“I had originally purchased the smaller (37 mm) Seiko 5 from another seller. However, I found the dial to be too small for my wrist. I found the Seiko 5 Sport here on Island Watch and decided to give it a try.
First, let me compliment the very fast service. I ordered on a Monday, and the watch was shipped that same day. That's top-notch service.
On to the watch...So far, I love it. The size (42 mm) is perfect for my wrist. It's not too small, but it doesn't overwhelm my wrist like many of the now-fashionable hubcap watches. The lume lasts for hours. The watch keeps excellent time, especially for a mechanical. The strap is comfortable and has enough eyelets that it's pretty easy to get a perfect fit. My favorite features are the brushed finish and the window on the back of the watch.
Overall, I highly recommend this watch. It would be great for anyone new to the world of mechanical watches and anyone looking for a modest (not flashy) and reliable timepiece.”
“I own more expensive watches, but not a single one I enjoy looking at on my wrist more than this one. I put it on an OD green NATO strap, and it wears perfectly. Just the right size, weight, feel for me. Lume is magnificent. Flawless construction. Timekeeping on mine is around +7 seconds a day, so phenomenal for an automatic watch in this price range. Wish it hacked/hand wound, but otherwise, close to perfect. I have an old Seiko Land Monster with the same movement, and it's pretty much a flawless timekeeper after 10 years, beat to hell, and no service. I have faith in the mechanism. Actually, I think my LM has the 21 jewel movement, but otherwise the same.”
“2nd watch I have purchased from Marc. Very satisfied. After 10 days of wearing the watch daily it has lost 2 seconds! I thought my Bambino V4 was exceptional at +5 seconds a day. Will purchase from Marc again!”
“I am very pleased with my new watch and with the shopping experience at Long Island Watch. My purchase was packaged well and arrived promptly as advertised. Great customer service! I will definitely shop here again. Thanks to Long Island Watch. Keep up the good work!”
“This is the 2nd watch I buy from Mark, I learned about him thru TGV. Great service and beautiful watches I wil continue to purchase from Long Island watches.”
“The Seiko Military Black Dial Automatic gets the job done. This stealth timepiece has a weight that says tough and durable yet balanced and sleek profile gives the feeling as if nothing is on the wrist. The flat matte finish prevents glare and shine not needed on a military style timepiece. The durable black canvas strap secures the watch to the wrist with the strength of military cargo straps. I like it!”
