What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM

The Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM is praised for its handsome, retro design and attractive, clean dials with great hands. Owners note the case is nicely shaped and offers good value at $650 USD. However, some find the lugs extend far on smaller wrists, and the corporate Jeep logo detracts from the dial's appeal for some. The leather strap may need replacement with regular wear. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM highly for its retro design and value, despite some reservations about the Jeep branding and strap.

Nodus Obscura II

The Nodus Obscura II is widely praised for its novel "Exposure Gauge Complication" bezel, designed for film photographers using the Sunny 16 rule, and its iridescent dial that resembles mother of pearl. Owners also highlight the top-notch bracelet with micro-adjustment and the accessible $650 price point. Some find the bezel concept a bit gimmicky. The watch features a 38mm steel case, a TMI NH38 movement, 100m water resistance, and a box sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Obscura II highly for its creative complication and iridescent dial at an accessible price.
