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 Spitfire Lock Chronograph

Owners widely report AVI-8 watches offer a compelling design and are decently well made for the price. The AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph features a 42mm stainless steel case with curved lugs, a bi-compax meca-quartz movement, and a mineral crystal, with design elements inspired by Supermarine Spitfires. One owner notes that AVI-8 watches are "something different" and "decently well made," though not of "insane quality." On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph for its unique design and value proposition.

Pinion Pure Bronze

The Pinion Pure Bronze is lauded for its refreshing design, featuring a beautiful layered dial with applied numerals and luminous indexes. Reviewers praise its satisfying manual-winding action from the Unitas 6498 movement, which offers a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer suggested a satin finish for the crown to match the case back and buckle. Overall, reviewers rate the Pinion Pure Bronze highly for its unique bronze case that patinates over time and its clear, subtly finished dial.
