“My ISL-15 and ISL-16 order showed up today. They look even better in person! What I wasn’t expecting was the really durable but stylish leather straps, these are going to last quite a while.
BTW, ordered on Thursday, arrived on Monday... USPS is express enough for me, I’d rather have free shipping!”
“I've always wanted to get myself a type B flight watch. I'm glad I waited for the Islander!!! Punches Way above its weight! Don't think about it, just get it!!!”
“Love this watch! It is exactly what I was expecting and the lume is great. It's very nice to get a watch with so many quality of life features (AR coated sapphire, signed crown, workhorse movement, etc...) that sets it above the big name brands at this price point. Thanks Marc!”
“Great dial, great case dimensions, great crystal, great lume. Leather band is stiff and needs time to break in. But there's an issue that bugs me to no end. The hands! I know Islander is putting their own spin on this style but, the hands drive me crazy.
I would have loved if the hands were blued, or at least faked. But that's minor. What really makes me question my purchase is the size of the hour hand. It is distracting and leads to false reads. I didn't think it would bother me as much as it has. But that's the crazy thing about design language. The hands point to what you're supposed to read. In this case, it doesn't.
This watch would have been my five stars, everyday'er if not for the hour hand. Shame. Everything else is on point.”
“Looks great, dial is sterile, excellent lume, screw down crown, hacks, solid, excellent workmanship. No complaints EXCEPT they should have left off the date window or in the very least have gone with a black date dial. The date is visually incongruous with a the flieger dial. Its like a large, hairy facial mole. I still love the watch but I'd love it more, a lot more, if it didn't have a date.”
“The watch is beautiful! It has been my work watch for a couple of months now. It wears well on my wrist. The accuracy is great (minus 3 seconds a day)! The price and service can't be beat. I prefer field watches but this has become my favorite watch.”
