“I love the watch. It has some higher end features that are executed pretty decently without the exorbitant price tag. The only changes I will be making are an engineer bracelet and a coin edge bezel. Now, if I could only convince Mark to make one in the same shade of dark blue that’s used on the Pepsi Islander’s dial with a twelve hour ceramic bezel time match...I’d be over the moon! I highly recommend purchasing this watch to add to your collection, or at least as your first diver if you’re just starting out. The customer service is top notch as well.”
“I have yet to receive my order (Seoul, Korea), but I am anxiously awaiting. I will say I have dealt with longislandwatch and I can only say I am completely satisfied so far. I also get direct emails from the President, which for me, means a lot, answering questions about my order. I really do appreciate the attention you can give to customers. All the best. Will buy another longislandwatch Islander - 18 when it becomes stock along with three other bracelets. So let me know when ISL-18 is in (I'm on the waitlist)! Cheers”
“My Islander ISL-01 just arrived today and I could not be happier. Island Watch provided excellent service, answering questions I had prior to ordering. The delivery was well priced and came a day sooner than I expected.
The watch itself is beautiful, far better than the pictures even express. My only regret is that it took me this long to get my first Islander. I looked at a SKX but passed with all the talk of misaligned chapter rings and various other QC issues. I'm glad I went with the updated and upgraded vision from Marc!”
“Excellent machining, smooth operation, great looks. Not the most expensive watch I own, but certainly seems to be one of the best built. Super impressed!!!”
“My collection includes Rolex, Omega and Tag, but who wants to take that much of an investment into the gym or hiking?
I've eyeballed the Seiko SKX007 for a while. I loved the style and the economy, but I really would miss a hacking movement, a sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel. If I were to by the Seiko, I would have definitely have gone for customizations to remedy those features plus a metal strap to get it 'like I wanted it'.
I found Long Island Watch when looking for a custom shop and the ISL-01 really caught my eye. All of the features that I would have upgraded were already included on the Islander.
I'm happily wearing my new ISL-01 as I type this review. It's a great piece of craftsmanship.
I give the watch 5 stars and also Marc's service 5 stars. The watch arrived 3 days after my online order (with Fed-Ex 2-day) and I needed some special attention due to my 8-1/2" wrist and Marc tended to with extremely prompt service.”
“Is everything I wanted, all the features I required and nothing more, I'll be checking out LIW for further purchased in the future, you guys are the best.”
