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 Hurricane Automatic

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.

Phoibos Argo

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Argo for its appealing design and color combinations, with one owner highlighting the bronze patina development as a unique characteristic. The Miyota 9015 movement is noted for its precision, and the included strap is considered a comfortable fit, particularly for narrower wrists. On balance, owners view the Phoibos Argo as a wearable piece of art and a great watch for personal enjoyment.
