Islander Automatic Watch with Leather Strap and an AR Dome Sapphire Crystal #ISL-54 Reviews

4.9 Rating 134 Reviews
“Love the look of this watch. Nice and simple, easy to read, no date to mess with symmetry. And the lume is awesome. The size of the 3,6,9,12, makes it very easy for my old eyes to see. The orange second hand is a nice touch.”

“Beautiful watch. I love the case, the dial and hands are very legible and the domed sapphire crystal gives some nice distortion when you look at an angle. Lume is good and it's very legible at night as well. Accuracy is great, I don't know if the movement has been regulated or not, but mine was within a minute of my PC's time after two weeks. The leather strap felt like good quality, but it was too tight for me. My wrist is 8.5 inches and it almost fits, so anyone with a smaller wrist than that will be fine.”

“After purchasing several watches of other brands from Long Island, I was curious to get one of their creations. This watch was a great purchase. I liked all facets of the watch. I did switch to a black and orange nato strap to accent the orange second hand. The result is great and the original leather band is nice also.”

“Watch looks great on the wrist. I have been wanting to get a no date watch for quite some time. Would have prefered a solid case back on this one. The NH35 isn't going to win any beauty contests. Glad it has a screw down crown, but I would have been happier with 200 meters of water resistance as opposed to 100. Overall pleased with the watch.”

“I enjoy the watch. But it did take approximately ten days after the order to reach me. My house is a two hour drive from Island Watch.”

“This watch is very close to the Tudor Ranger in design. Evidently Tudor has discontinued their Ranger model but the #ISL-54 can be had for thousands of dollars less than the Ranger for those with a passion for the type. I have other watches with the same NH movement and their regulation is identical after a break in period and off the wrist positioning. About 6 - 7 seconds in 24 hrs. Fans of the Rolex Explorer 1 could also take notice.”

“It's a nice package of features for $200. So legible. Orange second-hand is a highlight. Lume is pretty good. Screw-down action on the crown was gritty at first but is getting smoother by the day. Strap wasn't my taste, but easily switched for another 20mm. I would have paid more for a bracelet option. Time-keeping is exceptional, under 5 seconds slow. Scratches the itch for a Tudor Ranger for a fraction of the price.”
