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.

Traska Summiteer Charcoal

Owners widely praise the Traska Summiteer Charcoal for its comfortable 38.5mm size, short lugs, clean dial, and proud crystal, with some noting its excellent fit and finish and smooth winding action. Timekeeping averages +2 seconds per day, and the hardened steel treatment is a valued addition. Some owners find the dial plain and prefer textured alternatives, and one owner experienced dial alignment issues with a recent Traska release. The bracelet is criticized by some for being noisy, sagging, and having a clasp with rough edges, though others praise its on-the-fly micro-adjustment. On balance, owners rate the Traska Summiteer Charcoal highly for its overall package and value proposition at its price point.
