“Another amazing Black Friday sale & another stunning Islander added! The Calabro caught my eye previously & am thoroughly impressed with its' quality & beauty. Solidly built & feature packed, this watch will get LOTS of use! In addition, the Long Island sales process is streamlined & efficient & I received the watch well ahead of schedule. Many, many thanks!”
“The watch is great. My favorite thing about this watch is the proportions. The world time bezel and dial are appropriately sized for a realistic reading of 2 timezones. And the tribute to the Seiko pogue is a very nice touch. The bracelet is top tier. You can really feel quality in Islander watches. That's why I keep coming back for more.”
“The Calabro ISL-191 suffers from a very bad lume. Normally that would not be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that the watch's HR/MIN hands do not have enough contrast with the dial; meaning you can't read the time in most common scenarios. I took the watch to a Florida beach's direct sunlight and also placed in on the cars dashboard (so it could get direct sunlight exposure): nothing, did not even activate the lume. Now, the lume is activated by a flashlight placed over the watch but does not last more than a minute. So, my assumption is that the lume on this watch is not sensitive to normal sunlight, which renders the watch unreadable (yes, I can read the SECS and GMT hands, because the red contrasts with the gold) on very normal and common scenarios. It is a shame, because it is a great looking watch and I fully appreciate the value and creativity brought by Long Island Watches ... not on this watch.”
“I saw the colorway in a GMT format and had to have it. Fantastic first purchase from LIW, and fantastic product. It hits well above its weight class from the finishing to the bracelet. Would absolutely recommend LIW and their products!”
