“ISL-28: part turtle, part samurai, all Dawn Gray. Marc has taken a gorgeous design and made it better than the LE versions which are hard to find now and going for 3x the price. Stunning dial, great lumed bezel insert and just the right amount of orange "Dawn" pop. And how about that beefy hexad bracelet? Just a perfect upgrade that takes the whole thing over the top. Bottom line: It's really a great looking watch with tons of presence and a total spec monster. Lucky to score it on Black Friday which made a great deal almost too good to be true. Love it almost as much as the Red October! Thanks, Marc.”

“Great build quality, better then the Samurai in every regard except name recognition. I didn't expect to like the lumed bezel all that much... but seeing it in person, I've loved it since the first glow and now I want lumed bezels on all my dive watches. My only complaint is that the clasp isn't finished the greatest, its near perfect but imo could still use some fine refinement as I found some of the clasp edges to be sharp and uncomfortable well wearing. also the SKX bezel is slightly smaller then the stock samurai bezel so it changes the watches proportions a bit but its a worthwhile trade off to be able to use bezel mod options. Received hassle free shipping to Canada, with no additional border fees. Overall would purchase again and would highly recommend to friends & family.”

“This watch is stunning. The looks, fit and finish are really good. This is my 2nd Islander watch and I'm sure there will be more in the future. Shipping was very fast and packaging was great.”

“The dial has a beautiful silver sunburst effect and the pop of orange on the bezel and second hand compliment it. The AR coating on the crystal is fantastic. It's almost impossible to find an angle where there is any glare. The sapphire lumed bezel looks great and the action is very good. Mine is running at about -5 seconds, which is excellent for this price. The drilled lugs and screw links are welcome features. A couple of minor complaints are the sharp edges on the case and inner links of the bracelet, only 3 holes of micro adjust and so-so lume. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and it's always a pleasure to do business with IslandWatch.”

“This is my first Islander, I have several dive watches and this is by far my favorite. Ordered at start of Black Friday sale standard shipping, it was delivered on Monday. I have purchased a few watches from Island Watch they always provide great service.”
