“I was looking for a great quality watch for everyday outdoor activity - 'a beater'. G-Shock doesn't appeal too me (too big, too flashy). For the price of a good G-Shock, Island Watch gave me a Swiss watch with a reliable Swiss quartz movement, rotating bezel, tritium lum, and great design. Service/communication was better than first rate. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the Traser P6600 Mil-g model with sapphire crystal is nicer (but more expensive and not a 'beater'). Highly recommend this watch and Island Watch -”
“Perfect size for my 6.5 inch wrist , my first tritium and i am blown away by the quality of this piece , it has quickly jumped to the top of my quartz watch rotation .”
“This watch works great, I got it for the tritium illumination (particularly on the second hand) and it really works well. I have some heart issues and sometimes take my pulse at night in bed (since I have 2 artificial valves - and they're loud - I can hear the beat without any problem but I need a second hand that I can read in the dark. This watch has that. The only complaint I have with it - and this holds true for all the competition too - is that the clearly marked numerals (white on black) need illumination too )even though that would be done conventionally (super luminova) not with the tritium. Even though that illumination fades during the night it would still be helpful in orienting the watch and telling the actual time. I don't think it would cost that much more to treat the hour numerals (and the rotating bezel) this way and it would make the watch that much more useful at night.”
“It is not the first time that I order a watch at Islandwatch, the delivery is always fast, product are as described and if needed the customer service is reactive, so what's else!”
“Traser's Code Green is an excellent budget Swiss Made military field watch. The Green Tritium is sufficiently bright to read the time in complete darkness but not bright enough to give your position away (from a tactical point of view). The movement is very accurate, it has kept time with the NIST atomic clock very well. The NATO strap is sturdy and comfortable. It can withstand up to a 100 feet of water, it is not ISO diver certified, that's why I consider it a field watch. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase so much that I am contemplating buying the Traser MIL-G Type 6 P6600.41F.13.01.”
“I wanted something a little more unique than a Casio to wear while coaching baseball. I have several divers and automatics but the weight is an issue and they become uncomfortable when hitting, catching, etc.
The dial is a little smaller than I would like. I would prefer they shrink the bezel and enlarge the dial but it's not a major issue because it's very easy to read at a glance due to excellent contrast.
It's very light weight but maintains a quality feel. I like that during the day the Tritium tubes are not easily identified. The illumination is a little more subdued than I expected but after my eyes adjust it's actually crisp and clear. No complaints at all on this feature.
Great Swiss quartz watch that is a good one to add to your collection if you like military style and have an activity that needs the right tool for the job.”
