What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic

The Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic is noted for its non-tritium dial option, though some owners prefer the 1-12 numeral layout found on other models. One owner found the 36mm size too small for their wrist. Overall, owners appreciate the Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic for its non-tritium dial option.

AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Avon Chronograph

Owners widely report the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter's unique handless design with rotating discs is not easily legible but can be learned, and the 45mm case wears comfortably. One owner praises the leather strap and clasp as incredibly soft, while another flags the case, crown, and crystal fitment as lacking and feeling cheap, noting the mineral glass crystal will scratch easily. The Miyota automatic movement is considered trustworthy, though the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter is sometimes seen as having a design similar to other brands. On balance, owners appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter for its unique time-telling mechanism and comfortable wearability, despite some concerns about case finishing and crystal durability.
