“This has everything you would want in a field watch: great size (40mm) and slim; highly legible; tough (sapphire crystal and quartz); the lume is pretty good; the strap is really durable and comfortable; screw down crown and back; I bought this on sale and shipment was swift, as usual with LIW. Love it.”
“I bought this watch after seeing them advertised as a close out special. Being the fan of field watches I am, I saw the specs and bought one of the Hemel Justice watches. Within a week of receiving the watch the second hand got locked up and would not budge for literally minutes. I contacted customer service with Long Island Watch and Marc himself responded (which I can't express how awesome that is as a service to the customer). He offered to reimburse me for local battery change but I opted to send to Hemel in the off chance that it was something more than a simple dead battery. It took about two weeks to send off and get the watch back but it came back in early May. A few weeks later I have noticed it is losing time AGAIN! I set it to match exact time with another watch (hacked to the exact second) and within just a few minutes it was already off behind the other watch by 20-30 seconds, which means it will be losing literally minutes every single day. If this was an auto or mechanical then I could totally understand, but with this being a quartz (an ETA movement no less) I have my serious concerns and frustrations. To be clear this is not a reflection or negative on Marc or his company at all, but I would be lying to say that I'm bummed to have a dud $200 watch less than 90 days after purchase. As an advocate for micro brands, if you're into field watches like me go for the islander or a Vaer watch. Can't recommend something that can't even be used as a beater...”
