AVI-8 Avaliações 

I brought a lovely looking AVI8 Hunter Hunter watch in grey, as a daily wear watch It was a nice watch when I brought it until I happened to operate the stopwatch function, from that point the second hand on the stopwatch watch has never rest to zero, rendering the stopwatch watch function useless. It is now no good as a chronograph and can only be used as a standard watch. Impossible to get hold of the company and am now stuck with a faulty watch.
Will stick to premium Swiss brands in future, at least they are contactable when or rather on the odd occasion they do not operate correctly.

product is nice - having no stateside prepaid return is a bother. If you cannot afford pre paid how about a US address for returns .

I discovered AVI-8 watches earlier this year and have already added nine to my collection. The designs are beautiful, with outstanding attention to detail and a genuine connection to World War II aviation history. They offer exceptional value for money, and every order has been delivered quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates aviation-inspired timepieces.

I have bought 7 watches from AV-8. All of them have been good quality and I love that they cater to the aviation community. I own a Rolex and a Breitling, but I still wear my AV-8's on a regular basis. I love them and will continue buying from them as long as they keep making interesting subjects and keep their quality top-notch. My only complaint is they seem to run out of the best-looking models quickly and never remake them. Seems to me you would want to sell more of what people obviously want.

That's my fifth watch from AVI 8
Quality product.
Never had an issue with any of the five products
Quick delivery (except for one)
-> highly recommanded

love the time pieces, quality anf fast delivery.

Watch arrived in quite quickly
Strap is soft and easy to wear.
Unfortunately the back is more notable than the front

If I could give them a 0.....
Shipped an ordered watch to me with a tan colored band when the website and order confirmation clearly showed a gray band. They then refused any remedy except me returning the watch to Hong Kong for a refund when it was shipped to me from Utah. I did not return the watch believing they could not be trusted to refund my money.

The delivery company lost my watch. Luckily I paid by credit card and got my money back from them.

The customer service response from Avi-8 was dire.

The delivery company even emailed Avi-8 to confirm that they had lost my watch but Avi-8 was not interested.

I have three watches from this company, but will never ever buy from them again. I would best avoid them.

The watch I purchased was dead on arrival. No movement whatsoever.

What is worse, I am getting slow response times from customer support, (info@) and no resolution. I have recorded and sent TWO 10 second videos of a dead watch, which they insisted I do, and still nothing.

I did some research. The day-today operations are out of Hong Kong, and I am worried they are going to make me pay shipping for the return. Because I have weak communication with info@, I have no idea what to expect.

I've sent two emails now, 72 hours apart, with nothing in reply.

I previously bought two other watches from AVI-8, and was pleased with them. But this silliness has cost them a repeat customer. I will not purchase another. I hope I can at least get a refund.

AVI-8 is losing my money because their customer service is poor.

I’m disappointed with my experience with AVI-8. I owned the watch for only about two months and wore it exclusively during normal office use alongside my other watches. Despite that, the crown failed surprisingly easily.

I sent the watch in for repair, but it was ultimately returned unrepaired, and the quoted repair cost was higher than what it would cost to purchase a brand new watch. That was extremely difficult to justify as a customer, especially considering how little the watch had actually been used.

Based on my experience, this seems more like a weakness in the crown design than normal wear and tear or misuse. I understand that issues can happen with any watch, but I expected better durability and stronger customer support from the brand.

Overall, the experience left me very disappointed in both the product quality and the repair process.

watch for 124 eur, came with fedex customs fees + VAT at 46 eur. so total watch cost is 170 eur

I've had 3 strokes in the past one year. I dont go anywhere as only one arm is left working and both legs, my diaphragm, my vocal chords are all paralyzed. The point is I dont need another watch. I have plenty, including 3 from av8. That all said, these watches CALL for me. There's one called earth blue that im struggling with about buying right now. I don't need it. But I effing love it.

Montre commandée et reçue dans les délais.
Je n'ai rien à dire sur la qualité des matériaux mais elle n'est pas comme sur les photos du site officiel.
Raison pour laquelle je souhaite la renvoyer et obtenir un remboursement....
C'est là que le problème arrive: Avi-8 indique sur son site un délais de 2 jours pour répondre à une demande de retour/remboursement mais ils font le mort depuis 15 jours.
J'imagine que le retour est au frais de l'acheteur et vu que l'adresse est à Hong-Kong...
Prix de la montre + frais de douane + TVA + frais de retour, vous payer la montre nettement plus cher que le prix annoncé sur leur site.

Edit: mail envoyé à l'adresse indiquée dans la réponse AVI-8 à mon avis TrustPilot... et bien, pas de réponse non plus.

Broad panel of aircraft inspired watches. Very helpfuff staff.

Watch did not arrive, replied to first email with dismissive attitude, reported to bank, disgusting company, do not buy from these grifters

Purchased a "flyboy" model after non-stop advertising bombardment. I had to try it.

The Good: Amazing shipping. Watch arrived within days of ordering. I wish that someone had let me know that it shipped before it arrived, but hey. The cross over between the AVI-8 people and the headquarters leaves something to be desired. AVI-8; great and responsive. Solar Time (or whatever they call themselves); crickets. Packaging is impressive. Initially, watch looked great. Build quality is better than average.

The Bad: it's a well-dressed cheap watch. The dial appears to be textured plastic! The lume advertised as "Swiss Luminova" isn't. Barely glows at all. The "distressed" look of the dial is kind of depressing (pebble grained plastic...ugh). There's a lot going on with the dial of this watch and it should be crisper. The supplied leather band is cheap with a capital C. Left a stain on my wrist after only a few hours of wear.

Summary: It's not a bad watch, but it's not a great watch either. You get a lot for the price point, just don't expect Swiss or Japanese quality. Just get yourself a real leather band first.

La montre ne présente pas aussi bien en terme de qualité perçue une fois au poignet (matériaux basiques, montre très légère)

Et surtout, SURTOUT le prix des montres est affiché sans frais de douanes !
Autrement dit, une fois la montre expédiée par le fabriquant, il faut payer des frais de douane !!
Un peu plus de 40e pour ma part.

Bref, au final pour le même prix, on a une vraie montre de marque, et de qualité .

Bought ten watches, everyone has a particular that make it amazing. HUD serie is astonishing, with the night luminous band.... go on guys!!!

Based on the other reviews, I may be very lucky but I've bought two AVI-8 watches and love them. I'm a retired aviation engineer and started my career working on the Harrier (AV-8B) and knew John Farley as he was our BAe test pilot so I had to get the regiment blue version. Looks great and keeps time perfectly. As I finished my career at Bell Helicopter, i bought the Bell X-1 (I'm a big Chuck Yeager fan). Again, I love it and have no problems and the shipping was fast and efficient.
