“I have watches that run the gamut from a $12 “discount store special” to a dress watch from the big Swiss fancy-watch company everyone knows. In between, I have a few diver style Seiko watches from Long Island Watch. They all keep great time, have bezels that rotate one way and stay where one positions them, and the glow-in-the-dark lume is strong. I usually charge up any of those Seikos under the bed-side lamp and can easily read time throughout the night. This Islander brand watch has all those positive features, but has the novelty of having the lume on the entire face of the dial. Wow! Very glowy overnight. Easy to read the time at a glance. Even the bezel insert has lume— and not just a pip at 0/12 o’clock position but the numbers and all the hashes in between. White face and solid black hands provide excellent readability during the day as well. While I have no objection to color, that white face offers versatility— from having rugged outdoor fun around the water to more formal situations. The bracelet is bushed finished and is made up of smaller faceted links that should stand up well to the inevitable minor scratches and dings all bracelets suffer over time. It’s easy to set time/day/date. This watch is well worth your consideration and I do not think you will be disappointed in the least!”
