“I absolutely love this Seiko Turtle! I was originally concerned that it may be too large for my 6.5" wrist, but it doesn't look too big on, and I find it comfortable to wear. If Long Island Watch had offered the Turtle on a metal strap at the time of my purchase I would have chosen that option; however, the rubber strap appears to be high quality and wears well. In the future I will probably purchase an after-market metal strap anyway. I was also concerned about the online reviews regarding Seiko's quality control issues. Maybe I got lucky, but my watch is flawless--bezel, chapter ring, and indices are in perfect alignment. The watch is heavy and feels substantial and high quality.
Long Island shipped the watch promptly with no issues. However, I do wish Long Island would have provided some sort of explanation regarding shipment to Canada. I paid the higher FedEx shipping fee (approx. $50) that I assume is associated with FedEx prepaying the duty & tax at the border. When my watch arrived I payed FedEx another $100 for duty & tax on my credit card. I am not super surprised that I had to pay the fee, but I am mentioning it so the process is a bit clearer for others. All in all, I am very satisfied with my watch and Long Island, and I will purchase from them again in the future.”
“The package tracking was a bit off, it showed as label created, awaiting pickup until the day before it arrived. All good. Very happy with the service.”
“Watch arrived in a few days after online ordering. Shipped promptly and packaging was excellent. Overall great experience with Island Watch. There are a lot of questionable Watch dealers online, but I would not hesitate to purchase from Island Watch again.”
“A fantastic update to the Turtle (now comes with lume at 3 o'clock). Bezel lines up perfectly with indices, good action on it as well. Initial check has it running about -3 seconds/day, very good. The ONLY thing I can find on it that isn't essentially perfect is the near-microscopic writing at the 6 o'clock position on the dial starts to dive under the chapter ring near the end of the line. If that is what it took to have the bezel, indices, and hours line up, I'll take it.”
“I was hesitant to order a watch online. There are a lot of shady companies out there so I did a lot of resarch. Every review I read had nothing but good things to say about Long Island Watch and I'm happy to say they were right. Customer service was very responsive and the watch is exactly what I was expecting. I'll definitely be ordering my next watch through Long Island. If you're on the fence about buying online rest assured that Long Island Watch is helpful, has excellent prices, and most importantly trustworthy.
Regarding the watch, I'm thrilled with it. It fits my meduim/large wrist very well, I've noticed minimal gain or loss, hand alignment is perfect, and the strap is very comfortable. Would I like a sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel? Yes. But for me the quality, fit, and look of the watch overshadow those drawbacks and it is easy enough to upgrade the crystal and bezel with aftermarket parts (which I believe are available from Long Island.)
I have no regrets about buying this watch or dealing with this company, and it today's marketplace that is a rare statement to make.”
