“Since it did cost me $12.95 to return the watch I thought I was justified in leaving a review. I was so excited when this watch was available after being sold out for months. So I ordered one and was so impressed with the watch design, lumen, build quality but two things surely disappointed me. Those hands, the paint on the hands looks uneven due to the lumen cavity not being filled in properly. The second was the hour markers, they looked almost grey and didn't match the black hands as if it needed a second coat of paint.
Simple fix, painted rectangular flat hands and applied hour markers you will have had a real winner.”
“Received my order in 4 days, quick, shipping. The Islander is a wonderful dive watch for the money. I love the white dial with black hands. Easy to read night or day when you have old eyes.
This is my 4th watch from Islander Watch. Each order has been without a problem. Great place to buy a watch.”
“Love the watch. Recieved a few compliments already. Long island watch is a great site. Packages arrived timely. My go to website for great affordable watches”
“Excellent crown and bezel action, bracelet is well done, and the polished chapter ring reflects that luminous dial. Outstanding watch. Great value for money.”
“Always wanted a nice white dial but everyone I ever tried one, I could never see the hands very well as they were usually white with thin outline. But this one has the black hands, very easy to see in daylight or night. Well done Marc!”
“I did have a bit of trouble with the movement when I first attempted to get it wound and going; not sure what the issue was as I’ve never had that happen to an automatic before. After several times engaging and disengaging the crown in all positions, it seemed to be fine after that.
Very solid and well-made. This has quickly become one of the favorites in my collection. The materials and workmanship are top-notch and I can see this Islander being in my collection for decades to come!”
“I have wanted a lume dial for a while and have separately been interested in the new islander watches. I have a skx009 that I like very much, so this being the slightly different samurai style was a plus for me.
This watch is an excellent, tool diver. It hits almost all the check boxes. The lume is bright and evenly applied, ceramic bezel looks great, overall great fit and finish. The simple logo and dial markings make for a very clean appearance. The engraving on the caseback and crown looked shallow/etched online, but is actually relatively deep. Quality bracelet and the screw link adjustment is nice. I am right in between sizes, so an extra micro-adjustment would be great.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Islander has lots of styles and I would be confident to recommend any of them that interest you. This won’t be my last one.”
