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.

Spinnaker Croft Pioneer

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Croft Pioneer for its detailed workmanship and attractive dial tones that appear distinct in sunlight, with one owner reporting excellent timekeeping of zero gain or loss over two days. However, some owners report the watch keeping poor time, losing five minutes in a day, and find the crown difficult to spin. The leather strap is also noted as rigid. On balance, owners rate the Spinnaker Croft Pioneer highly for its unique aventurine dial and wrist presence at the $130 price point.
