Marathon GPM (General Purpose Mechanical) Watch Review

As an everyday watch with a mechanical movement, the Marathon GPM field watch may be one of the best designed and wearing tool watches from a utilitarian perspective The Marathon GPM Field watch is an updated version of their original 1980s military issue field watch which was contracted by the US Government, the GG-W-113 Prior to the GPM being released, Marathon released a version of its field watch as a GPQ, which has a fibershell case, ETA F06 quartz movement, and drilled lugs.

The new GPM gets an update and uses gas tubes instead of just the tritium application, and while Marathon isn't the only brand to use this type of lume, the execution on this watch looks clean and legible during the day, and especially during the night If you're a fan of 2 piece straps, deployants, or bracelets, you'll need to look elsewhere or get custom pieces made as the watch case has drilled lugs and bars I'm a wear-a-watch-to-do-almost-everything type of watch enthusiast and the Marathon GPM checked off a lot of my watch ownership requirements.
