“First, I have to say Mark is totally awesome. I picked up the bracelet to go with the watch but it was just a bit too small. I sent an email to Mark to see if I was able to get an extra link and it arrived in the mail shortly after that. Now the watch fits perfect. Unparalleled customer service! I'll be purchasing again for sure.
The watch itself is excellent, keeps great time and has a great finish. The leather straps it comes with are perfectly fine and will use them from time to time but I wanted to add the bracelet to change it up. Definitely recommend it!”
“Bought the Squale for the thanksgiving sale, nice looking watch,wears well for my small wrist. Great prices great service as always. Been buying here for two years and I will keep buying.”
“Item received within a week in a very well packaged box. Watch is more beautiful in person than in videos, and wears smaller than other 42mm.
Made my first watch purchase very enjoyable and learned a lot from Marc. He does live up to his reputation.”
“Excellent products, website, and customer service. Reviews, videos, and pictures were spot on. If anything the pictures dont do the watch justice once received and viewed in person.
Will be purchasing more watches through Island Watch.”
“Received the watch very quickly. It is truly more beautiful in person. Watch had no protective film on the face but it did on the caseback. There were a couple of pinhole size scratches on the bezel. Not enough to go through the trouble to send back but irks me. Band did not have signed buckle. They may have switched due to higher demand. Still my favorite watch until the next one.”
“I’ve had my eye on this watch for a while and always been amazed by its looks in videos and pictures online. However, I’d never had the opportunity to see one in person so I was always a little hesitant to pull the trigger. Well, I finally did and I have to say this watch is even more amazing in person! The blue dial is absolutely stunning, the case polishing is flawless, and for a 42mm watch it is actually quite comfortable on my 6.25” wrist.
If I had to be critical of anything I would say I didn’t find the rubber strap all that appealing. Then again, I’ve never met a rubber strap I like so that really just boils down to personal preference. If you’re a fan of rubber straps, I’m pretty sure you’ll like this one — it’s very flexible and soft to the touch.
All in all a fantastic watch. I couldn’t be more pleased!”
