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.

Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin

The Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin is widely praised for its slim case, with reviewers noting a 6.9mm or 7.1mm thickness, and its elegant, vintage-inspired styling. Specific design elements highlighted include a Côtes de Genève or hammered "Tuscan" dial finish and an integrated bracelet. The hand-wound ETA Pesaux 7001 movement is noted for its role in achieving the thin profile, offering a 42-hour power reserve. However, the black text on the vertically striped dial can be difficult to read, and the integrated bracelet lacks a quick-release system. Some reviewers expressed a desire for a 38mm case size option. Overall, reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin highly for its slim, elegant design and vintage aesthetic at its price point.

From video reviewers

The ultra-thin profile is a standout feature. The value proposition is a point of discussion.
