“I don't know how anyone can beat the specs with a different brand without spending significantly more. This will be my son's first watch excluding apple. I'm already searching for what to buy for myself.”
“Love this thing since I got it. Military vibes with a day/date function at this price point is unheard of. Lume is super legible as well. If I had only one suggestion: if the case was in bronze I would call this watch perfect. Either way, great watch.”
“For the price this watch seems to be performing quite well. It’s early, as I’ve only owned the watch for about a month, but so far it is performing as I would expect. It loses about one minute per week for a total of approximately four minutes per month. I would consider that acceptable for an entry-level priced automatic watch. The lume is better than I had hoped or anticipated. It glows well enough that in the middle of the night I can still make out the time. On the flipside, it’s not obnoxiously bright in the middle of the night.
The only suggestion I would have would be to delineate slightly different shades of certain markings so that the watch face is not overly busy. That would be the one constructive criticism that I would give to the design team. From a functionality standpoint, I am very well pleased with this product!”
“I’ve wanted an automatic field watch for years but forgot about it when Apple Watches came out. I wore a citizen eco drive for years before that. I decided I wanted to go back to having a normal watch and disconnect a little bit. This watch is beautiful and hasn’t left my wrist in almost a week since receiving it! I love that I don’t have to take it off to shower or swim and that it keeps excellent time. The crystal is gorgeous and pictures really do not do the clarity justice. The lume is also awesome and lasts all night and even into the morning! It seems very well built and is going to be on my arm for many years to come. I also couldn’t help it and had to order the ISL17 after receiving this because I love that design too.”
“Islander has done it again; their watches are exceptional regardless of the model. For my birthday, I selected the Day-T field watch in black, and I'm impressed with the watch case's coating. I highly recommend them. Outstanding work from a remarkable watch company.”
