Beaufort PulsatimervsMarathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic

The Beaufort Pulsatimer is praised for its solid manual-wind Sellita SW510M BH b movement and remarkable value, with one reviewer noting a 63-hour power reserve. Its 39mm case features dynamic, layered finishes and piston-style pushers, blending vintage dressiness with a robust chronograph design. Some find the optional beads-of-rice bracelet too much for its aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Beaufort Pulsatimer highly for its unique design and strong value proposition.

Owners widely praise the Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic as a tough, underrated tool watch with lifestyle appeal, highlighting its robust build and tritium lume for excellent legibility. However, its 46mm size is a common criticism, with some finding it heavy and top-heavy, and the OEM rubber strap stiff. One owner noted the watch runs about 10 seconds fast after three days, and the ETA 2836-2 movement offers approximately two days of power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic highly for its robust tool-watch build and legibility, despite its substantial size.
