“I was looking around for another field watch to add to my collection preferably with a blue dial (I already have beige and sand dials). I viewed Marc's YouTube review of his companies Islander Automatic Field Watch #ISL-42 and was suitably impressed with the colour of the dial, the Seiko movement and that the Arabic’s were illuminated. This piece was at a great price point (even with international shipping) so I ordered it. The piece arrived 7 days later to Australia (FedEx), and will have enormous amount of wrist time. The 39mm is such a sweet spot, the dial is better than the photographs and the lume is great. I also purchased a navy blue Nato and swapped the band upon arrival. I am most impressed with the quality of this piece and great thanks to Marc and his staff”
“I have owned many field watches over the years, starting with my first watch, an LL Bean Hamilton Khaki.
The Islander ISL-42 second gen. is everything that I have always wanted in a field watch. I have it on a 2mm thick Milanese strap and it is perfect.
Thanks Marc!”
“Wow what an incredible watch for the price! This is now my daily go to even for my DIY projects around the house. This watch has only lost several seconds after 10 days!! Amazing for the price.”
“Just received my Islander field watch and could not be happier with the purchase. Arrived earlier than expected and pre-sales customer experience was top notch. The watch is solid, and the dial is beautiful. I wish the strap were a little longer but I can remedy that pretty easily thanks to the quick release strap.. This timepiece exceeds my expectations and will be me everyday piece due to it's build quality and easy read dial and size.”
“Really wanted to buy a watch from Marc because I enjoy his videos, and his efforts to sell nice watches at reasonable prices. I like the color and layout of this watch. The nice strap is a bonus. I'm even starting to like the logo!”
“I had a Seiko SKA 727 kinetic I always wore for travel, but it wasn't a daily-worn watch, and I couldn't keep the battery charged. So I sold it and picked up the Islander field watch with black dial, because it has a very similar look to the SKA727. Good size at 39mm and 12mm thick. NH35 automatic movement runs about -3 seconds a day.”
“I love Islander watches. This one is my least favorite of the 3 I own. It runs very fast so I have to adjust time at least every couple of days. Not crazy about the strap as it has let to break in and is very stiff. The blue face looked better to me on video then in person.”
