I really wish I could be more positive; I've heard good things about the company and their watches, so I'll assume I got a sort-of lemon. My watch keeps poor time--it's a Miyota 9015, which is rated at -10/+30 seconds a day. IF I place the watch crown down at night, I can hold it to a +25, which is technically within specs. Dial up or down, and it picks up an extra 7-9 seconds a day. After one month--just after their return period--one of the screw link posts simply fell out. It had become loose; when I tried to reinstall it, I found that it was stripped. I had removed a link (a different one!) when sizing the watch, so I used that post... and found that one of the other posts was very very loose.I contacted Long Island Watch and politely asked if these were common problems and for suggestions, and I received a nice answer that was, unfortunately, not helpful. I wrote again asking about writing a review on the website and basically got ghosted. Like I said, I'll just figure I got a semi-lemon and they aren't super interested in dealing with people that buy their "sale" watches. Kind of unfortunate.
Much smaller than I had anticipated. Flimsy stap. Hard to read because of tiny dial. Not much more to say.
Send a watch completely different from what I ordered. No phone number to call. Email went unanswered.
What more can you ask for? The watch bracelet I ordered was a perfect fit. It arrived on time and in great condition. Thank you!
There is no doubt that at first glance this is a very pleasing watch to look at.
However. Hands fade into background hard to see and too small a date window.
Had I seen it in the flesh I would not have bought it.
A bit of buyers remorse here, but a good looking watch with great specs none the less.
I almost returned the watch before removing the plastic due to my poor vision and the small typeface on inner ring for the gmt hours. I'm glad I didn't because I love wearing this watch. Premium look and feel. Great weight to it. Looks great in the office and casually around town. For me it's a perfect everyday, any situation, any outfit watch.
My wrist is 6 3/4 ish.
Yet another Islander watch in my collection. This is a cool one. It's an interesting riff on an A-dial flieger with the larger 3,6,9 numerals and the sort-of sector dial. The blue hands are painted but look good. I threw it on a single-pass NATO but the bracelet is quite serviceable. All in all, a good purchase at a great price.
I had watched and red several reviews of Marc's Islander series and decided to buy a few for myself during the Black Friday event. Shipping was very quick even with the holiday, and the price of the watches belies the true quality of the watches. Definitely coming back for more.
All watches shown on 7.6" wrist
Good lume, glass is nice, very nice case diameter pretty ok stap, overall a pretty decent field watch
These bracelets sold by Marc are perfect for the Promaster. They have a very nice,
Tapered finish with a milled clasp. These bracelets take an already nice-looking watch up a notch. I also have bought a BRAC 74 for my Duro. And the customer service is excellent.
It feels so good, yet to put it on. But I came white a flathead and spring bar, so all sett to try it on. I wil update this later
Great Field Watch. The only complaint is the band. This watch deserves a bracelet and an automatic movement.
Color looks great with black and white dial of watch - Island Pilot with B dial. Comfortable to wear too!
The 39 mm is perfect for my wrist size. I actually like the dark grayish black center links which kind of reinforces that it is a limited edition. I'm expanding my collection to include more solar watches so this fits the bill. But it's a beautifully unique watch I only have one other chronograph in my collection so I was excited to get this one. The service at Long Island watch is stellar. This actually came in 2 days after I ordered it which was unexpected. Great job by Long Island watch as always.
High specs, great colours. Value for money. Would not hesitate to buy from this company again. Arrived later then I hoped but came in perfect condition. A wonderful watch and I'm very happy with my purchase

I love the lume! It's insanely bright and lasts to the morning. The very slight off-white color adds a vintage look to the dial. The stainless bracelet with screws is exceptional but I did replace it with black silicone 3 stripe glow in the dark strap from Ebay for $12 (18 20 22 24mm Bracelet Silicone Rubber Watch Band Watch Strap Deployment Clasp). Ceramic bezel and domed sapphire crystal will ensure the watch will look great for years. I will buy another with a black or white dial and go crazy switching Nato straps to match my outfit. Such a great quality for a good price.
Through the years I have acquired several watches from several different brands and this one is superior to several "high end" watches. From the crisp click of the clasp to the smooth turn of the stem you can see the attention to detail exercised when constructing. ALSO…this watch was out of stock for what felt like an eternity. In a last ditch effort…I took to TGVs video comments and asked Marc when it would be back. The next morning I was notified it was back in stock…coincidence or great customer service
In summation very happy and will buy more and recommend to all who will listen to my crazy ramblings.
Purchased two islander watches from this company simply because I liked the colors. Both have failed. These are $50 watches that are priced at $300. My own stupidity for trusting the sketchy company. No replacement only repair and they want you to pay to ship it back and it takes six weeks. Ridiculous, stay away.
Answer: No story to tell. I would guess IslandWatch are a bit unique. IslandWatch is a legit quality company.
