The Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic is noted for its comfortable wearability on wrists under 7 inches, with one owner finding the 41mm size perfect. Accuracy observations vary, with one owner reporting a consistent +1 second per day and another noting -20 seconds per day. The watch features a Sellita automatic movement and has dimensions of 14mm thickness and a 48mm lug-to-lug. Overall, owners appreciate the Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic for its comfortable fit and Marathon's overall appeal.

The AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition features a dial that is considered neither boring nor overly loud, with case finishing described as acceptable for its price point. Its 43mm meca-quartz design is inspired by Avro Lancaster bomber cockpits and includes a 24-hour subdial with red accents, priced at US$255. The meca-quartz movement provides quartz accuracy and a sweep-second hand, though it is noted as less smooth than an automatic. However, its 51mm lug-to-lug measurement causes it to wear large on wrists up to 17.5cm. Overall, owners find the AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition to be a well-designed watch for its price, with its primary drawback being its substantial lug-to-lug measurement.
