“I wanted a reliable tough watch for my job, overall very pleased. TSAR is built like a tank with utility front and center. Its not dressed to impress but that's not what it's built for. It's a strap monster and the lume is fantastic late at night. After all other lume has died down the tritium is always glowing bright. The only downside is that the seconds hands don't always hit their minutes markers. If your looking for a rugged tool watch, this marathon won't disappoint.”
“I love this watch. Love it. Perfect size, easy to read day and night. Shopping experience here was easy, fast, and best price I could find. Definitely recommend.”
“Thank you for a quick, easy, and honest transaction. I love the watch just wish I had one issued to me when I was in the military so I wouldn’t have to buy one. Haha. Thanks again!”
“Within one month the TSAR seconds hand began to stop for 15-20 seconds at around the 40 second mark, then restart. Has since been mailed back to Marathon, at my expense for shipping.
This is in no way the fault of Long Island Watch, as the item was shipped and arrived in working order.”
“Firstly, hats off to Marc for providing far more than an online shop with great service. Continuing to do watch reviews and tutorials on Youtube adds great value to the community.
The Marathon TSAR is built like a tank, feels solid and provides the right amount of lume with the tritium tubes. Accuracy on my unit is around +2 to 3 seconds a month.
The design of the face for a military time piece could be better for legibility. I judge ease of reading a watch dial with my reading glasses off, as that will be the case when I'm out and about to read a watch.
To make a watch dial legible without reading glasses there needs to be good distinction between the hour and minute hands, and clearly defined 5 minute markers (indices). The Marathon with MaraGlo (JSAR) does a better job here.”
“There are tons of reviews on the Marathon TSAR, so not much to say about it. Great watch, also great service and delivey.
Thank you Islandwatch
Will buy again for sure”
