“I love tool and dive watches, my collection of them exceeds 50 in number. I'm an active 61 year old truck driver by trade, and work in all kinds of weather conditions. When its cold, my wrists & fingers get slimmer, when Im hot, they get fatter. Because of this, Ive replaced a lot of my OEM bracelets with rubber FKM straps, unless the OEM bracelet has a tool-less ratcheting divers clasp. Ive got a few of them from different watch brands. The bracelet LIW watch offers for their offered 41mm SAR watches is absolute top notch quality! I'm absolutely impressed, and it might be the best quality, most well made watch bracelet I own. It was a bit of a PITA for me to install on my TSAR, i couldnt manage it, but a local jeweler made it look easy. When buying a 41mm Marathon watch, if youre interested in a metal bracelet for it, the package deal with an OEM rubber bracelet plus the free LIW perfectly matching bracelet, when including a 5% discount is a better deal than buying from overseas AD tariff & tax free deals, even if you pay +/- 10%+ sales tax locally.
Im looking at buying an OSAR-D, and it will definitely be with LIW, with the LIW bracelet and 5% discount! I only wish LIW offered a aftermarket bracelet made for the JSAR. My JSAR is FKM rubber strapped, but the day LIW offers a JSAR bracelet is the day I'll buy one. BTW, both my quartz JSAR & TSAR are keeping time to within 2 seconds/month.
My wrist is a more round than flat 7" wrist , and they both wear well on me.
Also, i have a number of tritium watches, mostly T100. I have Luminox T25 watches, but it seems i can see the Marathon T25 better than Luminox. Ymmv. My T100 watches are brighter than Marathon T25, but the Marathon T25 is still easy for me to see, at 61.
Also, Ive had a number of questions about LIW offerings, both for this and past purchases. I dont recall waiting longer than 12 hours for a reply, but ALL replies Ive received have definitely happened within 24 hours of my inquiry from Marc himself. You just cant ask for better customer service. All of my watches from LIW have shipped out from LIW within 2 business days of my order, not including holidays. Ymmv, but LIW is definitely a trusted vendor IMHO.”
“I love this watch. I guess I say that every time I buy a new watch. This is special. The moment I put it on I knew this was a high quality and well built watch. Fits good on my 7.2 inch wrist. Feels real solid.”
“I've always liked a dive watch as a constant companion on trips especially. This watch is similar but also a substantial upgrade to my previous dive watch which I wore out. It looks and feels like a high quality product.”
“Bomb proof watch at a great price. Great Long Island Watch customer service and care along the way. If you’re in the market for a marathon watch, this is where you buy it.”
“Great product. It's on my wrist as I type. They say a true measure of a company is how they deal with a problem. The first watch sent didn't work, and LIW performed brilliantly and quickly to solve the problem. Buy with confidence. Completely happy with the watch and service. Bravo.”
“This watched was purchased as a gift for our son who is in the military. We waited a little too long to buy and had to have the watch shipped overnight. Long Island Watch gave great instructions on timing and the watch arrived on time. The process of ordering was super easy and the price was excellent.”
