Marathon JSAR

[Tiger Tim]

Thinking about buy a Marathon JSAR. Has anyone had a Marathon? Thoughts about quality and fit?

I'm interested in these too - are you looking auto or quartz?

There's plenty of reviews around that seem mostly positive. They seem well made and decent value.

Some reviews here:

Quartz actually. I need something I can pick up and not wonder if it's the right time, needs winding etc. I have a G-Shock Riseman for knocking about it so a daily that I don't worry about that's going to take a scuff and knock and look good with it.

Thanks for the links. I'll take a look.

I have the CSAR. Use it as my everyday watch and it gets a fair amount of rough treatment and after 2yrs, you wouldnt know.

Build quality is up there with the best in relation to robustness, however if you are after a watch that looks pretty, look elsewhere. It is very much a function over form type of watch.
I love mine, have no intention of replacing it with anything else. All I need now is a dress watch that is appropriate on those rare occasions, when wearing a brink on your wrist is inappropriate

Here's a demo of my GSAR: http://youtu.be/yJf0wCQtzBY

It gets the most wear of any of my watches.
