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.

Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch

The Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch is widely praised as an affordable, classic dress watch with a well-balanced design and a sun and moon dial. Owners appreciate its sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, and the F6B24 automatic movement, which offers hand-winding, hacking, and day, date, and 24-hour complications. Some owners find the 42.5mm case size and 14mm thickness to be large, and note that the moonphase is a day/night complication. However, others find it surprisingly not heavy and like its layout and finish, considering Orient the best value brand. Overall, owners rate the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch highly for its attractive sun and moon dial and excellent value.
