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.

Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-Tone

The gold-tone Citizen Series 8 880 GMT features a "Root Beer"-like color scheme with a gradient white-to-black dial and gold accents, inspired by the Tokyo skyline. Reviewers note its chunky, angular case silhouette with short lugs and a bracelet with two shades of ion-plated gold. The bidirectional bezel has a serrated edge and clicks hourly, featuring a blue and black 24-hour scale. It offers GMT functionality with an independently jumping local hour hand and 100 meters of water resistance, powered by the Citizen 9054 automatic GMT movement. Lume is described as good but not as intense as a dive watch. At its price point, the pin-and-collar bracelet system lacking micro-adjustments is flagged as a drawback. Overall, reviewers highlight the unique color scheme and GMT functionality as key features of the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-Tone.
