“This has become my new everyday go-to with raised sapphire crystal. Paired with a rubber strap this baby has wrist presence. My one sticking point is the misalignment of the bezel insert and the hands. This is my second Islander with misaligned hands and bezels. As you can imagine they're only off by a fraction of a millimeter. The bezel is barely noticeable but the minute hand is off by half a minute and only noticable when hour hand reaches 12. Overall incredible value and will continue to add Islanders to my collection.”
“Excellent watch for the price. I have many watches in my collection.,including upmarket brands. It blends in well in my watch cases. Good work long islander watches.

“The ISL-04 ended up being the perfect fit for my 40th Birthday gift! I love the hands, black dial, silver chapter ring and the bezel. I’m not fond of traditional SKX hands as well as the font of the regular bezel. The strap took a little time to break in but then it softened. I did end up getting a Strapcode bracelet and transformed the watch to exactly what I wanted. I’m not sure if the bezel rotation could be smoother, but I understand this was built to a price point. Plus as the late Carl Ruiz would say, “The watch has great lecture-ability”. Concerning it’s a Islander from Long Island Watch.”
“A longtime viewer on Youtube, I had no idea just how nice these pieces are when held in the hand and seen with one's own eyes. The value for the cost is excellent, the finish exceeds what Seiko ever offered and the service from LIW is beyond reproach. If you're on the fence buy one, you won't regret it.”
