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.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
