I also have a JSAR. The Marathon stainless bracelet really completes that watch IMO.

For quality, Marathon > Luminox easily.

Yeah I figured if it was good enough for NAVY Seals it was good enough to wear around on the weekends



That is more marketing than reality (and I own a Luminox SEALS watch).

I wouldn't even notice it

I don't like how scratched up the bezel on my luminox gets though, I'd prefer the marathon for a metal case. I beat the shite out of my daily watch though

I have two. Bought one of their higher priced models and the store owner gave me one of the Seal watches for half price. Had them for 10-years+ with no problems.

I think I answered this the other day. They are too new to actually have one. They are Detroit made and trying to bring the company back by making shite like watches and bicycles. I'm not going to buy one but their stuff isn't terrible by any means.

I do not believe the majority of Seals wear a Suunto Core. Sorry I just don't

Luminox is only a licenced Stocker & Yale copy. If you want the same look, check out the Swiss Tawatec

I own one. I wear it as my everyday watch unless I'm getting dressed up. Fantastic watch for the price. Has the look and the durability of a pricier piece. I have only had to replace the battery once and the rubber strap on mine once in 7 years. Go for it.

This is my FAF, daily watch..



If I ever drown in 3000ft of water, at least the watch will survive.

I don't have the bracelet. But the rubber strap smells like vanilla. No shite

Im not a fan of Suunto, nor do I want or own one, but coincidentally the only certified Navy Seal that I know from around here does happen to wear a suunto watch.
