“I love this watch. I like the simplicity of no date window. Some reviewers have said that the crown is hard to unscrew and screw back down, but the crown on my ISL-54 is fine. I've worn the watch non-stop for about 2 weeks, and it is very accurate. Repeat: I love this watch.”
“This is a great watch. The build quality is excellent and I lucked out with a Seiko NH that's running a +2 secs per day. The watch wears large with the clearest dial I've seen. On the bracelet, it's incredibly handsome. For the price, even with UK customs charges (£47), it's incredibly good value. It's a unique looking watch in my growing collection.”
“I researched current watch offerings for months. I even bought a few cheap models to see how I liked or disliked different watch styles. The design features I determined were important to me are personified in the ISL-54. I can't think of anything I would change. I opted for the stainless steel bracelet and I'm glad I did. I purchased from Marc because I value his design decisions and I appreciate his work on YouTube that he shares with us for free.”
“So I follow LIW on YouTube and have bought several watches from LIW in the past. I was intrigued at the Islander series when they came out, but stuck with my usual brand. That was until I saw this ISL-54 and HAD to have one. I can't believe the quality of this watch….it's amazing. I paired with the metal bracelet, which also impressed me. I love this thing and can't take it off. It's REALLY that good. I'm sold, I will only be buying Islanders from here on out. I have NO complaints at all. The dial and second hand is very unique. Thanks LIW for ANOTHER great watch and your EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!”
“This watch is the perfect 40/20. I think my wrist size is almost identical or maybe just slightly larger than Marc. So I really like this type of watch size. I might be in the vast minority, but I actually like the leather strap. I also think on the leather strap but this watch can actually masquerade and get by with either as a dress watch or at least close. It's really a clean looking watch the sides are polished and the bezel is brushed which is good for my lifestyle! Besides the bracelet that is offered separately, this watch could pull off casual straps or even other dressy leather straps and it would look just fine. This is my 4th islander purchased. This last time I was going to buy a Hamilton on the grey market, but I changed my mind at the last minute. I'm totally happy with my decision. Another high value islander. I don't collect watches so that they say Swiss made on the dial. I look for value and these watches never disappoint.”
“I have really enjoyed my new hobby of watch collecting especially because of Long Island Watch. This latest addition Islander - 54 is an amazing watch. Having a perfectly symmetrical dial makes it a pleasure to look”
“I like everything about this watch. The AR makes the dial look blue alot more than expected. I like blue as well so not a problem. Loomed numbers, hands and indices are crisp and fun to look at in the dark. The case shape suites my style altho the brushing is a bit light, I think it makes the case appear titanium, works for me. Accurate as well, lost just over 1 minute this week. I wear it always except at work. Best watch of my collection.”
