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.

Brew Metric Lite

The Brew Metric Lite is praised for its comfortable wear and attractive dial. Owners note the Miyota 6T27 automatic movement, which offers a 40-hour power reserve and features a signed rotor. It includes applied indices with polished "mountain-top" details and lume pips. Some owners, however, express a desire for a larger case and crown. Overall, owners appreciate the Brew Metric Lite for its comfortable wear and beautiful dial.
