“I recently purchased the Marathon GSAR Automatic and I'm loving it. I have worn lots of military style analog watches over the years including Hamilton and Luminox and this one is the real thing. While not the most stylish or versatile watch no one will ever question its purpose driven credentials. It's tough, its functional, it has its own style that just cannot be argued with. It turns heads, even among luxury watch guys, without being a luxury watch. I typically don't like watches any larger then a 40mm-42mm and although this one is a little taller then my others the 41mm case (42mm across the bezel) feels more compact then I expected. I also own the Marathon Navigator quartz and I enjoy them both. Finally, Long Island Watch was great to deal with. They shipped the watch less then 24 hours after I purchased it and it arrived within three days, and over the weekend at that. I'll be a return customer!”
“This was my first time ordering from Long Island Watch and I'll certainly be a returning customer. Pricing was great and shipping was extremely prompt. I was in between the GSAR and the medium version after seeing the online reviews about how large these Marathon divers are. I have a 7.25" wrist and typically wear a 42mm and the GSAR is the perfect size. I ordered mine with the bracelet and IMO its a must with this watch. Its well crafted, accurate, wears perfect and is actually lighter than I was expecting. Additionally the tritium t25 is perfect for night viewing. After wearing the watch a few days its definitely a new favorite of mine. Thanks again Marc!”
“Thanks to the excellent reviews on The Urban Gentry and Island Watch, I bought this watch after first dabbling in the Medium size. I had to sell the Medium after realizing it was too small for my 7-inch wrist. Ah, we learn!”
“This is a GREAT watch. Its elegance is in its function not in its form. Built like a tank. Accuracy on my watch is +4 seconds per day right out of the box (that matches COSC standards). I trek the world 365 days a years as a professional wildlife, nature and travel photographer (and writer) and this is the watch I have been looking for. Long Island Watch had the watch, price and service I insist upon.”
“Overall I am very pleased with the watch. Very legible, keeps great time, and nice looking. I would spring for the SS bracelet -- very comfortable, micro adjustments for the perfect fit and makes the watch look great!”
