“Like many others, I was interested in the SKX013 as a beater to wear in situations where I would not wear my more expensive watches. However, I quickly found that I enjoyed it too much to do that. The watch is of fantastic quality for the price. The movement unfortunately does not have hand winding or hacking, but the watch makes up for it in charm and case quality. I would highly recommend this, or the bigger brothers the SKX007, 009 and 011 to anyone looking for an affordable diver.”
“For such a cheap watch this is really something else, it feels like it can take a lot of beating and outlast most watches at this pricerange. My favourite watch and my new daily wearer.”
“After doing a good bit of research on quality entry-level automatic divers, I settled on the 38mm SKX013, as I have a 6 3/4 inch wrist.
When I got the watch I was impressed! The bezel lined up with the indices and all seemed well, so I took the plastic off and sized the bracelet. After a few days, I noticed something off: some of the hour markers were misaligned with the chapter ring! For someone with minor OCD like myself, this was infuriating!
What's worse is that I specifically asked, in the order instructions, that the watch be checked for quality control issues before being shipped to me. This clearly was ignored, and after reading the return policy it appears I want be able to have it returned or replaced.
The moral of the story? Don't trust or rely on Long Island Watch's reputation, always THOROUGHLY check the watch yourself before taking the plastic off.”
“A beautiful timepiece indeed. From start to end of the purchase at Long Island Watch, it was a smooth process including on time delivery. Thank you Marc!”
“The watch came in perfect condition and on time.. It looks really nice.. I can't really take my eyes off it..
This size in my opinion is very elegant and perfect for small to medium wrest.. If you are considering which size to get, I recommend getting the 013.”
“Website works well, communication was good, watch shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. I'm delighted with this purchase. Buy with confidence!”
“The watch did take a little while to arrive, but I was very pleased when it did arrive. It is obviously a very high quality time piece for the money, and it is definitely better than you think. The bracelet is dressier than I would want, so I put it on a NATO strap (looks great). The lack of hacking is somewhat irritating, but not crucial. All in all, a great watch.”
