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 Smith Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.

Fortis Marinemaster M-40

Owners praise the Fortis Amber Orange for its gorgeous appearance and strong wrist presence, noting its crazy lume and 70-hour power reserve. The Doxa SUB 300T, described as having a superb, eccentric design with a highly legible dial and functional no-decompression bezel, uses an ETA 2824-2 movement. However, the SUB 300T's 42.5mm case wears large and its 14mm thickness is not ideal for dress shirts, though it boasts 1,200m water resistance. On balance, owners appreciate the Fortis Amber Orange for its striking aesthetics and impressive lume.
