What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto is praised for its high-accuracy quartz movement, with owners noting its comfort and reliable performance. Reviewers highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, featuring a sandblasted steel case, tritium tubes for constant low-light visibility, and 100-meter water resistance. One owner finds the 41mm case runs a bit small. The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto utilizes an ETA F06.412 quartz movement with a claimed accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year and includes a GMT bidirectional bezel. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto highly for its comfortable wear and dependable, high-accuracy quartz movement.

Grand Seiko SBGP009

Grand Seiko SBGP009 owners note its "normal quartz" movement, and one owner criticizes the bracelet for lacking a taper. One owner cites a 40-year-old Seiko quartz watch that has only required battery changes as evidence of the reliability of Grand Seiko's quartz movements. On balance, owners value the Grand Seiko SBGP009 for its perceived long-term reliability.
