“In picking out a watch, it is always a good idea to try the piece on before buying. Most brick and mortars don't carry the SKX013, but most do have an SKX007/009 and an SNK. I think that if you try them on back to back and imagine an amalgamation of the two, you arrive at something like the 013--narrower than the 007, thicker than the SNK... If the 013 is to your taste, you are going to love it.
Now, onto the real reason for my 5-star review: Marc's customer service. He sent me a watch with perfect alignment, answers all my questions promptly and thoroughly, and delivers some of the most instructive watch content on youtube. LongIslandWatch is a great company and deserves your business.”
“Have had the watch for 2 months now and am totally satisfied with the look and performance of the watch. Having 6 1/4" wrists, it's hard to find a dive watch that doesn't look too large. The SKX013 at 38mm diameter case size fits the bill. Although accuracy isn't as good as a quartz, mine varies +/- 10 seconds a day, it's fine for my purposes. I usually adjust +/- a minute about once a week. Didn't bother having the Jubilee bracelet sized, installed a NATO strap instead, looks great! I'm glad I ordered this watch through "Island Watch". Great price, fast shipping, and the watch was exactly as described. Another satisfied customer. Thanks and kudos to Marc @ Island Watch.”
“Was in the market for a mid-size dive watch, and happened to receive one with pretty good alignment. Personally, love the smaller size and happy Seiko still produces these!”
“Excellent place to shop around for Seikos and all other brands. Enjoyed videos by Mark to learn watches for perhaps future purchases. Can’t wait to buy next”
“The is the perfect everyday watch, not to big, not to small. 20mm band interchanges with all of the NATOs I had from other watches. This is a go anywhere, do anything watch. I just don't worry about it when I'm wearing it. Keeps decent time as well.”
“One week in and I’m very happy woth this watch. It’s a really nice size, especially since I prefer watches in the 38mm range. Watch arrived quickly and carefully packaged. What’s more, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had received a French/English bilingual model, as is common in the Canadian market but not something I’d expect from a US seller. A considerate touch: thank you!”
“I received the Seiko divers watch. Unfortunately, it is an imported watch and I did not know that. The picture I saw and ordered was a watch with the date in English. The watch I received has the date in another language so I will be returning it. I'm not happy that what I received is different than the pictures I saw and what I thought I was ordering. I hope that Island Watch can make this right.”
