“I got this watch as a supplement to my beloved Seiko SKX013, and when I received it, had an very minor cosmetic issue.
I reached out to Marc and he had a new one at my door just 3 days later. The new one is absolutely perfect and Marc stands by his product.
I couldn't recommend them enough.”
“I've had mine for a couple weeks now, love it!
I wanted a smaller version of my Seiko skx175 in the skx 013. I went with the Islander instead because of the upgraded movement, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Great watch for the money and highly recommend it!
Micro adjustments on bracelet are a bonus as well.”
“Great watch, period. However, the only let down is the watch was about 20 seconds off a day, which is nothing outside normal for 4R36 really, but I would definitely appreciate it if it comes regulated from the factory.”
“Just got it today and sized it to my 6.5 inch wrist. I know in most reviews people have said the Islander watches look better in person than the pictures online. I have to agree.. It's true! It really looks better in person than the pictures. The 38mm was a little smaller than I expected. In a good way. This watch is very solid and well put together with all the bells and whistles. I'm very pleased. Everything about this watch is class. I will be wearing this on the daily for sure.
Thank You Marc”
“Just got my watch today. I'm glad I got the 38mm. While my wrist could easily handle the larger, my taste is for the smaller, but wanted 40mm. The 38 is awesome and I am sure I prefer it over a 40mm dive watch. It's my first dive watch and am pleased. I took out two links on the bracelet, the micro adjust is maxxed and it fits perfect.
Thanks Marc, it's a great watch. After the newness is over I'm thinking I'll still like it more than my Alpinist. It just feels so good on the wrist and so much more legible.”
“I’ve owned a lot of watches from every price range and none have blown me away quite like this ISL-20. I was expecting an upgraded SKX, but this thing feels way more solid. The build quality is outstanding and the value for money is astonishing! I almost bought a second one immediately ;) Thanks, Marc, for bringing this outstanding piece to the market!”
