Nice watch; clean, good look; keeps accurate time. Leather band very stiff so I switched to a canvas band that is more comfortable. I recommend.

Thank you for fixing the issue with my watch band. I will be returning for more purchases in the future!

I always wanted to support Marc and his company. I am not a rich guy so Black Friday is a great opportunity for me to buy one of his watches. The watch was simple, no date. The watch offered a lot of bang well over its price. What surprised me even more was the leather strap. It felt amazingly soft and comfortable. I loved it! Thank you.

I had already had a flieger type b and wanted a type a. When I got this I was very pleased. The design is very clean with great visibility for my aging eyes. Thank you very much for such a wonderful watch.

The watch was delivered ahead of the estimated time. I recurrences the watch in less than a week from placing my order.

Exceeded my expectations. A sturdy, no-nonsense, nicely finished watch.

Very pleased with my purchase. The only downside was that between shipping, customs, and duty the final price that I payed was 50% again as much as the items were listed for. That took a purchase that would have been a great value into more of the 'I'm pleased with my purchase' territory.

Great quality for the price! Get one!

Watches with these specs don’t get cheaper.

Very good.

Because of the size of my wrist I wish it was 41mm instead of 42mm but am getting used to it. It is really easy to see the time quickly. I have been wanting one of these but didnt want 36 or even 39mm so I do prefer this 42 over those. The price is the best I have found.

Super easy to place order. I have wanted this exact watch for years and finally someone made one for an affordable price.

I'm blown away by this watch. It's exceeded every expectation I had and perfectly satisfies every single thing I want in a daily-wearer watch and the best, cleanest iteration of a flieger watch I've ever seen. A friend asked if I'd purchased and modded an IWC Mark XVIII. Very well-built with perfectly legible, clean, and symmetrical face and indices. The lume is extremely legible and lasts an entire night. Perfect choice of hands that are also subtle yet legible and complimentary. Screw-down crown, very strong springbars, and great finishing on the body and bezel. The sapphire crystal is beautiful, durable, and extremely clear. My singular suggestion for improvement is to use a black date-wheel with white date numbers to match the black face of the watch. This is easily my favorite watch at the moment and seldom leaves my wrist.

The watch is simple and elegant and i like the lume

Great watch
Anonymous Customer - 06/23/2021
I can't review this watch because it hasn't turned up, over three weeks since I ordered and paid. The tracking is useless, hasn't changed for two weeks. Where's my watch?
Derik H - 03/17/2021
After a lot of research I decided to take a chance on this watch. I wasn't planning on reviewing this but with everything that this watch has to offer at this price I had to write one. First off I did a lot of research on flieger watches. And to be honest unless you want to spend over a grand on one you are going to get a Japanese/Chinese movement. I wanted an everyday watch I could wear. This one fits the bill. The Seiko movement is running +3 sec. a day so far. The non branded dial is what a Flieger is supposed to be. The lume lasted all night. I could read the time at 5am this morning. This is my idea of a Flieger. One you can wear/work with it on. That's what a Flieger is meant to be.

Super legible (perfect) dial, great lume, nice movement, nice case, 100m WR, sapphire crystal... what else do you want? It wears smaller than the specs. Buy it! The leather strap is meh.
David N - 01/24/2021
very pleased. great lume, clean uncluttered dial. love the lack of a logo on the dial. running -7 sec/day on average (still settling in). perfect as a casual every day watch.
CK - 01/15/2021
Perfect size for me, and clean bold dial. Zero fluff. I wanted a flieger, I got a flieger. Anything better is starting at 2 1/2 times the price.

Excellent customer service from the Island watch company.

I wrote praise for this watch, but there is a length limit for reviews. I recommend this watch and have recommended to friends face to face. It's exactly what I wanted, a nice clean Type A, but here are a couple of very minor things that I only noticed in person: I've already ordered a strap replacement and you likely will too. It's not bad but not great. The case sides are large, straight, and flat. This is fine, but because of their shape and size they draw attention to the brushing. The tops of the lugs are rounded, so you don't notice the brushing, but on the sides it sort of looks splotchy. On more premium flieger watches I've seen the minute and second hands either go all the way out to the very edge of the dial (stowa, laco, IWC), or they are shorter and butt right up to the indices in a pleasing way (sinn). These stop at an arbitrary point in between. The "1" on the date wheel isn't centered in the date window. Every other numerals seem to line up perfectly.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
