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.

Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3) for its fun, entrepreneurial, and affordable nature, with a design described as "Bauhaus meets Bugs Bunny." However, some find its colors a love-it-or-hate-it feature and others perceive the overall quality and finishing as a tier below comparable watches. Accuracy figures are not specified, but one owner found the watch too thick for their taste. The chronograph function has been noted as potentially sticky or jumpy. On balance, owners are divided on the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3), with opinions split between its unique design and perceived value for money.
