“I haven't looked everywhere, but to get a titanium watch, full titanium bracelet and automatic for thud price!! It's really hard to beat. Quality is good too. I'm sure it will still be just a good years from now.”
“I saw this watch on a video by Marc and have been waiting for it to come back in stock for a few months. It is an amazing watch for the price, the dial is stunning with strong lume. The titanium matte finish is superb and crown screw down is smooth.
My only issue is the bezel action which sounds tinny, but I don’t use the bezel anyways !”
“If you are a Seiko fan, this watch is like a totally upgraded SKX007, with the exception of the bezel action which sounds like a Studio Ghibli steampunk mechanism (ie like a normal Seiko). Also note the colourway is more light grey than the images you see online. Overall, it's roughly Seiko prices, form factor and compatibility, but better in almost every way.”
“In a time where prices are skyrocketing and value is plummeting Marc and his team provide great price and even better value. His team has an eye for design. This will be my fourth islander watch and more than likely not my last. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-quality watch that doesn’t compromise on style or performance, Islander is a fantastic choice; Marc and his team have nailed it every time!”
“As I loved the colours on this Sands Point as soon as it was released, I had to grab it upon re-release and it has quickly become my most favourite Islander to date. While this watch is running a little slow at -18 seconds (all my other Islanders are extremely accurate), it does not detract from an excellent watch at the price.
It is so light that I have to check that I am in fact wearing a watch. The watch stays perfectly in place and does not move around as most larger stainless watches tend to do on my wrist. The rubber strap is outstanding - It is the only rubber strap that I own that does not cause an irritation on my wrist. I did not have to trim the strap as it fits my 7.5" wrist perfectly on the smallest setting. I am still to try it on the bracelet. I am so happy with this watch that I have not taken it off once since receiving it (My Omega, Squale and Tudor watches are taking a break).
Customer service and delivery to Canada were exemplary, as always. In order to avoid Canada Post strikes and delays, the extra fee for express delivery is well worth it. Many, many thanks to Marc and his team at LIW!”
“Managed to snag this when it got restocked mid August. International Shipping on the cheapest option took less than 2 weeks. Pleasantly surprised at the weight of the watch. The accompanying titanium bracelet also arrived in perfect condition.
It really is a no-brainer at this price. Titanium watch, titanium bracelet and fitted FKM strap. The repeating whale tail dial also looks quite nice, and looks like repeating chevrons from afar.”
