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 Classic Chronograph

Owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph visually appealing with its thin bezel, pusher style, and dial colors, noting it stands out from common black dial watches. Some owners report the chronograph buttons can stick a little, and the 44mm case wears large with a small, hard-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which is undecorated, and noted AVI-8 is often seen as a "fashion" brand and overpriced at MSRP for a quartz watch, though discounted prices made it a good deal. On balance, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph a keeper for its visual appeal and solid case construction when purchased at a discounted price.

CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners and reviewers widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its faithful homage to the original, noting the dial markings and bezel alignment. The polished steel case is a point of discussion, with some finding it incongruous for a military tool watch and others appreciating its utilitarian capabilities. The "faux patina" lume is described as too gold and glossy by one reviewer, while another finds the "QUARTZ" text and new logo "vulgar" compared to classic designs. On balance, owners and reviewers value the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historical accuracy and tool watch aesthetic, despite some reservations about modern design choices and price.
