One owner reported their Arctic Steel Navigator's pip fell out shortly after unboxing, and the bezel later became gritty and hard to turn, though another owner found success cleaning their gritty bezel with soap and water. A reviewer noted a preference for a different strap design for a cleaner tail tuck. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Arctic Steel Navigator highly for its pragmatic design and accurate, reliable quartz movement.
