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 Time Master 70

The Ferro Time Master 70 is praised for its distinctive 1970s-inspired polygon case and visually striking silver dial with orange accents and unique lume colors. Owners appreciate the retro design with unique touches, clean dial, and lumed markers, along with the smooth winding of the Miyota 9039 movement. Its 39mm diameter, 10.4mm thickness, and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions contribute to comfortable wearability, further enhanced by a well-executed faux-single link bracelet featuring a practical on-the-fly micro-adjustment clasp. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Ferro Time Master 70 highly for its retro design and comfortable wearability.
