"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! "

"It’s always best to support with a small business run by folks that are enthusiasts first and foremost because they understand their clients’ needs best. LIW offers great products at reasonable prices. They are my go-to for watch accessories."

"This Islander watch is awesome. It looks and feels well built and it is one of the most comfortable watches to wear in my collection.

And the color of the dial and bezel are fantastic. Not to mention the lume.

I now find myself looking for the next islander to add to my collection.

Thanks for making such an awesome watch!"

"I had questions about the color of the bracelet compared to the watch heads I have (SNK80X blue and black, don't know the exact numbers). I got a quick and detailed response with some back and forth. I was offered a full refund which I declined since the color is close enough for me - and I am picky - and the bracelet is JUST THAT GOOD!
Kudos, as usual, to Marc and his team at LIW. I have purchased at least 10 watches from Marc over the years, and have never been disappointed. He is exactly as he seems, and a good guy.
Buy a watch from him, you know you want one."

"Easy ordering. Fast shippin. Nuff sed!"

"Great experience as usual. Like the H-Link. I strongly recommend the upgraded clasp it really enhances the watch."

"Detail and quality is even better in person. Payment was simple and shipping was on time."

"They were quick to get the parts to me. The cost of the small parts for my watchband was a bit high but, at least, they had them in stock. Their service and knowledge were excellent. If the price had been better, I'd give them five stars. "

"The Bridgehampton race track is incredible! Beautiful watch, amazing detail, and feels excellent on the wrist. This is my third Long Island Watch and I see more in my future. "

"Bracelet looks OEM. Makes an already great looking watch look brilliant. Well made and easy transaction. Will buy again."

"When I received my order I was sent the wrong watch, got in contact with Marc and he personally emailed me back and immediately sent out the correct watch and received within a few days. Very easy to work with and couldn’t be happier. Will absolutely be buying from Marc again! "
