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 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic for its robust build quality, intricate three-timezone function, and crisp dial texture. The watch is noted for its wearable 41mm case size and 48.5mm lug-to-lug, with an internally positioned GMT complication that maintains a clean dial appearance. Some owners report the stock leather strap feels cheap and limits strap changing options. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic highly for its solid finishing and value, particularly highlighting the dial's depth and texture.

Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT

Owners widely report issues with the DG5833GMT movement in the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT, including the minute hand jumping significantly when setting the time and general unreliability leading to failures within months. While one owner noted timekeeping within +/- 5 seconds per day, others suggest opting for models with the NH34 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT's movement reliability is a significant concern for owners.
