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.

Baltic Scalegraph Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Scalegraph Classic for its stunning retro racing design, detailed dial, and 39.5mm case size, with many finding it offers excellent value. However, some owners report issues with finishing and fit, describing the watches as light or "toylike," while others find the finishing comparable to higher-end brands. Reviewers and owners alike criticize the screw-down chronograph pushers as finicky and impractical, especially given the 100m water resistance which some feel is conceptually incongruent with its rally timer purpose. One owner experienced misaligned bezel markers and moisture ingress after pool use, leading to a return. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Baltic Scalegraph Classic's aesthetic and value proposition, though practical usability concerns regarding the chronograph pushers and isolated quality control issues are noted.
