Depends on your collection. If you have many classic and simple dials then go for AirKing. If it's your first watch and smaller collection then iconic Explorer would be a better choice!

The Explorer is my GADA watch. I'd choose it over the Airking due to having a cleaner dial.

Yeah of, course, your 'GADA' watch. We all know what that means. Obviously.

I voted for the 36mm explorer with my wallet. I like the air king looks but sits bigger on the wrist.

Agree with a comment above....it's also about other watches in your collection. Love the splash of colour on the AK, love the new version over previous Bloodhound dial which I sold when this was offered

I prefer the Explorer, to my eye it’s easier to tell the time

I own an AK and love it. I like the pop of color with the AK.

Explorer for me, it’s so clean, simple, legible has better lume and even looks better with a suit.
