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 Kent Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic for its unique style and good quality for its price point, with specific appreciation for its thin bezel, pusher style, dial colors, and WW2 references. Some owners note the 43.5mm size may be large for smaller wrists, and a few report that the chronograph buttons can stick. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic highly for its distinctive design and value at its price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
