“This is an amazing watch! Classic size, legible at a glance, no fills or thrills. It does what it’s supposed to do, tells the time and very well at that! It has an outstanding finish And I just love it!”
“This was my 3rd islander in about a month. After opening it and wearing it I knew it was a winner. The only problem is finding time for the other watches. I've always wanted an explorer but was nervous investing that money when I'm used to 40-42 mm cases. Now I know I love 36mm but really don't need to invest any further. This watch checks off my boxes. And great customer service and super simple buying process.”
“The pictures don’t do it justice. Looks awesome in person. Scratches my Explorer itch. Truly a go anywhere, do anything watch. You can’t go wrong with Islander. Great price and all the features you could want.”
“The Manhasset is an excellent watch for the money. The watch is incredibly well designed and looks fantastic on the wrist. I love the balanced and symmetrical dial and greatly appreciate that it does not have a date complication. The bracelet is very comfortable—negative end links make the watch feel like it melts on to your wrist—and resizing was easy thanks to the screwdriver they included with my order (great bonus). Overall, I’m incredibly happy with the purchase and would recommend buying from LIW without hesitation.
Why 4 stars and not 5? I have one major issue with the watch: you can’t use it with a nato strap. I purchased this watch hoping it could be my new GADA watch. I do a lot of hiking and prefer to switch my watch to a nato strap for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, the spring bars are positioned VERY close to the case and I could not get any of my natos to fit. If you don’t care about switching out straps this won’t matter, but for me it was a major drawback. While I absolutely love the Manhasset, I’m back on the hunt for a new GADA watch.”
“Had it about 5 days now and can’t find anything wrong with it. I normally wear larger watches around 40-45mm but this is a nice change of pace. I was looking for something a little bit fancier than the watches I currently rotate through but am not the type of person that could pull off a full blown dress watch. I also like the watch this one takes its design cues from but am not in the right tax bracket to acquire it so this is a solid choice for me.”
