Unboxing & Review: Marathon TSAR Military Spec Quartz Dive/SAR Watch 

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.

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.

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 RU-vid’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 both liked and subbed to your channel. This is my next 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 !

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.

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.

Cool watch

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.

Do a prediction for conference winners updated every week that would be awesome with the CFP ones too and playoff eliminator

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.

that 46mm watch was enormous.

👍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

im making a tough decision between JSAR and TSAR. May i know what is your wrist size please?

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.

Fantastic watch! How much does the Gsar weigh?

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.

What exactly makes these "search and rescue" watches?

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.

this size was offered decades before jsar us military never used by military I was issued more than one over a navy career

T100 or T25 tritium?
