I can imagine these are not for everybody but I actually like the concept. The packaging that the watches come in ties in wonderfully with the Airfix brand and the watches themselves are of good quality (I've owned two for several years with no problems). I've heard some say it's a distraction from Airfix's main business which I can see where they're coming from to an extent but depending on the agreement between Airfix and AVI-8, it's certainly not going to do either company any harm. Always enjoy the videos Matt. 👍👍

What I think people forget is that this is not Airfix that are making watches, it is Avi-8, an actual watch-making company... It's a collaboration between the two companies

Unfortunately i'd pass on this watch. I own one of their watches (one of the Hawker Hunter ones) and it completely fell to bits. the buttons came off and the strap fell apart. They are nice designs, but the poor build quality is not worth the price they charge for them.

Hi Matt, Looking at the other watches in the range that you showed it seems your one doesn't have the airfix logo that they have on the face. Personally i think the logo makes them look cheap and tacky and the watches have a tenuous link to famous aircraft. I believe they also did an 80th anniversary D Day watch recently to cash in on that momentous historical undertaking where thousands of people lost their lives. They look like the sort of items to be found in the back pages of newspaper supplements!

The airfix logo is present on the face of the watch - its just more subtle than the other watches
