“Really like this watch. It ticked all the boxes for me, and looks better in person. It makes a good 2nd or 3rd watch, and could be a 1 watch collection for the right person. It straddles the line between dress watch and tool watch well, with design nods to Panerai and Seiko without trying to be something it isn't.
There are a couple things that I wish were slightly different (did change the bezel insert...), but Mark knocked this one out of the park! Love, love, love the case shape, second hand and the stepped crown, and think the polished center section of the bracelet is a really nice touch. Buy this if you like what you see, especially if you want a nice mod platform down the road, but get a different color or style if you're looking for a strap monster or don't want constant distraction/attention from that big beautiful dial.
Oh, and btw, the blue dial looks everything and nothing like pics you see. The pics are like trying to describe the smell of a banana to someone over the phone, it's a phenomenal, jaw dropping, breath-taking color!”
“I've been watching this watch for some time and the Black Friday sale was too enticing. It has a beautiful teal sandwich dial and fits well, though I prefer larger watches. The band was easy to resize. Shipping was fast too. All in all, a satisfying shopping experience.”
“Beautiful watch, very well made and finished. I found a royal blue fabric strap that matches the dial color of the watch, and it really pops. I love the case style, and I hope that you make the same style with a black dial!
This is my fourth watch from Island Watch, and I really like all of them.”
“This dial captured my attention as soon as I saw it. I am not really a big fan of dive watches, but this one I happily added to my collection. The lume combination on the watch dial and bezel look great in low light as all the indices on the bezel are lumed, not just the triangle at 12. It also looks great when the sun hits that blue-green dial. Really a striking watch that has attracted attention when worn.”
“I was extremely on the fence with this one. I love Long Island’s Islander series, but this one is a little out of my normal wear….. so glad I decided to grab one. The green is beautiful and vibrant. The sandwich dial is a cool design. The bracelet is extremely comfortable and sparkles in the light. My only issue is my chapter ring is SLIGHTLY off center. But as a Seiko “fanboy” I’m kind of used to that. I recommend this one if you’re looking for something familiar, yet different.”
