What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Hudson 38 MK5

The Maen Hudson 38 MK5 is praised for its wearable 38mm case, comfortable bracelet with micro-adjust, and 300m water resistance. Reviewers note improved finishing and a new sandblasted dial on the redesigned case, powered by the La Joux-Perret G100 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. However, the lume is not very bright despite using X1 Super-LumiNova, and the brushing on the lugs clashes with the endlinks. Some find its overall presence too modest, lacking distinguishing character. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Maen Hudson 38 MK5 for its competent build quality and comfortable wearability at its price point, though some desire more visual flair.

From video reviewers

The Maen M1.1.5 features a compact wear profile with a well-articulated bracelet and smooth finishing against the skin. The watch's use of the ETA2824 movement provides reliable accuracy. A potential drawback is the watch's bezel action, described as 'not the smoothest'.

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto is praised for its high-accuracy quartz movement, with owners noting its comfort and reliable performance. Reviewers highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, featuring a sandblasted steel case, tritium tubes for constant low-light visibility, and 100-meter water resistance. One owner finds the 41mm case runs a bit small. The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto utilizes an ETA F06.412 quartz movement with a claimed accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year and includes a GMT bidirectional bezel. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto highly for its comfortable wear and dependable, high-accuracy quartz movement.
