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 Hunter Retrograde Chronograph

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph's airplane-inspired dial design and the comfortable, soft leather strap with a no-break-in clasp. However, one owner notes that the case, crown, and glass crystal fitment left much to be desired, feeling cheap, and the mineral glass is prone to scratching. The watch is considered overpriced for its features, though appealing when found on sale. On balance, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph appealing for its unique dial and comfortable strap, despite concerns about case finishing and the mineral crystal.

Mr Jones Watches Beam me up!

Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! is widely praised for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal, with owners highlighting the sharp, color-by-color printed dial and layered dial that creates an interesting technical build. The UFO beam indicating minutes and a piglet indicating hours are noted as appealing to sci-fi fans, and the watch is described as a satisfying daily wear and a great conversation starter. Some owners wish the brand would update its lugs, and one user finds the pig hour marker off-putting. The watch uses a quartz movement, and legibility of the hour pig can be difficult, with the minute reading being more of a range than precise. Overall, owners rate Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! highly for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal.
