Review on πŸ”’ High-performance Stainless Non-Magnetic Ballistic Military MARATHON by John Cox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only single pass watch strap I could find

I wanted a simple one piece watch strap and here it is. Why is this style so hard to find? Unlike NATO straps, this style only goes between the watch and wrist once, so it doesn't add extra thickness and doesn't have the array of foreign metal clasps and extra folds that NATO straps have. I have a nylon strap from my father's old military watch that is at least 50 years old and is exactly the same. Simple, straightforward and well built. I think NATO straps are overkill, but that's about all the others do. I hope Marathon continues to create this style. Most colors and sizes were sold out. In the photo: Above is a black Marathon 22mm strap, below is an old 16mm strap from my father's military watch. This is the style I was looking for and only Marathon seems to have it.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative gift
