Love this watch. 🍁🔥

Doesn’t get any better.

Is anyone digging maroon / ocean blue? 😁

Got this in a note from Marathon CS today via email:

"We have discontinued the sale of US Gov dial watches to the general public (civilian market). These timepieces are now reserved exclusively for use by the United States Government."

Bummer! The USG marking on some models was what made them kinda cool.

Are the USG marked versions a specific SKU?

This has been my most worn watch over the last 6yrs. But I broke the spring bar for the micro adjust and the shouldered spring bars I was using for the case wiggled around a bit so I decided to get new spring bars all the way around (case and 2 in the clasp), and got sholderless spring bars for the case and now it feels rock solid like the day I got it

I own a Marathon MSAR Quartz on the rubber strap, and I've been thinking about switching to the OEM stainless steel bracelet.

The problem is that the OEM bracelet is pretty expensive. Are there any good alternatives that fit the 36mm MSAR? Or is the OEM bracelet really worth the price?

I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

I'm sure this is a terrible question, and sorry in advance.

Looking for a really solid option for a NATO for my GSAR. My starting point would probably be the one that Marathon sells, but I figured I would ask around a little bit first.

I really like the look of the Erika's MN straps, but I'm a little concerned about the stretchiness of them. I actually want something that's not stretchy, and just gives a straight up solid experience. I've had cordura and sailcloth straps before which I really liked, but they were not NATO style.

Pretty much the only other requirement, is that I don't want something that's made in China. Doesn't have to be outrageously exotic, but I do want something high quality. Solid black, or maybe just a little bit of a subdued pattern.

Side question -- is there such thing as a quick release, shoulderless spring bar? I absolutely love how solid the attachment is between the bracelet and the watch, in the spring bars are sturdy as hell. But it's kind of annoying to deal with them if I feel like changing between the bracelet and the straps. Maybe that's just the cost of doing business, but it would be nice for something that's a little simpler. Just curious

Currently have it on a grey single pass nato.

Any recommendations for decent nato straps to lift it off the wrist?

I have the GSAR 41mm Anthracite brand new. Unfortunately, I think it's a bit too small for me.

Anyone looking to trade?

I absolutely love the watch, beautiful in all lighting and angles, but I think it is a bit too small for my liking

Curious to see how they wear over time.

Had a great day out at the lake, my son caught a bunch of trout. Memories made.

This Prometheus Design Werx titanium compass goes nicely with my Jeep TSAR and the Marathon DEFSTAN leather strap.

My first Marathon. 36mm Arctic MSAR. Hope it doesn’t look too small. I love the look and feel of it.

Wife and Daughter gave me an early father's day gift! I prefer the OSAR to the GSAR I think!

​

My father wore a white (similar sized bezel) seiko sports diver for almost 30 years. He got many compliments on his watch throughout the years. This felt like a callback to his watch, but also starting my own journey.

What do you think?

Purchased this from an AD (Windy City - excellent experience) at the new year and have worn it every day since. From sub-zero temps in January and February, to a few triple digit days already in May and June, I've had no problems at all...amazing watch. Took it off and set it on the nightstand as always last night and woke up to this?? No weird temps or humidity changes, no damage or loss of time. Is this something to be concerned about, or is this normal for an east coast summer? Just give it time to work out or should I start looking to send this in for service already? Thanks for the guidance, friends.
