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.

Farer Lethbridge Gold

Owners widely praise the Farer Lethbridge Gold's attractive appearance and finishing, with one owner calling its PVD gold finish the best they've seen. The watch runs at +4 seconds per day. Some owners note the gold PVD coating can scratch easily and fades slightly on edges, and the original strap tarnished quickly, leading some to seek strap alternatives like blue or gray leather, or NATO/sailcloth. One owner mentions its manual-wind movement and that it is not real gold, which is acceptable given the price. Overall, owners rate the Farer Lethbridge Gold highly for its striking aesthetics and good value, despite minor concerns about the strap and PVD durability.

From video reviewers

The 24-time-zone display is a key strength. No consensus on weaknesses.
