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.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm x 10mm case. Reviewers note the ETA 2893-2 movement as a good choice with hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. The bronze crown, intended to develop a patina, is flagged as a potentially unpopular design element that some feel looks unfinished or out of place. Prices range from $1,425 to $2,150 AUD. Overall, reviewers find the Farer GMT Automatic offers good value for a GMT watch in its price segment, with the dial and case proportions being key strengths.
