Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D QuartzvsTissot PR 100

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.

Owners widely praise the Tissot PR 100 for its excellent value, with specific mentions of its sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, and the 80-hour power reserve of its Powermatic 80 movement. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its pleasing winding action and strong lume. Accuracy figures for the Powermatic 80 COSC variants are reported as -2 seconds per day or +/- 1-2 seconds per day. Some owners note that the crystal attracts fingerprints and that the black finish on some bracelets can wear off after extended daily use. A single owner of a quartz model experienced a recurring issue where the watch stopped for periods weekly, which was not resolved by a battery replacement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PR 100 highly for its exceptional value and robust features, particularly its durable construction and reliable movements.
