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.

Sugess Tourbillon Master S454

Owners widely praise the Sugess Tourbillon Master S454 for its attractive dial finishing, sharp case edges, and the visual appeal of its genuine tourbillon, especially considering its price point. Specific strengths highlighted include a delicate 38mm size with 11.5mm thickness and a crisp winding feel. However, multiple owners note accuracy issues, with figures ranging from +6 to +11 seconds per day and one report of -12 seconds per day. Concerns are also raised about the movement's finishing upon close inspection, the lack of internal anti-reflective coating causing reflections, a small crown that makes winding cumbersome, and potential long-term durability and serviceability challenges. The 24-hour complication is not independently adjustable, and water resistance is limited to 50m. Overall, owners rate the Sugess Tourbillon Master S454 highly for its impressive tourbillon and finishing at the price, despite some noted accuracy and finishing caveats.

From video reviewers

The value proposition of a functional tourbillon movement under $600 is a significant strength. Reviewers noted issues with the bracelet and wearability.
