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 Hawker Harrier

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier for its handsome, utilitarian design and unique day display, with one owner noting the comfortable wearability of the 45mm case despite its size. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus Concept features a handless design with rotating wheels for time display, which is legible once accustomed to. Some owners report solid build quality and great lume, while others feel the watch can become cheap-feeling over time. The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier II AV-4065-04 was considered worth its purchase price of $400 AUD. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier well for its distinctive design and value at its price point.

Vaer G5 Meridian GMT

The Vaer G5 Meridian GMT is a compelling and affordable true GMT watch, featuring the Miyota 9075 movement. Reviewers note its 39mm stainless steel case, which is described as chunky but visually minimized by twisted lugs, and a highly domed sapphire crystal that contributes to reflections. The glossy ceramic bezel also adds to its shiny appearance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer G5 Meridian GMT highly for its true GMT functionality and value.
