“Amazed at how a date function has been of such use and then you realize you don’t get that with your latest watch. My bad. I am charging the face in direct 3:00 sun hoping the hands shine better. I cannot recommend this particular item.”
“These watches that are a collaboration between Islander and Hemel are absolutely gorgeous. This was definitely a no brainer to add to my collection of twelve Islander watches.”
“A simple yet elegant dial. The lume is great but may need a bit of help before showing off that great blue color. The case finishing is good and drilled lugs are always a treat. Movement is accurate as with any of the NH series movements.
Only issue I had was with the bracelet, the articulation was a bit subpar in my opinion. Solid end links however is a great addition. I slapped on a BluShark Navy cordura strap and my god it shines. It also looks incredible with a leather strap; the watch is a strap canvas that'll look good with anything you have.
I may have docked a star for the bracelet if it wasn't for the excellent price. If you're looking for an everyday watch, you'd be hard pressed to find a better buy. I'm having a hard time putting anything else on my wrist.”
