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 Type 300 Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic for its compelling designs and striking color schemes, with one owner noting the brand consistently prompts purchases. The $450 price point is considered good value, and the watch features a comfortable brown leather strap. However, the included NATO strap feels cheap and is too long for a 7" wrist. One owner reported inaccurate seconds hand movement, and the 15mm thick bronze case is noted as slightly thicker than expected. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic highly for its unique designs and value at the price point, despite some minor strap and case thickness observations.

Ferro PISTA

The Ferro PISTA is widely praised for its exciting and thrilling driving experience, with owners highlighting its faultless handling and a powerful engine that makes other cars feel primitive. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate its beautiful and effective design, noting features like the air pass-through on the hood as particularly attractive. Some owners find the Ferro PISTA's performance and aerodynamics desirable, while others note its tighter suspension and hard-shifting experience as a special, raw characteristic. On balance, owners rate the Ferro PISTA highly for its thrilling performance and striking design.
