“The watch arrived in good condition, and faster than expected. The only cons are the quality control issues. At first I thought the chapter right is mis-aligned to the left a bit, but upon closer inspection, the minute markers are not printed uniformely. Both the 12 and 6 o'clock indicies have the minute markers around it too much to the left. 59, 60 and 1 minute marker is slightly to the left, and the 29, 39, 31 minute markers also to the left (not the right). Also a spec of dust on the bottom side of the anti-reflective sapphire glass. Hoping not all models are like that. As for others it's a fairly inexpensive watch, but a student like me its really dissapointing cause its a big investment.”
“Absolutely gorgeous watch. I can’t stop looking at it. The jubilee band is so nice with the polished center links and brushed outer, just draws you in. Then the case shows off the super refined bezel and dial. The dial speaks for itself, you’ll see. It’s got weight to it and I like that. You know it’s on your wrist and you want to know it’s on your wrist because it reminds you to look at and enjoy it while you’re supposed to be working. Top notch. I can’t see any reason why my next watch won’t be an Islander with this quality.”
“I have been very pleased with my islander watch. Solid construction and accurate time. I have not had a timepiece on my wrist for a long time and it was great finding such a quality watch.”
“This watch is one of the best buys on the market, hands down. The value here for the price exceeded my expectations, The ceramic bezel is flawless and the appearance is very clean and bright through the gently domed sapphire crystal. I posses far more expensive time pieces, and this inexpensive, upgraded classic is certainly not a step-down in either looks or how well the appointments are carefully executed. There is great attention to detail in this well thought-out and tastefully executed watch. The Jubilee band is also worth mentioning as very well designed and substantial... a big step-up from the regular Seiko offering,
So tasteful... Kudos Islander!!!”
