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.

Pagani Design PD-1791

Owners widely find the Pagani Design PD-1791's skeleton dial unattractive, with one owner describing it as "ugly" and another disliking the "circle inside square" aesthetic. Some suggest it would be better suited for modifications. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1791 poorly due to its polarizing and widely disliked dial design.
