“I believe I bought the last one as it said out of stock after my sale. I don't think they're going to make this model again, which is a shame because it is a very nice watch. A 9075 true GMT in an attractive package. I especially liked the color of blue they used on the dial and bezel, in some lights almost black. Islander watch as a whole is a good company, headed by an even better business owner.”
“I have been following Long Island Watch for years, but never pulled the trigger on an Islander watch. The Republic checked all the boxes for me and I picked one up. I can say it lives up to all of my expectations!
While the watch is really fantastic, my decision to write a review was secured in my after-purchase exchange with customer service. When I got the watch, there was a manufacturing defect with the lume on one of the numerals. Very minor, not noticeable during the day, but only half the digit illuminated in the dark. I messaged customer service asking if it was intentional or a defect.
Customer service made no excuses, identified the watch as defective, and shipped me a replacement with postage for the exchange. I was speechless. A great watch backed by an even better company, they’ve got my business for life.”
“After almost a year of ownership I came back here to write this. This watch is fantastic and an amazing value. It’s great looking and keeps better time than my Longines Spirit Zulu. Don’t tell Marc but he could charge 3x as much for it.”
“This is a great watch and it's affordable too. the GMT functionality takes a little to get familiar with, but it works really well. I really like the bracelet and dial, and appreciate the screwdriver that comes with the watch to change links. I just wish it came in a 42 MM dial. Definitely recommend it.”
“The watch is beautiful and very functional, It wears very well on my 6 3/4" wrist. Would have given it five stars if the gmt arrow had been lumed; otherwise the lume is fantastic. This is my third Islander watch, and I believe it is the best one yet.”
“I was very pleased overall. It’s very easy to set as per the online instructions. The ability to track 3 separate time zones is extremely useful. I’m especially pleased with the adjustability of the bracelet; my wrist seems to change size during the day and the sliding clasp works perfectly. The only disappointment I have is that, unlike as described in the features, the GMT hand is NOT lumed (at least mine isn’t). So that feature is not available at night unless the dial is illuminated by external light. Overall, it is a great watch with a great movement, and for a lower price than I have seen anywhere else.”
