“I purchased this as a "scratch and dent" piece but the imperfections are so minor as to be almost unnoticeable to the naked eye, so I really feel like I was given a fantastic deal. Watch was shipped quickly.
I am not a watch collector, but I do like to have a "daily driver" that I feel proud of, and the Orient Brazen I've had for the past year has started feeling a little small.
I wanted a diver, and I feel the cream face of this Mako XL unique and very functional in it's lume. The bracelet feels sturdy, the time has seemed to be keeping pretty well, and overall I am very satisfied.
Island Watch seems to be able to come very close to Amazon for watch prices and is able to beat it with deals like these - will be purchasing from them again.”
“I am so glad to have been turned on to this one. It's by far the most luminous watch I own and I love it. Very easy to tell time in darkness and during day. The dial rotates easily and it's just as easy to change over from the bracelet to a NATO strap and back. Love that it's automatic and easy to set. Ordered a vintages bond strap and excited for That! But a beautiful and functional watch and I'd definitely order another orient from here again!”
“This watch is very solid, but I have two concerns. After several weeks it seems to be losing 30 seconds/day, which is more than I anticipated. I am used to quartz accuracy, but got tired of the battery hassle.
If you are buying the luminous model for improved night reading, get a blue or black one. As the dial is luminous, and the hands are luminous, there is not enough contrast and the glow doesn't last so long. That said, the dial is very nice to the eye.
This watch is heavy. While I am sure it can handle the rigors of golf, it is heavy enough to effect your swing.”
