“I am extremely happy with the Islander watch. The upgrades over the SKX series now have me wearing the Islander almost daily. The only compliant I have (which is the reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars) is that I did not receive the advertised 5% first time buyer discount as the Islander was my first purchase from Long Island Watch.”
“I do enjoy this watch as it runs about -4 sec. a day. My new watch is very comfortable on my wrist. The lume is bright and lasting. The design, I think, is great and more than anyone should ask for at this price.
I do think the crown is a little overprotected as it’s somewhat difficult for me to get a grip on it to screw in or out. But I don’t mind it at all.
Overall, the watch is fantastic.
Great job, Mark. You definitely One-Upped Seiko.”
“I rarely do reviews. Many times I enjoy the research that goes into purchasing a product as much if not more than the purchase itself. I watched many videos from Mark and found those on point and educational. So I chose the ISL-01. I have 9 in wrist so I emailed LIW and asked about how many links I would need. I received my watch very quickly after purchase online. They did everything they said they would do plus it’s a great product. I will definitely buy from Mark again.”
“Great watch. Very happy I bought it. Love the style, the lume, strap, everything. If I had to find one fault it would be the bezel movement. Keep the great watches coming and thanks for your wonderful educational videos!”
“Mark , my compliments. My watch collection is relatively large, actually too large. But i still love it. Everyone claims that a Seiko SKX cannot be missing from the collection. That annoyed me terribly. Bcoz I liked the model but the timepiece in it was worthless. That is why I have always resisted purchasing one. Until the moment that Seiko decided to stop producing the SKX models and you very conveniently jumped in immediately to hijack the model and make it a much better version. .. a great watch as standard a sapphire glass, ceramic bezel with lumination. crewd pins Seiko NH36A movement (+ 5 seconds each day). In other words a SKX for me but far better. And ... for a very reasonable price ... I can't say anything negative with regarding the ISL-01 I purchased. Immediately after your presentation, seiko came up with the King turtle with similar qualities ... (I did buy it by the way) but it's very coincidental. So Mark ... You did a great job and .. I, JC thank you for that.”
