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.

Citizen Tsuyosa

The Citizen Tsuyosa is praised for its gorgeous dial and nice finishing, with owners finding its white dial versatile and its wrist presence excellent. It is considered a fun, people-pleasing watch, especially for summer, and offers excellent value. However, the 40-hour power reserve requires resetting after weekends, and the integrated bracelet rattles. One owner notes the Miyota 8210 movement is noisy and considered boring for enthusiasts, with initial accuracy issues that resolved themselves. The US price of $450 is seen as too high, with better value around $300 in the EU. On balance, owners rate the Citizen Tsuyosa highly for its dial and finishing at the price, despite caveats regarding the bracelet and movement.

From video reviewers

The Citizen Tsuyosa's compact size and versatility are notable strengths, with the 37mm case being a welcome addition to the series. The watch's price point under SGD 600 is also a positive aspect. A weakness is the integrated bracelet's potential for rattle.
