Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim AutovsMarathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Auto is praised for its elegance, light weight, and impressive leather strap, offering a classy yet engaging aesthetic. Its thin 8mm profile, achieved partly by omitting a seconds hand and utilizing the ETA 2892 movement, contributes to its wearability. However, one owner notes the 44mm case size as being very large, and another finds it less appealing than vintage Hamilton models, though the black dial version is considered better looking. Overall, owners appreciate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Auto for its slim profile and elegant design.

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz is widely praised for its high-accuracy Swiss Made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, rated at +/- 10 seconds per year, and its tritium lume. Reviewers and owners highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, noting the sandblasted steel case with an asymmetric design, excellent bi-directional bezel action, and drilled lug holes. Some owners find it perfectly suited for sport/rugged use, though not necessarily as an everyday watch. One owner points out that the case's distinctive asymmetry deviates from current aesthetic trends. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz highly for its robust build and exceptional timekeeping accuracy at its price point.
