“My third Islander. Wow. You're getting a watch comprised of the components of a watch twice the price. Aesthetically pleasing, too. Keep up the great work!”
“An amazing watch with incredible value for the price, a true seiko killer! An SKX009 for half the price and better specs, this won’t disappoint

“The ISL-19 that I purchased far exceeded my expectations. The case, end links, and bracelet all fit wonderfully. The dial and bezel insert are simple and well finished. The lume is great, very bright and long lasting. The bezel alignment is spot on with no play. Sizing of the bracelet is a breeze with the screw in links and the included jewelers screwdriver. This may be the best watch for the money on the market today. If you like the SKX then you will love the ISl-19!”
“I have been wearing the ISL-19 for five days. It is excellent. I'd never used screwed links before. They were so easy to remove and replace for for bracelet adjustment!
The lume is amazing both on the bezel and the dial. It glows visibly even in a lit room, and is still glowing if I wake up in the night. This watch looked great online, but it is gorgeous in person. It got three compliments the first day I wore it. Thank you, Marc, for an outstanding product.”
“This with punches way above its weight! The fit, finish, and features of a watch costing far more.
I bought the Islander for the price: I needed a beater that I wouldn't mind getting scratched. My go-to daily wear is a GMT Master II in SS and gold and I dislike risking it when I'm working on my boat. The Islander, however, is far too nice to be thought of as a beater.
Since I've had it, I have worn it more than any of my other watches. It feels solid and looks great. The lumen is brighter than any other watch I own
This watch will make you re-think the relationship between price and quality.”
“I was looking for an SKX-007. One bought online auction couldn't keep time for more than 2 hours, and the rest were at pricing that didn't make sense. The ISL-19 improves on the SKX shortcomings and delivers on total quality. I've been wearing it daily. Love price vs quality of the ISL. Beautiful and quality piece.”
“Good polish, chapter ring lines up, bezel has pretty good action with little back play. I own 3 or 4 islanders and they're just A+ every time. They quality to price ratio is fantastic. They come in a humble square box, which is fine with me because it looks like that extra packaging costs went right back into the watch. Well done - highly recommended.”
