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 Typhoon Baldwin Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward for its comfortable, thin, and light wearability, with one owner noting a perfect case width and another highlighting its 10.7mm thickness. The bi-directional GMT bezel is described as decent for its price, and the movement is considered fine and accurate, making it a low-key travel watch. The bracelet is also noted as well-made and finished for the price. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward highly for its comfortable wearability and value as a mechanical GMT.
