“An improvement on the old Seiko monster DNA. I picked this up for a Black Friday sale, but it is worth every bit of the full price. If Mark decides to do a new line of Island Monsters, I'm down. Vampire dial is an old favorite of the enthusiasts!”
“The ISL-94 is a great upgrade to the Monster it homages. The sapphire crystal is much better quality than the hardlex on the original and the bracelet is also a major upgrade. The main negative is the carelessness that went into the handling prior to shipping. The cardboard box that the watch arrived in was in perfect condition. Unfortunately the Islander watch box had the corner crushed in. This either happened in the warehouse when perhaps it was dropped from a decent height or came in this condition from the factory. Either way, it happened before it was placed into the box to be shipped to me. This was meant to be a Christmas present for a family member, but the condition of the Islander box along with the concern I have that the watch itself may have suffered some damage has unfortunately led me to needing to find an alternative for their gift as I wouldn’t want to risk giving them a watch as a gift that possibly suffered damage and in a box that was partially crushed. I purchased this watch on Black Friday so it was discounted, but they are out of stock, so there isn’t the possibility of an exchange. Time will tell if the movement suffered any damage, and if so, the cost to replace the movement will outweigh any savings over a Seiko. Hopefully I can find my family member a still new Monster instead for Christmas that doesn’t arrive in a partially crushed watch box. Disappointing first purchase from Long Island Watch.”
“Excellent construction and finish. The watch and band are very comfortable and well paired. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a great value tool watch.
As always the purchase experience was smooth and easy to complete.”
