“I already have a 10 year old Seiko I bough in Asia, with a 7S36 movement, 23 jewels. So the SKX007 was familiar in how to wind it, etc. I hope to travel with the watch, and I won't have to worry about its water resistance or toughness. I have poor eyesight, so I cannot say enough about how incredibly legible the watch is. The lume works very well in dim light, even uncharged. The watch is keeping excellent time, to boot.”
“I've bought several watches from Island Watch and have always been impressed with their products, speed of delivery and support. I recently had an unexpected problem with one watch and Mark sent me a replacement even before I was able to return the original!”
“Perfect vacation watch. Looks good on all kinds of straps. Swam in the ocean, in pools, wore it to dinner... this can pretty much do it all, maybe not black tie events but it works dressed up. Bracelet is chintzy, but I like it; it's comfy and I actually like the look of it.”
“This is the third Seiko SKX diver I've owned over the past 8 years, and it's the highest-quality one. The serial number indicates it was made in September 2018. It's running +1 second/day, and the crown action is silky smooth, not gritty. I replaced the bracelet with a black/grey NATO strap because I prefer the strap for hot, sticky, sweaty weather and aquatic activities. The bracelet may go back on after Labor Day. If you need the functionality of a dive watch--great water resistance, great lume, and an elapsed-time timer, it's hard to justify spending any more money than this. On a value per dollar basis, Seiko may have never surpassed the SKX diver.”
“Received my modded Seiko SKX007K2, it is better than expected and received faster than expected. Marc's communication is great. No more say than 5-Stars”
