Well done Will! I should have tried that this past weekend when the temperature reached -17 or -33 Celsius with wind factor!!! I'm sure it would have survived that too!:D Marathon are great watches but I think we would be surprised to see that many watches would resist that kind of cold, even cheap watches, will have to try...
Thanks Dany! Yes I believe also that a bunch of good water tight automatics would have made it alive through a similar test.
The question is: Would have they clear it with only 2 seconds +/- difference in 24 hours?
Somes would have, somes would not...
Others would maybe had some inside condensation to freeze the mechanism at some point and stop the watch...
I made this test out of curiosity, but also to prove that a watch can be very reliable even it's cost is reasonnable...
But as I said: You can cross the north Pole with your watch on your wrist, under your jacket's sleeve and it would never suffer the cold as hard as mine did;)
Or you would have to be dead frozen...:D
