“My girlfriend loves her dive watch! She has received many compliments so, naturally, that makes her feel special. I bought myself the ISL-96. The watches look quite nice together.”
“Bought this for my wife for a Christmas gift, and was worried about the size for a woman, but it looks great. She has a small wrist and it definitely is a sizeable watch on her, but not in a bad way. It begs to be looked at and it is a beautiful watch to behold. Thanks Long Island Watch. This is likely the first of many future purchases.”
“First off, the colour is absolutely beautiful. The dial pops in good light and low light alike. If there was ever a watch that would get compliments, this is it. People seem to really like it.
38mm is absolutely not too small at all. This is a great size, even for a 6' tall man. I think it's a refreshing change of pace to have a smaller dive watch in my collection.
For the price, this watch is a great value. The double domed sapphire crystal is really nice, and the anti reflective coating works very well. The lumed sapphire bezel insert is very nice and unique; it's not something I've ever seen on a watch before the Islanders. Even the logo is lumed, which I've never seen before either. The nh35 movement is reliable and quite accurate (mine came out of the box around -10 seconds per day). The bracelet is comfortable, the screw pins are easy to work with (except for the one stubborn one that was going to strip if I forced it), and the milled clasp is nice.
The only nit-picks I can think of would be:
1. The bracelet finishing could be just a little better for a smoother feel. The edges on bottom of the end link are slightly rough if your run your thumb over it, but not noticable at all while wearing it.
2. I wish there was more lume. The amount of lume is perfectly acceptable for the price, I just wish there was a little more. I wear my watch while I sleep, and I am 100% guaranteed to be able to read the time if I wake up in the middle of the night in my dark room.
3. The racheting bezel is kinda mushy. It works perfectly fine, I just wish it has a more confident click to it.
Overall, I think this watch is gorgeous and a great value for the price, especially on sale. I will absolutely consider getting a another Islander based off of my experience with this one, and I would recommend the Islanders to anyone looking for a watch that's both familiar and unique at the same time. It's pure class, and I'm absolutely chuffed to bits. Great job Marc! Okay, ciao!”
“Really happy with this purchase and the overall quality of the watch. The bezel movement and band really stand out as being great, even though I did swap it to a nato strap.”
“Solid watch that partially funds a good charity. The color is eye catching and a conversation starter. Does help awareness in that way.
The lume is amazing! Best of any watch in my collection. Glows through the night!”
