The bracelet is comfortable, yet the weight and solidity of the case lends to a feeling of having something substantive on my wrist. I wear watches from 34mm to 40mm case sizes and the MSAR at 36mm is perfect for me. Best of all, it's 'tool watch' and milspec nature means that I don't have to worry about baby it like other swiss watches. Bonus, it's such an interesting design and brand that it's a great conversation starter. BUILT LIKE A BANK VAULT Dennis Okerstrom on Feb 16, 2022 A beautiful and rugged watch; the case is strong as a bank vault and the white dial is striking. A curious blend of toughness and fashion. The 36 mm size is exactly right for those of us with smaller wrists, and the style is retro cool--totally clean, functional, and reliable. The Swiss automatic movement keeps superlative time, which is after all the primary function of any watch. Rated to 1000 feet but I won't be diving anywhere close to that depth. Nice to know that I could, however. A first-rate timepiece that is almost too nice to call a tool watch! AMAZING Tyler on Sep 11, 2021 I was worried that the watch was going to be too thick, but it is perfect! HASN’T LEFT MY WRIST Jon Pearson on Sep 07, 2021 From my first point of contact with an incredibly helpful, professional and friendly customer service representative named Justin to wearing this stellar timepiece continuously for the past 10 days, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The watch is tough as nails and functions impeccably. Marathon is an outstanding company that delivers top notch service and products. A+ I'M IN LOVE WITH A WATCH Robert on Jun 01, 2021 I remember reading the review on Hodinkee for the Arctic MSAR and enjoying the idea of taking a watch out on a road trip and outdoor adventure to write a review. Cole, the author, was clearly impressed, and gushed a little, but also dug deep and pointed out a lot of the details that make this 36mm tool watch so impressive. My overall impression it's tough, considered, and cool, and wears bigger than you'd think. Very happy camper here. Designed in Canada ~ Made in Switzerland
