What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

The Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino is widely praised for its unique Byzantine art engraving across the case and bracelet, and its elegant gray fumé dial. Owners find it extremely comfortable and appreciate its solid build quality for the €900 price point.

Some owners, however, consider the price point of $350-420 to be somewhat high. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Marathon GPQ (General Purpose Quartz) Field Watch highly for its dependable quartz accuracy and excellent tritium lume.
