Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2020
- Little brother to the JSAR YAMAM edition I own and reviewed previously, I decided to pick one of these up in the quartz version as a watch I could "grab n' go" and still have a great standout watch. I really like it and I think you will too.
Note: in the video I referred to this watch's even smaller brother as the GSAR. WRONG! Its called the MSAR at 36mm. My apologies.

Great review on a fantastic watch that I have had my eye on for a long time. One day I will add a Marathon to my collection. Congrats Dane and wear it in good health.
Thank you BB. Great watches. Not cheap, but worth the money.
Great watch just picked one up recently after watching your review. A much underrated company, which keeps them reasonably priced keep up the good work.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. Marathon makes great watches. I love all three that I have.
Very in depth review of this great watch,I subbed and liked! I used to be a police search and rescue diver for the county sheriffs office and did that for about a decade,this was before the UA-cam’s of the world so information was a lot of word of mouth and tv commercials so I never had the experience of owning this watch while in that profession but I promise this would be my dive watch of choice,I do own the tsar now and it’s my favorite watch!
I hope you go out and get one of these. They are great watches. Definitely worth owning. And of course thank you for your service to your community.
I both liked and subbed to your channel. This is my next watch!
Thank you very much for the sub up......and I know you'll love this watch.
I love my JSAR, its a TANK!! But IMO i wish they had a different shape hour hand or different color hand to disquisition between the two hands. Awesome video !
Thank you Swami. I hope you enjoy JSAR as much as I love mine.
Would like them to make the TSAR Arctic version in quartz. Don't really want an auto. Thanks for the vid. Hope your still enjoying your Marathons.
I still enjoy all three of my Marathon SAR watches. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi, have the TSAR, the MSAR Artic quartz, and the Navigator, just bought the GSAR Artic Auto, have to say disappointed with the movement, running -4 sec. a day on mine after 7 day's on wrist, hoping it will settle toward's +,the quartz movement's keep very accurate time on my Marathon's. Love these Marathon's!!
One correction that I have for anyone else watching, Marathon make both the GSAR and TSAR in the medium (as shown in the video) and small sizes. GSAR is an automatic and TSAR is quartz. I believe they have both sizes in black and white dial variants for both models now. Check out Marc’s listings on Long Island Watch for any other details you might have questions about, I’m sure there are answers on his site.
Thank you for that additional information. I am sure it will help many folks.
Cool watch
I think so too.
That looks like a tough SOB. I have been eyeballing the general purpose marathon since I first started watch collecting, but the manual wind 39mm version. It has a very odd case shape. This one is really tool-ish I love the looks of it. It'd be even better if the bezel was a touch thinner... great watch.
Glad you liked it sir.
Do a prediction for conference winners updated every week that would be awesome with the CFP ones too and playoff eliminator
Not a bad idea
I'm actually thinking about grabbing one of these. There's nothing comparable to it in a price range. But… It's so hard to buy a watch that is around $700 when you know the actual Swiss ETA F06 Quartz movement by itself only cost about 50 bucks. But, it's supposed to be one of the better quartz movements out there. But you see what I'm saying LOL.
I see what you're saying yes. All I can say is when you get one of these and put it on, you will see where your money went.
@LRK20 plus it's antimagnetic property and backing of company. You can send it back to have it serviced with battery change
That’s why you get the automatic. Can’t get quartz for that money.
It seems like your not paying for the movement as it seems a lot of really highly regarded watches have non expensive movements in them,but yeah this is an incredible watch.,taking it into the ocean in less than 2 seeks so I can’t wait!
that 46mm watch was enormous.
I admit these are big watches from Marathon. But as a tool watch, man there ain't too many better.
im making a tough decision between JSAR and TSAR.
May i know what is your wrist size please?
7.25 inches/18.5cm
Both my JSAR and my TSAR fit great on my wrist. But I do love my JSAR the most.
👍Wish i could get one of these especially the JSAR Red Maple as one of my fishing/scuba trip watches. But I am in my austere mode till covid thingy dies down :D
I understand. I'm in "austere mode" until after the election. I want to see what happens from now to the end of the year.
I have one. I sometimes accidentally hit it off the wall or door and I swear I would see a huge dent or scratch...nope nothing. I don't babysit it and it never let me down.
Very true! These Marathon watches are triple tough and never let you down.
Fantastic watch! How much does the Gsar weigh?
41mm version is 116 grams.
@@saleendriver yes sir! thank you!
You're welcome.
I’d hardly call this watch beefy. These things are great but they wear extremely small. Most people return them because they don’t realize how small they are till they arrive.
Some do.....some don't......
What exactly makes these "search and rescue" watches?
Might be marketing. But since Marathon builds watches for several military organizations, and many of those folks are involved in SAR activities; I guess that's where the name is derived.
@@saleendriver Thank you for the reply and thank you for posting this video. After watching, I am going to purchase my first Marathon. I have been eyeing this one up for a while now.
My 3 Marathons have been some of the best and most solid watches I own. I 1000% recommend them to anyone and everyone.
How did you get the YAMAM version? I'm from Israel, I didn't know the owners are Jews lol, that's amazing.
Well, I'm picking the 36mm quartz one, my first quality analog watch, very excited.
Thank you for this video.
I got the YAMAM version with help from Marc at Long Island Watch. Glad you enjoyed the video. I love this watch.
@@saleendriver Ohhh
I'm actually buying the watch from Marc!
Good to hear.
Enjoy them all......ALL the watches!
this size was offered decades before jsar us military never used by military I was issued more than one over a navy career
Well if this watch was never issued to the US Military then that might be something to take up with Marathon, since they state they provide watches to various military agencies.
T100 or T25 tritium?
Isotope H3 is the only info I can find on it.
T25
