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.

Sternglas Naos Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Automatik is praised for its stylish Bauhaus design and solid build quality for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal and elegant case. However, some dial text is too small and slim for easy readability, and the Milanese strap and clasp are considered lower quality, with the quick-change system also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.
