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.

Spinnaker Hass Automatic

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.
