“I am very happy with this watch. I specially like it because of my vision is not as good as it used to be. I hope that you will keep on making affordable watches with all the extras that watch fanatics like, hacking, hand winding, sapphire crystals, screw down crown etc etc. The only thing bad is not really that bad I know it happens. It is that I did found a hair about 1/8 inch in size even a little smaller than that inside the back of the watch, it was stuck to the crystal. It is something that you can only see with a magnifying glass. But like I was saying it is not a big deal it is just constructive criticism I still love you watches and your youtube channel, perhaps in the future I will buy another watch from you they are truly great quality.”

“The watch itself is nice. Looks good and has great features at reasonable price. However, the strap is awful. It is very stiff and uncomfortable. The holes do not line up well for my 6.75" wrist. Best feature of the strap is that it is quick release so that it can be easily replaced.”

“I already have enough dive watches in my collection and not being a diver, I have no use for the bezel. I wanted to add a waterproof field watch with a white dial and now I'm glad I didn't spring for the Hamilton. This one is perfect as it has every feature I was looking for, sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, exhibition case back. The dial is very easy to read and I am especially happy with the minute hand that extends over the minute indices making it very easy to set the time exactly. I'm not one to expect super accuracy from a budget mechanical watch but I got lucky with this one. It keeps better time than any other watch in my collection, including my one luxurywatch. I also like the size, a welcome change from all my 40mm plus watches. The strap is very well made. The only problem I have is with the choice of color for the white dial watch. I put a Strapcode Hexad style bracelet on mine and it looks and wears great. Great watch at an even better price.”

“My first watch, did a lot of research going in. Finally pulled the trigger on this one. I really like it, and have gotten a lot of compliments in just a couple of weeks. Big fan of the color of the luminescence and the simplistic design. Feels nice when wearing it, not too heavy. Only complaint I actually have is that the leather band is a little stiff. It's loosened up a little with wear. And the lume, while it looks great when fully charged, doesn't seem to last very long. It's a great watch and highly recommended besides, especially for a smaller 6.25" wrist like mine. If necessary, I would definitely buy from longislandwatch in the future.”

“In my opinion, this field watch is better than the Hamilton Khaki field watch I used to own. Sure, it doesn't have a "Swiss" movement but I don't really care. What sold me on this watch was its water resistance, its sapphire crystal, its lug-to-lug width and its reliable Seiko movement. Not to mention that Mark and company make an amazing watch. I've been wearing mine non-stop since it arrived. I swapped out the strap with a silicone Barton strap for comfort. This watch wears great on my 7" wrist. I don't realize I'm wearing it most of the time. And the lume is on par with any Seiko diver. Again, this is a ton of watch for a little money.”

“I love the watch but the case was scratched on side at 0100. It is for work so I did not want to return it.”

“I had to have this watch the minute I saw it! It's the perfect size & it's an amazing value. It has become my go-to "weekend warrior" watch. I love it!”

“I am new to watches, and starting off my watch "collection" with this beautiful automatic was a great decision. Wonderfully put together, clean and elegant, with a slight subdued look to it, I love this watch and wear it pretty much every day now. Looking forward to getting more watches soon! Thanks Marc!”
