What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 36mm

Owners widely praise the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 36mm for its exceptional legibility, featuring large hour markers and MaraGlo lume. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability and competent Swiss-made Selitta SW200-1 automatic movement, offering 300-meter water resistance and a sapphire crystal. Some enthusiasts find the price of $1,380 USD on rubber to be excessive, particularly compared to past models or other brands, and the Spartan bracelet is described as lacking refinement. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Marathon OSAR-D Automatic 36mm a reliable and functional tool watch, with its clear dial and robust build being the primary draws.

Owners widely praise the Sinn 6068 for its clean aesthetic and compact size, fitting well under a dress cuff. One owner sold theirs due to insufficient wrist time. A user notes the GMT hand on the 6060 variant is not fully independent. Overall, owners rate the Sinn 6068 highly for its blend of classy and functional design suitable for everyday wear.

From video reviewers

The watch's 12-hour UTC function is a notable feature, allowing for the display of two time zones on a 12-hour basis. The watch's lume brightness is a weakness, with reviewers noting that the luminous paint on the hands and appliqués is not particularly strong. Reviewers disagree on the watch's overall appearance, with one reviewer mentioning a sleek appearance due to the polished stainless steel case, while the other reviewer does not provide a description of the watch's appearance.
