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 RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top for its excellent matte case finishing, precise seconds hand alignment, and dial reminiscent of vintage military watches. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as perfection with no play, are consistently highlighted as significant improvements over earlier versions. One owner noted the quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its solid construction, military significance, and terrific value.
