“Nice product, executed well. was hoping it was going to be a little more like the original. Still well done, beautiful watch. I think the original was about 42 mm, with so much going on in this dial a larger size helps to make it more legible. I think this one's 41, would have liked more of a domed sapphire, maybe cost was a factor. I know this sounds gripy, overall I'm satisfied. I think I would have liked a black version similar to the original a little better.
This is my first islander watch. Love to support US based business.

“I've been waiting for the Calverton for a long time and it does not disappoint. The blue with yellow markings is outstanding and it is very Navy Blue Angels-ish. I also like the sapphire crystal, sword hands and the indices. Islander has nailed the modern Flightmaster. Now we need a contest for the design of a specific caseback, my idea is a Control Tower with the Islander Logo and a F-14 Tomcat silhouette.”
“This is a lovely watch. The case and dial look very nice. I appreciate the movement (I hate the VK6x series of movements, so this movement is very welcome), the screw in push buttons and the bracelet
The print on the bezels is really small - especially for my old eyes. I can barely see the direction markers on the bezel And the grip and resistance on the bezel makes it inconvenient to use.
The clasp feels very jangly when not on the wrist, I may replace it with something more solid, although I do appreciate all the micro adjust holes - everyone should be able to get a perfect fit.
This is an above average watch and definitely a step above the usual Alixpress fare. Plus you get the excellent Long island watch standing behind your purchase.”
“I did not get into watches before the Seiko Flightmaster was discontinued so I missed my chance to purchase one of those at a reasonable price. When I saw that Long Island Watch was releasing an Islander with all of the upgrades that we want (Sapphire crystal, 20mm lug width, screw adjustable watch bracelet) I knew I had to have one.
The blue face was a perfect fit for my collection. I wear it several times a week after work and I have already gotten a few compliments and folks asking me about it and about Islander. It fits perfectly on my 7 1/4 inch wrist and isn't too thick for a loose cuff to fit over it. Marc and Long Island Watch hit this one out of the park.”
