“This is a great “bang-for-the-buck” option in the automatic watch world. Reliable Seiko movement (and GMT at that!), high level of water resistance w/ a screw-down crown and case back, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel insert, metal-framed six o’clock date window, unique waffle dial, and a solid link/end link jubilee-style bracelet w/ on-the-fly clasp adjustment. This is not the first watch I’ve purchased from Marc and team at LIW, but it’s my first Islander branded watch. I’m happy w/ the purchase and feel that I’ll enjoy it for years to come.”
“Great watch with features only available on more expensive watches and never all together. Beautiful face, easy to adjust the bracelet solid performance”
“I was looking at Seiko Flagship models for comparison and, with a less robust sapphire glass, were asking far more than the Islander equivalent! Most Micro-adjustment bracelets are apart of expensive, thousand+ dollar pieces; However, they were able to attach it to a watch that cost less than $400. The designer language on the dial, with the date window located at the 6 hour mark, especially considering there is no cyclops class located on the 3 o’clock side, makes the whole face look clean! The functionality has been great to use and also explaining to my friends that aren’t as aware of watches as me has been fun. Also Mark created a solid logo…and I think there will more watches in my collection that share that logo :) 10/10”
