“Been a watch collector for many, many years.
After hearing that they discontinued the SKX, thought I'd give this a try as it met the build.
The watch itself is decent quality. The bezel is great, the sapphire is clean and desirable. It keeps....ok time.
The watch itself, in its entirety, is so heavy. Like, practical joke heavy. I'm used to wearing 42, 44, and even 45mm watches, but this thing has serious heft to an uncomfortable degree. I tried to wear it at home, and at work, and it is distracting how much it pushes uncomfortably on the wrist. I adjusted the band multiple times, but nothing helped. The 'O' bracelet is not the best quality or build. It's bulky and somewhat awkward, and almost sticky on the skin. I tried to clean it, but it pulls badly.
The screw threads on the bracelet are...different. I unscrewed multiple links and had to use a pair of tweezers to extract the screw the rest of the way as they got consistently stuck on each link.”
“An incredible product at an incredible price, from a fantastic vendor. I absolutely recommend Long Island Watches to anybody for any watch needs! Major brands, quick delivery!”
“The aesthetics and craftsmanship of the ISL-27 are just spot on. The watch just boasts a balance of strength, style and refinement. The supplied bracelet could not be a better match. However to take my beloved Islander to that next level I added a Strapcode divers extension clasp.”
“As soon as this watch was available I decided to order it as an early birthday gift. The watch looks even better in person. Very sturdy. The only negative comment I have is that the dual time bezel has no spring in order to have a bidirectional movement. It doesn't have much resistance and sometimes moves around triggering my OCD. It would be nice if it had a bit more resistance but again this is a minor issue. I would rate the watch 9.8/10 because of this. Otherwise really satisfied with the purchase.”
