“This is a great timepiece. The watch feels great on the wrist and wears smaller than I expected it to. I'm glad I didn't get the midsize. The rubber strap is very comfortable and complements the GSAR well. I had questions about the strap and emailed Marc about it. He responded promptly and helped me with what I needed. Great customer service. Finally, the watch actually arrived earlier than advertised. I'm very satisfied.”
“I’m a student naval aviator and I bought this watch to use for flight purposes. So far I’m very pleased with its performance, ruggedness, and accuracy for an automatic watch. And at the price that Long Island Watch sells it for it’s a great value. A lower price than I would get buying direct from marathon with a military discount. Hoping to get the stainless steel bracelet soon so that I can wear the watch for dressier occasions.”
“The only thing I'd give advice on before purchase is if you regularly wear a fitness watch or something along those lines you might want to go for the JDD model otherwise it's a fantastic watch and my biggest surprise is that videos and pictures don't do it justice in terms of lume, in the dark it's very clearly visible even though it might seem a little dim at first. All in all would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants a tough tool watch”
“I was on the fence between the 41 and 36. I prefer a 39-40mm diver and was concerned the 41 with its substantial bezel would wear too big. I was about to pull the trigger on the 36 when I decided to reach out to Marc. He recommended the 41 and he was right. The 41 wears perfect on my 6.5" wrist. It wears smaller than my SKX009 and a little bigger than my 38mm Islander diver. It falls right in that sweet spot of 39-40mm divers. So if you are concerned at all that 36mm will be too small it probably will be - go for the 41.”
“First of all I want to say thanks to Mark for his prompt responses to my questions about this watch.
I have had my eye on this watch for years and finally decided to make the purchase. The watch is everything others had said. Great quality, well made and very accurate. I have had this now for over two weeks and far it has lost a total of 5 seconds, which is hard to believe. This has been a surprise since I have owned many automatics and have not had such accuracy.
Fast shipping and arrived two days earlier than expected.
Will definitely buy from Long Island Watch again.”
“Another great buy from LIW
This watch has a grate quality, beautiful readability day and night and the tritium is awesome. The standard rubber strap is great and the watch is a strap monster. I think the lug-to-lug distance on these Marathons makes them wear smaller than they are. If 42mm is in the lower end of your watches size, you might consider the JSAR.”
“Great mil spec watch. You won’t find any better for the money. This has all the good stuff, sapphire, tritium, iso 6425, Swiss auto movement, and so much more. My other marathons served me well and this is a no brainer. Marc is an excellent guy and will deliver outstanding service. Highly recommend this watch and Long Island watch”
