AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane AutomaticvsCWC Cabot Falcon Quartz Chronograph Watch

Owners praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic for its aviation-themed design, thin bezel, and colorful subdials, with one owner finding it a good value at $134 CAD. However, some owners note that the chronograph pushers can stick, and the 44mm size wears large with a difficult-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement instead of an expected Japanese automatic, though still considers it a keeper for $141. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic well for its value and aviation-inspired aesthetics, despite some noted functional and sizing caveats.

Owners widely praise the CWC Cabot Falcon Quartz Chronograph Watch for its domed sapphire crystal and brushed/satin case finish, which contribute to a vintage aesthetic. The case design with wider lugs is noted for providing a beefier, improved appearance. Some owners question the value at over $800, while others defend the price, citing its Swiss-made origin, low production, and collectibility from a respected brand.
