"Shopping is made easy on their website and, on top of it all, Marc and his team at Island Watch team go above and beyond to help. One story out of many; I had ordered straps immediately after another order and they combined both in the same shipment to help me save on shipping. They didn’t have to do that … but they did. Shout out to Ryan! You da man! "
"Love everything about Longislandwatch.com! Impeccable service, very high quality bracelets and quick shipping!"
"Great selection of products and web site is easy to navigate. Shipping was fast. Will be ding business with again. Love the videos on YouTube that give you a preview of what the products look like and the features of the products."
"I recently was fortunate enough to obtain both an SKX013 as well as SKX007 to add to my ever growing Seiko collection. Even though both watches came with a proprietary Seiko bracelets, I opted to upgrade to better quality. Islander continues to deliver, pun intended. The bracelets fit perfectly and look incredible on the watches. Absolutely love what Marc is doing in the watch industry and wish him continued success and happiness.

"This is what a limited edition should be. Creative, fun, well executed. Great collaboration, and cool watch!"
"I received my watch promptly and Marc was responsive and helpful. "
"Easy to use website, smooth and seamless transaction, care taken with shipment preparation and boxing. That June holiday screwed up my shipment time, and if it were up to me I would have chosen a different shipper or shipping method ( us Americans have grown , maybe, lol, too accustomed to priority or next day shipping). The watch is as described on website. I like the watch, the **** the other hand, I am more of a stainless steel clasp type of wearer. The lower part of strap under the 6 o'clock position is a bit long and I wish seiko made this strap more user friendly and more adjustable.
Overall was a good first time experience purchasing with I. W. . I would buy from them again & Yes I would recommend them to anyone else! Very good videos on YouTube, been watching for... idk, 3/6 years now, good content. "
"I saw this on you tube being fitted to a Seiko SNK80X Watch and as ive got a Lorus which is made by Seiko i thought id take a chance and order it As you can see from the pictures my Lorus is model No RXD425L8 The new one is RG877CX9 and it has the No 3 showing or really only half which really looks odd, thanks for the good service will buy again "
"Long Island Watch makes it so easy! Gorgeous blue Phoibos x Islander Eagle Ray jumped right off the page. Beautiful dial, excellent fit & finish & great features. Purchase #6 & certainly not my last!"
"I love love love my new watch! I’ve had a smart watch and a gifted watch but this is by far my favorite! The smart watch has now been gifted to someone else, this watch is staying on my arm. My watch loving husband cringes when he sees me in my garden or washing dishes with this on but if I can’t wear it, why have it! Its beautiful! "
"Fast shipping, no damages and excellent quality products "
"I've been looking at the YouTube channel and the website for years. I'm a huge sufferer of "Ready, aim, aim, aim, [and aim and aim and aim . . .] syndrome". One of the watches I'd been looking at for years went on sale, so I finally bought it. I also bought a few accessories to save on shipping costs. (It's hard to beat free shipping! Sorry if you're not in the USA!) All four items were shipped in one package, which was convenient for me. (My experience with other companies had me possibly expecting more than one shipment.)
Around half of the time a new line of watches was announced, I wished I could get one. Some watches I regret NOT buying (somewhat): the Orient Neptune, a Yes watch (why did it have to be so big?), an Islander Day-T, an Islander DPA, an Islander Ameriquartz, the Islander ISL-52 (the "pinkie"), the Islander ISL-30, an Islander with a full luminous dial, a Phoibos Great Wall, various Seiko divers, and maybe a Seiko Flightmaster. (I'm old enough to know how to use a slide rule!) Somehow, I managed to NOT follow this advice (so far): "Take two [or three or four], they're small!" At least my bank account is bigger.
A couple of minor nitpicks:
I plan to wait about 29 days to peel the plastic off because of the return policy. Ultimately, it's all for the best, but it's hard to be patient. (I want to turn that dive bezel!) It's not like I needed another watch.
I didn't receive a screw driver to re-size the bracelet. I already have two, so it means less clutter in my home.
I had forgotten that Long Island Watch can't always control the 2nd language on the Day wheel. I was expecting Spanish (like my Casio), but my guess is that it's Kanji (Japanese). It only matters in the middle of the night!
I came very close to forgetting to enter the coupon code. I was hovering over the submit button when I remembered. Hey, 15 bucks is 15 bucks!

Bold piece. Reinterpretation of the vintage faded orange - copper (dare I say 'salmon') hue dial into a modern and adventurous wristwatch with all the great specs that we have come to take for granted. I love the sharp and crisp appearance, and its presence is on par with those of several heavy-hitting larger brand-name (i.e., expensive and prestigious) dive watches. The faded orange dial shifts to a beige-like impression at times, but at other times is unabashedly orange; either way the dial hue matches well with the blue ceramic bezel insert and marker accents. A fun watch for sure, and sophisticated enough to play well when dressed up. Aesthetically engaging and Im still trying to understand why the design works so well in a variety of situations. The potential value for this piece, especially considering cost per wear, is exponential.
I initially had some reservations about the polished hands because I've had trouble quickly reading the time with polished hands against a light hue dial in bright outdoor sunlight. Rest assured, the polished hands on the Islander Port Jefferson in Faded Orange present no such challenge. The blue center line on the hour and minute hands provide an accurate time check with ease. My favorite aspect of the polished hands is the way they are able to pick up the color of the dial under certain viewing angles. The only challenge to a quick time check is the captivating dial and the play of the light diffracting through the domed sapphire and reflecting off the polished hands.
The 40 mm stainless steel case frames the dial well and the 11.5 mm height keeps the piece firmly seated against the wrist. The caseback is simple but interesting, and the grooves in the logo are wide enough to allow easy cleaning. The 3D nature of the watch becomes even more pronounced when viewing the charged lume in the dark. There is plenty of lume too, and if it weren't for the lumed logo, you might think this watch made by a brand that rhymes with Draco. The bracelet is comfortable, easily adjusted, and complements the watch. This watch could work well with a variety of straps, if one was so inclined. The team at Islander Watches responded to my inquiries very rapidly and the watch arrived on time. The Islander Port Jefferson in Faded Orange is an attainable splurge, even if it takes some disciplined saving. This piece is well worth the price to support the great work being done at Islander Watches. Generally, other reviews of this piece, with the watch at full price, agree with my conclusion. If you are purchasing the piece on sale or discounted, well, lets just say that the odds will forever be in your favor."
"Fast delivery over seas! Thanks!"
"Great service as always! Fast shipping and quality product. The jubilee style bracelet elevates my Orient Kamasu to new heights! "
