Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
The Maen Hudson 38 MK5 is praised for its wearable 38mm case, comfortable bracelet with micro-adjust, and 300m water resistance. Reviewers note improved finishing and a new sandblasted dial on the redesigned case, powered by the La Joux-Perret G100 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. However, the lume is not very bright despite using X1 Super-LumiNova, and the brushing on the lugs clashes with the endlinks. Some find its overall presence too modest, lacking distinguishing character. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Maen Hudson 38 MK5 for its competent build quality and comfortable wearability at its price point, though some desire more visual flair.
The Maen M1.1.5 features a compact wear profile with a well-articulated bracelet and smooth finishing against the skin. The watch's use of the ETA2824 movement provides reliable accuracy. A potential drawback is the watch's bezel action, described as 'not the smoothest'.
