What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Arctic OSAR 46mm Automatic

Owners widely praise the Marathon Arctic OSAR 46mm Automatic for its overbuilt toughness and industrial, instrument-like aesthetic, with some preferring the Arctic dial for legibility. One owner notes the automatic movement may be unnecessary for rough use compared to a quartz option. Reviewers mention the MaraGlo luminous paint and a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Some owners question its rising price and luxury positioning, with one reporting poor lume and movement performance. Overall, owners value the Marathon Arctic OSAR 46mm Automatic for its robust build and utilitarian design.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional value, thin profile, and solid build quality, often noting its finishing and wearability as superior for its price point. Reviewers consistently flag its slim case, with measurements around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, and appreciate its non-homage design and comfortable lug curvature. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting only 2 seconds per day loss, while another notes their Sellita SW200 movement runs at +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners report inconsistent power reserve not reaching the advertised 42 hours and find the lume sub-par for nighttime legibility. A few also mention sharp bracelet edges and a potentially short bracelet for larger wrists, and one owner dislikes the "COMBAT" text on the dial. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its impressive thinness and value as a Swiss automatic diver.
