“Well, the watch works as advertised on almost every point except one- the Second Hand jumps between second markers from :45 to :10 and then from :15 to :25...
If I think upon it, there's a bit of disappointment because while this is a birthday gift to myself, the watch is Literally the first Brand New Object I have gotten for myself in decades.
If you read this, do you think that an exchange is in order...?
I do hope to hear from you soon, via text or email.
Thank you.”
“The watch shipped quickly and though I had to return it as I wanted a sterile dial version (my fault, not theirs) the refund was processed super fast. Was my second purchase from LIW and I will definitely purchase from them again - thanks LIW!”
“Great watch. Very lightweight, accurate time and it’s the real deal. No fake marketing navy seal luminox type watch here. The sapphire is a huge bonus for me because the hesalite would scratch easily and this is what I’ve been waiting for. Battery hatch is nice and also a steel crown. Pricey but worth it. They hold their value. Tritium is also another great feature on these. I highly recommend getting one and also highly recommend Long Island Watch. They are fantastic”
“Very good clear, sterile dial, watch is excellent on a NATO strap too, the original strap is military issue I suppose, but with no way to stow tail end overhang, just flaps about. The actual watch is worth every penny and the tritium works like a charm in the wee hours. Watch extremely light being plastic too.”
“This watch is so cool! I love it!! I’m really glad I found this site there’s a lot of great pieces here and I’m discover more. It’s a shame I can’t afford to buy some of the more expensive watches here but I’m okay with that because I’m very satisfied with the ones I found for myself.”
“As always I got great service from Long Island Watch.
However I’m less than impressed with the Marathon Navigator watch. The box clearly states the crown is pulled out to conserve battery life but mine arived running, and for how long is anybody’s guess because Marathon no longer “dates” the back of their watches. It might be an excellent quartz movement but the second hand only hit the minute marks in a few places on the dial, (fault of the movement or mis-marked dial face ??). The strap opening is not quite 20mm and the sharp edges of the case cause it to litterly shread the edges of every 20mm NATO strap I tried to fit to it.
None of these problems are the fault of LIW, but had I paid closer attention I would have returned it before attempting to wear it.
On the good side, my wife needed a good watch to wear while working in the yard and didn’t mind the miss aligned second hand.”
