My Marathon TSAR is back home in Canada getting refreshed. I can't wait for it to be done; it's my favorite watch.

How often do you get that done? I bought one last year based I think on your recommendation, if I’m not wearing my Phoenix6, I’m wearing my marathon.

I have an iWatch. It is a lot of really cool
features, including a walk-in-talkie type one and the ability to make calls.

But if I’m honest, the feature I use most is the “make my phone beep because I don’t remember where I set it down” one.

The walkie-talkie feature works awesome. My girl and I have been using it alot.

It's the first time, actually. I've replaced the battery before, but the tritium is dead so it needs a new dial. hands, etc.

The flashlight on the Garmin Phoenix 7 might be the greatest innovation in utility watches known to man!

The one on the Apple Ultra II is pretty badass as well. Adjustable brightness with the crown, pretty standard I believe on any kind of this type. I really like the red light. As well as the light has a lot more brightness at max setting.

It’s back from its vacation in the Great White North.

Love it, that NATO strap too.

I couldn’t help it, was offered a stupid deal on a new Marathon Pilot CSAR and had to take it; I’ll likely sell my JDD to pay for it!

I like the orange strap, but I’ll probably put the metal one back on at some point.

What’s wrong with an orange strap?



Jedi approves of orange.

Now, that TSAR combined with right place/right time enabled me to meet the president and AVP of Marathon Watch Co. at SHOT Show.

As it turns out, not only are the prez and I from the same neighborhood, but we went to the same elementary and high schools.

Serendipity is a motherfucker, right?
