On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic highly for its robust build and excellent legibility as a tool watch, despite its substantial size.

The watch is frequently cited as offering impressive detailing and a striking, masculine design for its price point, with some owners finding the angular, faceted case design a pleasing and fresh standout feature. Reviewers note the watch's solid and reliable build, and its lume is considered exceptionally bright by some owners. One reviewer mentions that the double-domed sapphire crystal can cause reflections, and another points out that some may find the case edges sharp due to precise machining.
