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.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
