“Other than being too small, even on my super skinny wrist, it's a great watch. Has hand winding and hacking (second hand stops when you pull the crown out) and it's reasonably accurate so far.”
“I've had my Islander for 3 wks now and I love it!
It looks great, wears great, and accuracy over time is great( better than I expected ). I've had many compliments on how good looking this watch is. I do wish, however, the SuperLuminova was a bit brighter, tho. Having said all this, you've hit a home run, Marc!”
“I couldn't resist the premise: a 38 mm watch that was low key, had great glass and a ceramic bezel. Tried and replaced the metal bands with a rotation of Barton Rubber straps and they fit perfectly and look grate. The watch wears so well on the wrist and you begin to appreciate the little details that make this watch so enjoyable. Good accuracy (fast about 8 secs per day) and I like that it 'doesn't scream'. Seiko movement reliability, solid build, rotating bezel that's not wobbly, and much more.
The ultra thin Blancpain, JaegerLeCoultre, and the stainless Rolex date all sit idle...it's crazy.
Keep these 38 mm styles coming Mark!”
“I have been a collector for over twenty five years.
I have never been one to jump on in house brands which Mark has created for Island Watch
I am GLAD that I did. I have always liked watches in the 38-42mm range. They work better for me and smaller pieces have an elegance to them.
I have to appreciate the attention to detail
brushed case finish, ceramic bezel with no play, a jubilee bracelet with screws a clean dial with very nice lume, excellent balance on the wrist and drilled lugs, all of this being done at a great price. Any watch manufacturer would be hard pressed to produce this quality of watch for $299
SKX lovers will flock to these watches. What they will find is that when they buy these they have just traded up.
Thank Island Watch

“The ISL-20 was received on time via USPS and was in excellent condition. This 38mm Islander is a bit small for my wrist but I decided to add it to my collection. It is an excellent value for the money for anyone preferring a smaller watch.”
