“This is an awesome looking watch and feels great on the wrist. Unfortunately I wouldn’t trust it at my daughter’s paddle pool, never mind the military. I shower with all my watches and first day in the shower it’s all steamed up. It’s supposed to be 60m resistant. I’ll just stick to my cheap GShock for the role I wanted this watch for. If you don’t go near water this watch is a great option. I however will not be showering without my watch. I’m a huge Marathon fan and have a few others that I love. Just wish this had a screw down crown and was Marathon tough. This is supposed to be a military watch and for the price, I expected more.”
“I love this watch! It wears like there is nothing on the wrist, it keeps great time, the illumination is incredible, all the indices are clear, sharp and crisp, the battery hatch will make a change out a cinch. One down side - the bezel is super tight and needs a lot of breaking in, rendering that part practically unusable.”
“I have wanted this quartz timepiece for quite a while. Long Island Watch had it at a great price so I picked it up. A quality, simple but well built watch that the second hand actually hits all the markers instead of landing between them when ticking! Plus it's really lightweight and the Tritium has tubes make it a breeze to see the time in the dark/low light. The only thing I would change (and I did) was to have a better strap for it. I remedied that by buying a nice, seatbelt nylon NATO strap for it. Also, keep in mind that this watch has fixed pins that will allow you only to use NATO type or single pass nylon straps. But no biggie, this watch was designed for military use. Overall it's a fantastic watch and Long Island Watch delivered it quick and speedy.”
“Quick delivery. Easy on line ordering. Watch looks great. Keeps very accurate time. Looking forward to purchasing one of their Search & Rescue models!”
“Satisfactory watch. It is well made and looks good with its attention to detail. It is a khaki color with a very readable face. Sharp looking, with design and manufacturing attention paid to the sape and appearance of the hands, including the second hand which has a visible red tip. You can't beat the luminescence. The bezel is unidirectional and accurate, lining up exactly to the selected number. I have not worn it, so I cannot comment on durability of case construction. Not a fan of the NATO type bands, so I am waiting on a bund from a leather craftsman. Marathons look well made and are a cut above other watches in each model's particular price range, even the ones at this lower cost end, as this one is.”
“The transaction on this purchase was easy. Shipping was prompt. This Marathon watch is performing as expected; typical Marathon accuracy and quality. I have owned one of these in early 2000’s when it was issued to me in the Air Force, so I knew you hat Was was getting. I bought this one from Island, because it was on sale and $40 cheaper than anywhere else. I am pleased with this purchase .”
