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.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue for its versatile design, pleasant manual winding action, and the value offered by its Sellita SW200-2 automatic movement, especially considering its USA assembly. The textured dial, often described as a "sandpaper dial" that shines in the sun, along with applied numerals and dark blue hands, are frequently highlighted as attractive features. Its 38mm or 39mm diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions are noted for good wearability on smaller wrists, though one owner found it necessary to remove four links for a proper fit. The lume is described as legible but dim. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue highly for its distinctive dial and value at the price point.
