“Excellent fit and finish. If you size your own bracelets as I do you will appreciate the inclusion of screws instead of pins making it so much easier. Marc even includes a complimentary screw driver. Solid end links seal the deal. I havad previously purchased an Islander bracelet for my Seiko Turtle which is also excellent. I would not hesitate to purchase any Islander bracelet. Excellent value.”
“Shipping took roughly 3 weeks to the UK, which was fine given the current pandemic and it was over the festive period. Communication was clear from the team and the product itself is pretty good for the price.
The bracelet feels a little rough at first but smoothes out after a few days, the end links are solid and fit the case perfectly. The clasp isn't super high end but definitely better than a lot of others I've tried at this price range. What I really like about this bracelet is that despite being solid, it isn't too heavy or thick.
By only two complaints is that the end links extend out quite a lot and there are no half links with only 3 adjustment holes in the clasp. Now, my wrists expand and contract a lot in a typical day so it's always tricky finding a good fit with a bracelet and with this watch my perfect size would be achieved with either a half link or a couple more adjustment holes in the clasp. Otherwise it's a great buy for the money”
“Very good quality bracelet....certainly better than the hollow Seiko bracelet that is OEM on the Seiko 5 Sport watches. Good price and fast shipping too. Recommended.”
“This bracelet is way better then the one that comes with the watch as Seiko did really cheap job on it.
The shopping experience was great and the shipping took 3 weeks (to Israel).
The Islander bracelet is great and fits the watch perfectly and gives the watch a more expansive feel. With that said, few small cons:
- One of the end link feels a bit coarse (like it wasn't brushed as needed)
- the second lock of the clasp (the little metal thingy) feels very loose and a bit cheap (and makes the bracelet a bit "noisy")
- a bit pricey for what you get (although I would buy it again)
Bottom line - if you have this watch, it's a must buy.”
“I've tried this bracelet and a bracelet from Strapcode on my SRPE/DresSKX, and frankly I like the Long Island Watch bracelet the best. The thinner links and narrower taper toward the clasp really balance this watch out perfectly and make it very comfortable to wear.
The Strapcode brand bracelet has thicker and wider links and a fully machined clasp, but to me it is just a little too bulky for this watch. I feel like the style of the Strapcode bracelet's construction is better suited to a diver with a heavier watch head and the Long Island Watch is better suited to this watch, especially if you're wearing it with buttoned cuffs. It's all a matter of taste.
My only criticism is that aesthetic transition from the end-link to the first link is a little aesthetically awkward to my eye. I think the end link could stand to be tapered a little more toward the transition to make to make the transition seem smoother.
