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 Cadet

The AVI-8 Flyboy Cadet features a 41mm brushed steel case and a matte dial, with subtle nods to 1942 game elements like pixel-style fonts and a plane character. It is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and retails for $365 USD. One owner notes the included leather NATO strap is too thin and flimsy. Overall, the AVI-8 Flyboy Cadet is seen as a unique offering with thematic design elements at its price point.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
