“Outstanding time piece. I am amazed with the fit and finish of this watch. Marc and his team or producing high quality watches. This will not be the last one I purchase.”
“With lock downs and lack of usual routines during this past year, I was struggling to keep track of what day it was. Additionally, work hours being all over the place, I was losing track of the time in our European office. I had day date watches and I had GMT watches, but nothing that did it all.
Then came Marc to the rescue with the Islander 01!
I give this watch no quarter. Working at the computer, reaching into engine compartments, doing yardwork, hiking, camping, and even the occasional in person meeting are all handled with aplomb. With the sapphire glass and ceramic bezel insert protecting the whole top surface, the watch still looks new after months of abuse.
It is my most worn watch.
I had two concerns before buying
1. Blue tint on the sapphire - in all the pictures I saw, the watch had a blueish tint on the glass, but in person it's not there at all. It looks clear as can be and is very legible.
2. I have skin sensitivity to certain metals - I reached out to Marc about the materials in the watch. He answered right away with the details, and I'm happy to say that the watch and bracelet don't bother me at all.
I cannot recommend this watch enough. It does it all.”
“This is a great looking watch! To be honest, I was hoping the bracelet was going to be a strapcode or something of similar quality, but still it's a great deal! Have already had two or three comments from people when I'm wearing it! Keep up the good work Marc!!”
“First purchase from LIW about 1.5 years ago. Excellent quality and still one of my favorite watches to wear on a regular basis. I've upgraded it with the milled clasp from LIW to improve it even more. Strongly recommended!!”
“I am blown away by your Islander-01 watch. I had read and watched a number of reviews that were very promising. I had to wait two weeks due to the FedEx delay in shipments. However, when I received the watch, it's just amazing!!!. It is literally my new favorite watch and of course got it in the ocean yesterday. I live in Hawaii . I own a number of high and watches in this thing just rocks don't even hesitate to buy one. I think I will be adding a few more to my collection very soon!”
“After 9 months of owning it, I have to say that the quality of this watch is incredible for the price. It looks and feels amazing and is surprisingly accurate! Less than a minute off after weeks of wear. My only complaint is that the bezel is brutally difficult to turn. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with my purchase!”
“This is the new SKX Seiko should have offered. It is a 200 meter dive watch, and has the classic SKX case design, but it has all of the improvements we wanted! Upgrades like an improved Seiko NH36 automatic movement with hacking and handwinding, a Marine Master style dial with applied and brightly lumed indices, ceramic 12 hour bezel bezel with fully lumed numbers and markers, and a sapphire crystal. The watch comes on a bracelet with solid endlinks, solid links with screwed in pins, and a milled clasp, a signed screwdown crown and an engraved screwdown caseback. Frankly, if Seiko offered a watch like this, with this level of specifications, they would retail it for twice what Mark sells it for!”
