We take an in-depth look at the legendary and historical Marathon Watch Co's Government Search and Rescue (GSAR) Divers that is built for US Military members in Iraq and Afghanistan. The GSAR in 41mm has a luxurious and premium feel that we may not expect from a watch with its intended purposes.

Marathon puts out phenomenal watches. Ever since I was in the Marine Corps, I have been wearing Marathon. Semper Fi 🇺🇲

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hey, Greg. That’s a great story and congrats on your Sempler. Sounds like it’s holding up like a champ. 💪

@edwinthomas618 2 года назад

Awesome...Sir. I love my Contract 2001 SAR. thank you for your service

@tc6578 3 года назад

I had picked up my GSAR almost three years ago and it has been running flawlessly between +0.5 and +2.0 s/d. Oh, by the way, the clasp on the bracelet still function perfectly.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hi, TC. Congrats on your GSAR. It’s such an awesome all-purpose watch. It also looks sharp while dressed up. I absolutely adore it. 🙌

@blueshirtbuddah1665 3 года назад

What a fantastic watch! I have looked at Marathon for a very long time but have never pulled the trigger, this one just might make it into my collection. Great review as always Rich!

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hey, BSB. You can’t go wrong with a Marathon. The Arctic White also looks fantastic. Have a great weekend, brother. 🤙

@OFD 3 года назад

Tough watch!! Awesome review Rich😎👍

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Great to see ya, Aron. Thanks man. 🤙🍻

@Rich-ki5ow 3 года назад

I'll never look at movie exit signs the same. That arctic white dial is awesome and will definitely take a look brother. Great video and love the authentic history of Marathon.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

I echo this, sans the movie theatre exit sign, Rich. Thanks man. 🤙

@strannostrannovasrr 3 года назад

It's on my list. Great watch.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Good to see ya, Stranno. It should be on everyone’s list. 😀🤙

@Adrian_999 Год назад

How much does the watch weigh with the steel bracelet?

@dorinkish9761 Год назад

Anyone knows what is the deal with some TSARs without date of manufacture or serial numbers on the caseback? I have one that supposedly was military issued in Iraq around 2006. Thanks

@JohnSmith-vd6fc 3 года назад

Nice watch. A field watch dial with a dive watch bezel. Good combo.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

I think so too, John. 👌

@stephenwells3185 3 года назад

Rich your 41mm option is great but 36 is definitely interesting in the white. Thanks for that thoughtful explanation about tritium tubes. Who knew about movie theater signs using the same tritium tubes. It’s a crowded market in the price range and marathon earned their stars. Great job. 👍👍👍

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hi, Stephen. Yeah the Arctic White is great I like the red seconds hand. And thanks, brother. 🤙

@seabiscuit726142 Год назад

Movie theater signs are Neon tubes, not Tritium.

@TexpatOTG 3 года назад

I always liked Marathon. That one is a chunk, but a great looking one. Big fan of tritium markers too. Great show Rich

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Ahh yes I adore tritium lume. Stay cool and drink lots of those fancy coffee drinks. Thanks, James. ☕️

@tomlee4540 3 года назад

Marathon watches are in a league of their own. I own their Navigator no date. Your divers is absolutely on my list, I just don’t know if it will be the black or white. Great video my boy Rich. 👍

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Nice dilemma to have; either black or white. Congrats on your Navigator and thanks, Tom. ✊🏼

@CCitis Год назад

My next watch. Rugged but also stylish and timeless.

@whatsonthewrist Год назад

Exactly, Jeremy.

@chkochko3871 3 года назад

That's what I call a real tool watch for every day,I'll take the white dial but a little to big for my wrist, great review Richard 👍

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Yeah the Arctic dial is sharp. Thanks, chko. 🍻🤙

@marc7983 Год назад

They wear small, don’t feel big at all. Try one on if you get a chance.

@chkochko3871 Год назад

@@marc7983 thanks for the info, I will 👍

@degenerateWA 2 года назад

Had the 36mm and it was too small; the height to diameter ratio looked silly. I've got the 41mm coming in on Monday and I think this one will be just right. I still think the bracelet is criminally overpriced.

@whatsonthewrist 2 года назад

@ Simucom Reviews. The 41 has great presence. I think you’ll like it. Congrats in advance.

If you think “if it’s good enough for the military it’s good enough for me” you don’t know the military standard 😂

@deanomachino9947 3 года назад

Nice review. What wrist size do you have? How did it fit? Trying to decide between this and the MSAR.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hi, Deano. My wrist size is about 6.5”. I am enjoying the fit. Both models are nice, if I recall the MSAR is available in 36mm. Let me know which one you decide on. The quality is excellent.

@deanomachino9947 3 года назад

@@whatsonthewrist yes i have the same wrist size but was abit worried about the bulk. I normally wear a gshock ga110. Would you say size wise would be on par? excluding weight obviously.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

@Deano. I’m not sure on the dimensions for the ga110. It’s certainly not a thin watch but I really like its presence and comfort of the GSAR.

@bradquan7170 3 года назад

Hi Just adding my 2 cents... I have a 7" wrist and went with the 41mm. I feel the watch looks and wears smaller than my other 41mm watches.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

@Brad. I might agree.

@haloepic3092 3 года назад

Does the Tsar comes with a boxes .

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Yes, Halo. A box is included with the GSAR and all watches.

@AeternumAngel 3 года назад

Nice brand, but what's the deal with the "deeep dish pizza" construction concept, does this have any use or purpose? Any idea Ritchie boy?.

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Not sure but I dig it, brother. Actually the case and bezel are under 14mm if I recall. So really maybe more so for aesthetics. 🤙

@NN-gw7qc 2 года назад

Eternal….deep dish to make room for tritium tubes on hands and dial

@whatsonthewrist 2 года назад

I believe that’s correct, Nick.

@NN-gw7qc Год назад

Also taller because the thicker bezel which makes it easy to use with gloves on

@idid1866 3 года назад

Good stuff...1st btw💪

@idid1866 3 года назад

I would have grabbed a second one from Marathon if I didn't have to purchase a new AC unit, lol! So I wound-up spending Rolex money, anyway...just my luck!😆

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hey, iDid. How’s your new General Purpose model? Yikes about the AC cost. ✊🏼

@idid1866 3 года назад

@@whatsonthewrist Very good...I've had a few people interested in buying one! Tbh, I knew I'd be replacing that AC...It was over 20yrs. old!

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

@iDid. If it’s not a simple matter of needing Freon, then yeah the cost is a yikes. But at least your Marathon is holding up. 😜

@praetor47 3 года назад

this has been on my list ever since i got into watches years ago.... for when i get a bigger wrist :D unfortunately, a bit too chunky for my skinny 16cm wrist :/

@whatsonthewrist 3 года назад

Hi, praetor47. It’s a truly fantastic watch but I understand how you must feel. My wrist size is 6.5” for reference.

@praetor47 3 года назад

@@whatsonthewrist yeah, i know :) i used to have a MM300 which is even thicker, but it wears a bit thinner as about 2mm of the total thickness are "hidden in the meat of the wrist" ;D this one wears the full 14 because of the flat caseback i don't get why the Medium quartz is nearly 2mm thinner than the mechanical, but the TSAR is the same thickness as the GSAR :/
