Each of you have seen hundreds of Marathon watches shown and talked about on the various watch forums. I saw those and decided to get one for myself. My Marathon TSAR came yesterday on the rubber strap, but I got the matching bracelet for it. My local jeweler mounted the bracelet.

I am very pleased with the size (41mm case which is 14mm high), the quality and the comfort on the wrist. Being quartz, it is accurate. The tritium tubes do not glow as brightly as those on the T100 Deep Blue watches (which I have owned and sold as they were just too big for my wrist), but on a military watch I doubt they want too much glow. Cheers, Bill P.

Thanks for the kind words on the photos. I wore my TSAR today and really like the watch. For the money I think it is hard to beat. Cheers, Bill P.

Love mine. I put the rubber strap back on to use it as my dive watch. Also notices that the guy in the PADI Nitrox DVD has one one. Way cool watch!

Kudos on the TSAR, brother. Welcome to the club. I've had one for three years and it has been terrific.
