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.

Longines ELEGANT COLLECTION

The Longines Elegant Collection is widely appreciated for its value and the complications offered at its price point. However, some owners find the case finishing could be improved, and certain variants are noted as being thick with sub-dials that can be difficult to read. On balance, owners view the Longines Elegant Collection as a satisfying watch, particularly for its value and complications.
