AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Classic ChronographvsSternglas Naos XL

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.

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL for its versatile Bauhaus design, domed sapphire crystal, and value, with some finding its larger size comfortable and refined for its price. However, opinions are split on its aesthetic appeal, with one owner finding the hands and face underwhelming, while others appreciate the minimalistic dial. The date font is noted as too small to be useful by one owner, and the stock strap is generally considered basic or prone to wear. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a Miyota movement running fast and another noting +13 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL highly for its Bauhaus aesthetics and affordability, despite some reservations about the movement and strap.
