Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic

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.

Boldr Venture Wayfarer

Some owners note the finishing is only "ok," while others describe it as excellent, and accuracy figures range from acceptable to an average of +12 seconds per day.
