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 46mm Automatic

Owners widely praise the Marathon Arctic OSAR 46mm Automatic for its overbuilt toughness and industrial, instrument-like aesthetic, with some preferring the Arctic dial for legibility. One owner notes the automatic movement may be unnecessary for rough use compared to a quartz option. Reviewers mention the MaraGlo luminous paint and a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Some owners question its rising price and luxury positioning, with one reporting poor lume and movement performance. Overall, owners value the Marathon Arctic OSAR 46mm Automatic for its robust build and utilitarian design.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.
