What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic

The Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic is noted for its non-tritium dial option, though some owners prefer the 1-12 numeral layout found on other models. One owner found the 36mm size too small for their wrist. Overall, owners appreciate the Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic for its non-tritium dial option.

Geckota Pioneer Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
