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.

Grand Seiko SBGZ003

Grand Seiko SBGZ003 owners and reviewers widely praise its classic 38.5mm x 9.8mm dimensions and the meticulous perfection of its craft, with some calling it the sexiest Grand Seiko ever seen. The Spring Drive caliber 9R02 offers an 84-hour power reserve. Some find the dial's color off-putting, and the $57,000 price is a significant barrier for many. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SBGZ003 highly for its stunning "carved" dial and Micro Artist Studio finishing.
