Canadian tool watch brand Marathon offers some of the most genuinely no-nonsense military watches out there. The brand actually still produces timepieces designed under military specification, and it shows in the their watches’ rugged construction and unpretentious designs. Normally well-priced to begin with, Marathon is offering 20% off their watches site-wide for Valentines Day now through February 14th. Marathon watches are also typically decked out with bright, perpetually luminous tritium gas tubes that will shine in those dimly lit situations, whether tactical or romantical. With a range of styles and prices, both mechanical and quartz, you can forgo the expected chocolate-and-flowers cliche for the tough guy or tough gal in your life.
