“Overall a very well made watch, doing that Swiss Made on the dial justice, just a few gripes......the Lume on the hands fades far to quickly for my liking, but this isn't a dive watch it's a GMT so I figured that's not as important. The snap clasp really should be more substantial and with security pushers with the safety clasp...it is an expensive watch after all. Timekeeping is good it's a +2 SPD with a good adjustment from the manufacturers, I was pleased to see that on my Timegrapher Squale have regulated the movement in the same way as I do my own watches (if the movement allows) so I didn't need to do anything but enjoy my new watch makes a change for me. The bracelet is nice and comfortable, however all the screws pins was lose on my one, after I resized I used purple locktite on the threads.”
“Couldn't be happier with the watch, movement is spot on (average about 1 second deviation on the first day).
Bezel moves freely with no play. I've purchased 7 watches in the past 12 months and this feels like the best value.”
“Received the watch a couple of weeks ago. Delivery was right on time. Watch is beautiful and keeps time great: +/- 2 second a day! My Rolex Oyster isn't even that accurate. This will be my everyday watch from now on. Manual winding is silent so I didn't think it was doing anything at first. I let it wind down and then manually round it just to make sure it was working. It also weighs less than it looks. I also have a titanium Citizen Eco-drive and its also the same weight ( I did remove 5 links from the Squale). This will be a keeper!”
“It’s kind of perfect. Its proportioned really well. It looks way better in person than online or in videos. I saw some YouTuber say that it was kind of thick watch, but it isn’t. It’s actually much thinner on the wrist than an Invicta Pro Diver which has nearly identical case specs (and you’ve probably worn one so it’s a good reference). Since it’s all black and comes on a bracelet (unlike most Squales) you can literally wear this anywhere and it’ll look appropriate. And it’s really well made so it’ll feel appropriate too. Don’t worry about it being homage-y. The hands are different and they don’t even make all black GMT Masters anymore, so it doesn’t count.”
“I got my first watch and it wouldn't start. I got in touch with Mark and he got back to me on a Friday at 9 pm. He shipped me a new watch immediately with return shipping. Unfortunately the new watch was 4 seconds fast a minute. Mark sent me a shipping label to return the watch, and refunded me the money. The watch was beautiful. The service was great. Unfortunately the Squales were not QC'd. Thanks Mark for taking care of things so easily.”
“Great looking watch with excellent design details and case finishing. The ceramic bezel is deeply etched and well made. Handset is clean and legible--a nice change from the Mercedes hands. The jubilee bracelet is very comfortable and easy to adjust. The watch sits nicely on the wrist.
Watch arrived quickly, with good packaging. Island Watch is great to work with--would order from them again.”
