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 41mm Automatic

The Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic is noted for its comfortable wearability on wrists under 7 inches, with one owner finding the 41mm size perfect. Accuracy observations vary, with one owner reporting a consistent +1 second per day and another noting -20 seconds per day. The watch features a Sellita automatic movement and has dimensions of 14mm thickness and a 48mm lug-to-lug. Overall, owners appreciate the Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic for its comfortable fit and Marathon's overall appeal.

AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition

The AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition features a dial that is considered neither boring nor overly loud, with case finishing described as acceptable for its price point. Its 43mm meca-quartz design is inspired by Avro Lancaster bomber cockpits and includes a 24-hour subdial with red accents, priced at US$255. The meca-quartz movement provides quartz accuracy and a sweep-second hand, though it is noted as less smooth than an automatic. However, its 51mm lug-to-lug measurement causes it to wear large on wrists up to 17.5cm. Overall, owners find the AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition to be a well-designed watch for its price, with its primary drawback being its substantial lug-to-lug measurement.
