“Very high quality piece for the price; very satisfied with looks & performance. NATO strap a bit awkward, should maybe offer rubber option. Easy on-line purchase; will likely be back.”
“I had been researching a good, yet affordable dive watch for probably a month and a half when I finally came across the Islander. I’m all about supporting smaller businesses and being from the North East initially was all about helping Long Island Watch out After reading some other reviews decided to pull the trigger. Needles to say, it was a great decision. The quality of the watch is unreal to me for only $300. Like a lot of the videos on it State. It’s like the Seiko SKX we all wanted to be made without having to go through the somewhat expensive upgrades ourself. The only gripe I have for the ISL-04 is that I wish it came on a bracelet. But that is a personal preference and an easy fix.”
“The watch good for the most part. The NH36 movement runs reliably at +6 to 7 s/d, and the dial and crystal are beautiful. I like the look of the Islander logo, and the signed crown is always a nice touch.
There is, however, a cause for concern as there is a rather deep blemish on the underside of one of the lugs. It's not a scratch, but a fairly crisp cut that looks almost as if there was an accident while machining the case. It's not entirely noticeably when the watch is on wrist, and it doesn't really affect the structural integrity of the lug, but it does make me question how the flaw got through Island Watch's QA check. I did not return it because I was happy with the watch overall, but I can't help but feel I got lucky that there aren't any more major issues.
I believe a watch that has a case blemish like this should be discounted. Otherwise, the watch is nice and I enjoy wearing it.”
“I bought ISL-04 because I liked the brushed silver chapter ring. That, with the embossed bezel insert looks amazing. This is my second ISL diver and won't be my last. Excellent watch for the price. Marc really answered the calling for an SKX replacement.”
“My original order process was great. Watch arrived fast and it was a very nice piece. I found it to be a little to small for my 7.5” wrist. I returned the item back and it was a very smooth and easy transaction. I placed a 2nd order with Long Island watch and went with the Seiko Samurai great white edition. Wow! What beautiful watch. I’m very satisfied and happy with my purchase and with LIW. I plan on making my future watch purchases with LIW. You got a happy customer for life...”
“Great looking watch. Bought for my son's birthday and he loves it. I really like it as well, just a little red on the seconds hand gives it a nice touch. Wish we could put a red seconds hand on the blue yacht master look alike.”
“The video sold me. The sparkle sold me. The seat belt strap is a perfect match for this watch. Elegant and fun to wear. Other straps are also gorgeous on this watch. A soft spoken gem at LI Watch.”
