Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here Marathon SSNAV watch. It ain’t no fancy-schmancy thing, but it gets the job done, ya know?
First off, they say it’s got this “quartz movement.” I ain’t no scientist, but it means it keeps time good. Like, real good. You don’t gotta be windin’ it up all the time, which is a blessin’, ’cause I got better things to do than fiddle with a watch.
Now, some fellas, they like them automatic watches. But this here SSNAV, it’s different. It’s tough, like an old mule. They say they made it stronger, put in some kinda “protective cage” around the insides. Sounds fancy, but I guess it means it can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’. You drop it on the floor, it’ll probably be just fine. Can’t say the same for them delicate watches, I tell ya.
- Tough as nails
- Keeps good time
- Don’t need no fancy windin’
This watch, it looks a little funny, with one side bigger than the other. And that big ol’ knob on the side, they call it a “crown guard.” Looks like it could protect the watch if you bang it against somethin’. Reminds me of them tough watches soldiers wear, built for fightin’ and such. This ain’t no city-slicker watch, that’s for sure.
They got two kinds, see? One just tells the time, and the other one, it tells ya the date too. That’s the SSNAV-D, they call it. First time they ever put a date thingy on a Steel Navigator, so I hear. Handy, I guess, if you forget what day it is. But me, I just look at the calendar on the wall.
They made some changes to this watch, made it better than the old ones, they say. I ain’t seen the old ones, but this one feels solid. Like it’ll last a good long while. Ain’t nothin’ worse than buyin’ somethin’ that breaks on ya right away, ya know?
Some folks ask, “Is Marathon a fancy watch brand?” Well, I don’t know about fancy. It ain’t got no diamonds or gold on it. But it’s a good watch. A reliable watch. A watch you can wear every day and not worry about it. That’s what matters to me.
It’s a 41mm watch, they say. Means it’s a good size, not too big, not too small. Fits on my wrist just fine. I ain’t got no big ol’ man hands, but it still looks good. And the numbers are easy to read, which is important when you gettin’ old like me.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch that’s tough and dependable, this Marathon SSNAV might be just the ticket. It ain’t gonna win ya no beauty contests, but it’ll tell ya the time, and that’s what a watch is supposed to do, right? Don’t need no fancy stuff, just somethin’ that works. That’s what I always say.
And the price? Well, it ain’t cheap, but it ain’t gonna break the bank neither. You get what you pay for, they say. And with this watch, you’re gettin’ somethin’ that’ll last. Somethin’ you can rely on. Somethin’ that’s as tough as an old boot.
I ain’t got no time for them watches that need constant attention. This Marathon SSNAV is like a good ol’ truck- dependable and tough. That’s what I like about it. It ain’t tryin to be nothin’ fancy, just does its job, and does it well.
So there ya have it. My two cents on the Marathon SSNAV. It ain’t a watch for everyone, but if you want somethin’ that’ll go the distance, it’s worth a look. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
