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.

The Orient 75th Anniversary World Map LE is widely praised for its unique world map dial, retro aesthetic, and utility as a world timer with distinct city color-coding. Owners appreciate its bold design, sharp day/night complication, and the sense of freedom it embodies. The internal bezel crown operates smoothly, and the watch is considered a unique and underrated offering great value, with one owner choosing it over another Seiko model due to its in-house movement. However, the F6922 movement's winding and time-setting feel gritty and loose, respectively, and it has a modest 40-hour power reserve and accuracy of +25/-15 seconds per day. Some also criticize its 1969 design and that it's not a "true" world timer, with one commenter wishing it was available in a smaller 38mm case. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Orient 75th Anniversary World Map LE highly for its distinctive vintage design and world-time functionality at its price point.
