Today I will have another episode of unboxing and brief review video and I'll be presenting the marathon travel alarm clock. And I'd like to mention that this is not a paid or affiliated review. So everything was purchased with my own money and there's no affiliated link. So the opinions are totally honest and unbiased. Now before I start I'd like to talk a little bit about the marathon watch company. So marathon watch company actually is a Canadian watch company and which mainly makes government and army watches throughout the globe. And for example this watch company actually supplied in 1941 the manufactured watches for the Allied forces and also the manufactured watches for the first in the first Gulf War for the US Army and also they supply watches for the US Marine Corps, NASA and the Canadian Armed Forces and various other armed forces and governments throughout the world. So they only make very good quality Army grade watches and they are based in Canada and I would feel comfortable having a product from them knowing that this is going to work and this is not going to give me any trouble. Now you may want to ask why there is a need for travel alarm clock when everyone has a cell phone with them and then they can just use their cell phone or whenever you go to a hotel there is a hotel alarm clock there. And the reason I would always keep my own travel alarm clock because I wouldn't trust the hotel alarm clock whether you are staying at Hilton or Marriott or you are staying at a cheap hotel. It's the same everywhere. The clock they give you is very low quality and usually they are very dirty never properly cleaned and I wouldn't rely on them. Let's say I have a flight in the morning and I wouldn't just rely on the hotel alarm clock to whip me up and to go to the airport. And also in terms of alarm clock on cell phone which is a good thing but you are dealing with a few different things when you are in a foreign country. One of them is that you don't know the exact time because you are in a different time zone so the watch might dysfunction and it happened to me in the past that sometimes the alarm clock on my watch just didn't work. There's no reason no nothing. It simply didn't turn on and I missed the alarm. But usually I always have two sets of alarm set so even if I miss one then I have another one. So for those reasons I wouldn't just rely on hotel alarm clock and my cell phone alarm clock. And also whenever you are buying an alarm clock keep in mind that do not buy a cheap alarm clock which is going to go out of work after like one month or two months. So buy something from a reputable company and also be careful about the battery the watch uses because most of the cheap alarm clock are even expensive alarm clocks. They use coin size battery for example CR2032 or other coin size batteries. Those are expensive to replace and usually hard to find as well. So buy something which runs on regular double layer triple layer battery and you're going to have things easier in the future if you need to change your watch battery. So that's all about that. Now let's start with unboxing. So we're going to look at the package and see some of the features we have here. So here's the alarm clock and it has super glow screen and it's got calendar and temperature as well. And it has 12-24 hour format, snooze button, temperature and calendar which was just mentioned here. And on here let's see what we have. So you can actually rotate 180 degree and it falls into a convenient compact unit which I like. And then some other features we have here is that two inch jumbo display. One touch glow display, a snooze alarm repeats every five minutes and display time 12 to 14-24 hour format. Displays date and month and temperature. You have the option of higher Celsius and flip cover and triple layer battery which I was just referring before that always go with triple layer or double layer battery. Okay, so let's open the box. Hopefully I'll not need a scissor or a knife. Okay, so it looks like we have packaging here. So here is the alarm clock and let's take a look what's in here. Okay, so it looks like they included the battery and then the box is empty. I'll set it aside here. Okay, so here let's take a look here. Okay, so these are the basic instructions. I'll return it on or how to set the alarm clock. Okay, so which I don't need to go through. And on the other side it looks like it's in French. I'll just set this aside here. And what we have here is Marathon since 1939. So that I've been making watches which are mainly military and government grades watches since 1939. Okay, so here they are giving some other alarm clocks made by the same company Marathon. So it looks like they have lots of alarm clocks which even I didn't know. They look something very simple and handy one which is the one I just bought. But they have lots of other options as well. And on this side, okay, so let's see what we have. More watches. Okay, so they have lots of watches to choose from. I'll set it aside here and let's look at our watch. Okay, I take it out here, put it in here. Okay, so this is very lightweight. That's the thing I like. You're gonna put it in your carry-on luggage and you're gonna feel that you have something there. And here's the Marathon watch, a model number. And let's open it. Okay, so I believe it should be this way. Okay, so we have it, we have the clock here. And another thing, everything is in front. You know all the settings. So everything in front which is a very good feature. Some of the alarm clocks, mainly which are cheap alarm clocks, you buy everything in the back and it's very hard to set because you cannot see in the front and the back at the same time. But I like having everything in front. And let's see if I can rotate this. Okay, so here is the feature. Okay. So when you rotate it, then it just, you know, come this way. And you can stand it like this. But when you don't rotate it, you can keep it this way as well. Okay. So I guess rotating just gives you better visibility in terms of looking at the alarm clock because you're just looking at the alarm clock here without the base or stand. But when you're not rotating, just looking at the whole thing. So you might not want to look at this. I guess that's the purpose of the rotation, which I'm not sure I'm just guessing. Okay, so here are some of the buttons. And let's take a look here. Turn clockwise to open, turn counterclockwise to close. Okay. So I have a feeling this one looks like the battery chamber. So if we check it out and Max XL battery. Actually the battery they gave is not cheap either. So which I like. Usually if you buy an alarm clock, they, you know, insert very cheap battery which runs away after one month. But this one looks okay. So put it in here and just close it. And I think there's a protective screen or cover. Let's see if I can take this out. Okay. Okay. Actually I don't have nail. So I kind of take this out to show you. Okay. Okay. So I was able to take it out. Okay. Here. Once I take it out, put it here. Okay. So once I entered the battery, looks like it started working, but with a time is 12. And let's try the glow button, super glow. So if you press it here, because there is a sunlight outside, you cannot see that much. But if you press it here, you can see a little bit that, you know, it's glowing. Who should be good enough at night? I'm just giving the base reset temperature, which are not correct because it's 12 o'clock, 1, 1, Thursday or Tuesday, temperature is 25.5. So it looks like these are not correct. So I'm not going to go through all the settings and stuff. So basically this is what I wanted to show you. It shouldn't be that complicated to set everything. It shouldn't take that long. And this is a very good travel companion. Or even if you want to just keep it next to your pillow or on night stand when you sleep, should be good for that as well. So that concludes the marathon travel alarm clock. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. And there will be more videos coming up. Thank you.
