Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic

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.

Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz for its superb case finishing, legibility, and premium look, with its 40mm size proving comfortable for many wrists. Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers adding unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is poor and the 50-meter water resistance is limited, while others desire a big date complication not supported by the solar movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz highly for its excellent finishing and value proposition.
