lasting lume on the hands. However, some owners find the bezel too busy or chunky, and there is a desire for larger sizing options. The use of acrylic crystals on watches priced around $600 is criticized as not premium. Accuracy figures vary, with some owners questioning theirs while others find it great for the money. Overall, owners rate the NIMA Watches NIMA GMT (NH34) highly for its value and functional GMT hand, despite some aesthetic criticisms.
