“"Look, I happen to know how much that watch cost. It's a sixty dollar watch, you paid forty to get it fixed. That's a hundred dollars. I'm offering you two hundred!"
- Jerry Seinfeld to Uncle Leo
Been about two weeks on the wrist and it's time to give kudos where they are due; the JFK Cloud is a winner!
da Scene: Been eyeing the Islander watches for over a year, watching the ebb and flow of models and I let the ISL-276 slip through my hands... I finally pulled the trigger on this JFK Cloud and I'm glad I did; I see that the window closed!
I've been looking for daily home/pool/desk-diver pieces that pay homage to my other watches and this white dial Pepsi style was going to fill that role... but after some time with it, I see that I'll have to look elsewhere for a "beater" Pepsi. The ISL-206 is just too nice, I find myself "being careful" with it around the house and in the pool. Gonna try a rubber strap and see if I can relax with it more.
da Watch: It's a runner out of the block. Specs out the hoo-haw, a looker, and keeps me tracking 3 time zones (home in California, sister in Hawaii, and daughter in NYC)! I mean - that's a hat trick for me.
da Service: 6 business days from order to receiving, no long "pre-order" wait, almost like walking into a retail AD and coming out with your piece... without being gouged!
Keep the marketing YouTube vids going... they really wet the appetite and make decisions easy. Now that I've tried an Islander, I'll be keeping an eye out for new releases... thanks for the great stuff!”
“This is a great watch. I love its look and feel. It fits my wrist pretty well and is well built. I particularly like the white cloud dial face.
BUT - i have a small issue with the watch. I'm in my mid 50's and the hands, dial and markers are all about the same color. If i'm not wearing my glasses i cannot tell the time since all the colors blend together. That's very disappointing for me.
If you don't have this issue - i highly recommend a purchase of this watch. Its well built and a great value for the money. It's also assembled in the USA, which is gaining in importance.”
“An attractive, well sized and useful GMT watch that was at an appealing price. It was provided very promptly, regardless of living “across the pond” and beautifully packed.”
