“I've never owned an SKX, but I still feel like it checks all the boxes of what an SKX would feel like, and then surpasses it. I expected the watch to be a lil' bit bigger, but I didn't fully take into account my 8" wrist. In either case, it's an excellent watch and I love it.
A few notes:
- The yellow dial has a bit of a sunburst presence that you don't really see in the pics
- The lume is great. Charges pretty easily
- Shipping was accurate and fast
- Gave me good insight of what to look for in the future
Again, excellent watch. I have really enjoyed it so far.”
“Been looking for a yellow diver for a while and I honestly think this is the best looking of all the watches I researched. The fact that you can get this for just shy of $300 is icing on the cake. The shade of yellow is just the right color and not overly saturated or loud. It is sort of a metallic canary yellow. This is my third Ilander and the quality has been consistently good. My only critique is the bezel turns too easily and could be accidentally knocked out of place. This will be my official vacation dive trip watch.”
“Have had 2 seiko 007 over the last 20 years. Last one had a yellow face that I really liked but it is discontinued. Found the Islander yellow face and love this watch, Had it 3 weeks now and has not lost a minute. Must have grabbed the last one because they were out of stock the next week. My friend saw it and also wants one.”
“Received my Islander ISL-08 Watch (yellow dial) and it looks great. Really love the weight and size of the watch. The band is also far superior than the one typically found on the Seiko version. This is a great value for $299. I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed since all of my purchases at Long Island Watch have gone smoothly and I'm a satisfied customer.”
