What the reviewers say
Published reviews from around the web
“It’s the real thing, still doing the thing. And while this unit is headed back to Marathon soon, I wouldn’t be surprised if another one makes its way into my collection. It’s just too simple and too satisfying.”
Recommended
“Marathon assigned this new material to a professional-destined watch which it equipped with an array of holistic specifications which make it ready for the battlefield and overly prepared for civilians’ daily routines.”
