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 Carey Dual Time

Owners widely appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time for its value, with one owner finding it a good deal at $134 CAD, citing its thin bezel, pusher style, dial colors, and white stitching on the leather strap. The watch features curved lugs and a solid case, though some owners note it wears large at 44mm. One owner flags that the chronograph buttons can stick, and another points out a small, hard-to-read date window. The movement is identified as a Chinese DG-3809-3D automatic that hacks, or a Seiko quartz (Epson) movement, with one reviewer expressing disappointment in the undecorated automatic movement. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time well for its aesthetic appeal and value, with the dial design and strap details being frequently praised.

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.
