“This Marathon GSAR screams quality. The dial is small but easy to read. The fine print and numerals are legible but it's the hour markers and 1-12 numerals that jump out at a glance. The tritium markers are easy to see at night and the orange 12 o'clock marker orients the watch.
This is my first automatic watch. The movement is starting to settle in but I don't know yet if it will need to be regulated. It's keeping better time than it did the first few days.
The rubber strap is super flexible and comfortable. It narrows to 18mm allowing complete freedom of movement of the wrist. I put a Borealis dive strap on it anyway because I like those.
I don't know if the movement and features of this watch justify the price but I like the watch a lot and was able to get it on sale with an additional discount as a first time customer. This watch is worth it to me.
Thanks Marc”
“I love this watch, very nice. the buckle on the rubber strap is the nicest one if seen.
this wasn't covered so much in Mark's review. overall finish of the watch is also very nice, like its milled from billet.
my only disappointment is with the bezel, it has a bit of bounce, if I tap on it, it makes a clicking sound. could and should be tighter.”
“Fantastic timepiece. I owned the MSAR 36mm automatic) for a year and enjoyed it so much that I figured I had to own the GSAR as well. Accurate, well made, and brand history are all present in this watch. It hasn’t left my wrist since it’s arrival.”
“The GSAR is the German shepherd of Swiss watches. It's built to get the job done in any environment and look great doing it, but it's comfortable and equally well-suited for a relaxed atmosphere. You really can't go wrong with it”
