“Beautiful timepiece. It is not come across as a knock off of any one Cartier model per se. I would say it draws design inspirations from the tortue, but with the blue hands and it's own style of guilloche. The lume makes it move away from a cartier dress watch but it's a nice detail and matches well with the blue hands.
The easy replacement strap design helps and I upgraded this with a navy blue croc finish strap from Amazon - That really did the trick. It looks very classy and formal. I wanted a beater watch so I could give my YG Pasha sea timer and my SS panthere a break every now and then. This fits the slot nicely without looking a budget watch. I also like the fact that it's an automatic and that it has no date complication. The case sounds hollow and you can hear the springs but I dont plan to wear it on my ear, so, that's a non-issue.
I got on the waiting list a couple months ago on a whim, and I am glad I did.”
“The watch is beautiful. I discovered it through WatchTok and got it for my partner, who absolutely loves it and is excited to add to his collection. The face is so detailed and we love the blue hands. The strap is a bit stiff, but he's excited to break it in or look for other strap alternatives. Great value and am continuing to shop on the site for other styles.”
“This is my first microbrand watch, while also being the first dress and automatic one. So it had a lot of boxes to check and it does it flawlessly! I ordered all the way to belgium and i had absolutely no issues. I was quoted the 12th of Feb and i already have it on the 28th of Jan.
This watch just straight up fuggs, it looks like it’s worth at least 10x the price. I absolutely love it, stunning watch.”
“Incredible value and surprisingly accurate movement. The dial, hands, and design are all so beautiful.
Amazing customer service and fast shipping, too. Will not be my last islander watch.”
“I found the Astoria watch to be truly beautiful. Its guilloché details, the color of the hands, and above all, the Islander logo positioned at six o’clock, give it a refined and distinctive character.”
