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.

Tissot T-Complication Squelette

Owners widely praise the Tissot T-Complication Squelette for its mesmerizing mechanical movement and industrial look, with many finding it offers great value. The pallet fork ticking is frequently noted as loud, a characteristic some owners appreciate while others find it noticeable in quiet environments. Some users flag the non-hacking seconds hand as a drawback for precise time setting, and opinions on its size are mixed, with some finding it too large for thin wrists. Overall, owners rate the Tissot T-Complication Squelette highly for its quality craftsmanship and the captivating skeletonized movement at its price point.
