“I took advantage of the Memorial Day sale and choose the ISL-07 with the orange dial. Marc, you have done a phenomenal job on the orange dial. It really pops. The alignment of the day/date is outstanding as well. I have a different microbrand watch with an orange dial, and the ISL-07 is superior in color and fit and finish. I generally prefer larger watches, but this has a nice wrist presence and that orange assures its place in my watch rotation. Now, I'm saving up for the Blue-Green ISL-79, the ISL-92 and hopefully, an orange dial Islander "Monster."”
“love the watch marc. first one I've owned with a lumed bezel. used to be a seiko , orient guy but with marc's islander brand i don't even look at them any more. the watch hasn't been off my wrist since i got it a week ago. thanks marc”
“Fantastic watch. Got it on sale and I couldn't be happier. It's a great looking watch, and improves on the weaknesses of the Seiko SKX-07 (hand windable and hack function) all at a great price. Love the variety of dial, bezel and bracelet combinations.”
“Looks great in the sun, great lume, vibrant color on the dial, bracelet was super easy to size. Had two compliments on the first day i wore it!
My only reason for giving only 4 stars is the somewhat lackluster case back, now that the brand is more established I'd like to see a full embossed design instead of just a laser engraved one.
Definitely have my eye on a few others from the islander brand as well.”
“Really pleased with my new ISL-07, the orange dial really pops, more so than in the pictures. I had concerns how this would look on my 6.5 inch wrist, but it looks fine, not much difference lug to lug when compared to my SKX013. I had to size the bracelet, but the included quality screwdriver made the task simple, a nice touch there.”
“I'm really happy with the watch. The 46 mm does not wear big on my wrist and the orange face is just the shade I was hoping for. The bracelet is comfortable and does not catch the hair on my arm at all. I also really appreciate the included screwdriver to adjust the bracelet.”
“This is my second Islander (the SKX has always been a good form factor for me). This one is eye catching, certainly not a dull orange. Do your own homework but this watch is solid inside and out.”
“If you are looking for a chunky, affordable, and well made, handsome dive watch, then it's really hard to beat the Islander for the money. Not to mention, fast shipping and great service. I ordered this watch on the 27th and it was delivered on the 29th in California. Wow! Great specs, looks good, well put together. Lume is fantastic! Also very legible. The bracelet is very close to a Strapcode in quality and design. I like smaller watches, bu this chunky monkey at 42.5mm in diameter and 13.8mm thick wears much smaller than I thought it would thanks to the 46mm lug to lug. It's 6.07 ounces. Only negative is a little back play in the bezel, but no big deal. The orange is really fun and casual. It's a little safety orange and a little creamsicle orange thanks to the slight shimmer effect on the dial. Nice! Again, hard to beat for the money. This is my second Islander. The first was a 38mm.”
