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.

Orient Bambino Version 9

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 9 for its exceptional value, with dial finishing that rivals much more expensive watches and a high-end feel due to case finishing and a signed crown. The in-house F6222 movement is noted for reliable timekeeping with hacking and hand-winding capabilities, and the 41.5mm case size is considered a comfortable fit for many wrists. However, the mineral crystal is flagged as prone to scratching, and some find the movement noisy and the stock strap to be of lesser quality. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino Version 9 highly for its impressive dial design and overall value proposition at its price point.
