The Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 41mm is noted for its high legibility, featuring large hour markers and a white dial with applied indices. A functional date magnifier is present. The watch utilizes a reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. One reviewer found the bracelet lacked refinement and preferred the rubber strap option. On balance, reviewers highlight the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 41mm's strong legibility and functional design as its primary strengths.
Owners widely praise the WISE ASURA's aesthetic, with one calling it one of the most beautiful watches they have seen. However, opinions on its value are mixed, with one owner suggesting a price between $200-$400 and another noting a significant discount brought its price down to a competitor's level. On balance, owners rate the WISE ASURA highly for its striking design, though its perceived value at retail price is a point of contention.
