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 Quartz

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz is widely praised for its highly accurate Swiss Made ETA F06.412 PreciDrive movement, with stated accuracy of ±10 seconds per year, and its constant low-light visibility from self-illuminating tritium tubes. Owners find the watch comfortable and impressive, noting its 41mm sandblasted steel case with an asymmetrical design, bi-directional GMT bezel with excellent action, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance with a screw-down crown. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz highly for its robust tool watch design and exceptional accuracy at its price point.

Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT

Owners widely report issues with the DG5833GMT movement in the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT, including the minute hand jumping significantly when setting the time and general unreliability leading to failures within months. While one owner noted timekeeping within +/- 5 seconds per day, others suggest opting for models with the NH34 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT's movement reliability is a significant concern for owners.
