Easy buying process

I waited on my purchase of this one since I wasn’t too sure I’d wear this color often enough. I also have the salmon Brookville model. I’m glad I waited! I like this new design better with Islander written under the logo; I think it gives the dial a classier, more balanced look. I’m pleasantly surprised with how much I do like the color after all. I just don’t see it as a daily wearer; for me anyway. Great value, great specs, wears nicely on wrist and compliments the other watches I have in my collection.

The fit and finish on the watch is amazing. The dial color is great and the movement has been spot on since I starting wearing it. Already looking for more Islander watches to purchase!!

Really pleased with this watch. Workmanship and accuracy equal to my Rolex costing 20x what this piece did. Haven’t taken it off since receiving it almost a week ago. Probably going to get it’s sister watch with the salmon colored face.

Loved the watch. The quality is awesome for the price. The watch was delivered very quickly and great customer service. I plan to go back to Long Island Watch to purchase more in the future.

This is a lot of watch for the money, with many quality features. It’s well finished overall, and the light blue dial is attractive and consistent with the photos. The watch keeps reasonably good time - it gains about nine seconds per day. My only criticism is that the inside of the bracelet was not sufficiently polished - it irritated my wrist. I remedied this with some of my own polishing, using jewelers’ rouge cloth and microfiber cloth. The result is a smoother surface inside the bracelet. I will wear this watch with nice casual clothes, particularly in the summer. This has been a nice experience overall.

Overall, this was a fine experience. The inside of the watch bracelet required some additional polishing, as I noted in my review, but the watch is fine overall and a sold value.

I have several automatic watches. The Islander Brockville is by far the most accurate watch I have ever owned. The time is always dead on.

One of the most beautiful watches I’ve ever seen in this price range. The quality, fit in finish, and presentation of this timepiece is exceptional.

Quick and straightforward

This watch screams "VALUE' way above its pay grade. It's a quality piece of workmanship with many high-end features that belie its diminutive purchase price. I'll be back for more!

I've been waiting for some time to buy from Islander. I couldn't be happier and haven't even received the watch yet! The site is easy, and the descriptions give me all the necessary information to make a good decision. Purchase was a breeze, with plenty of options to pay at the end. Update: I have the watch in hand, and it does not disappoint! This is a great watch at a price that makes me feel like a thief!

Great value watch with a distinctive color that people notice.

Sharp eye catching watch with its blue color. . It is comfort on the wrist and the looks are high end without the absurd pricing the luxury market charges.

Great watch products and service from Marc
Christian P - 01/22/2023
The Robin's Egg blue dial is striking, and the absence of a date window really balances the layout. The indices and hands are clearly legible and well-lumed yet elegant, and the movements' smooth sweep of the polished seconds hand is soothing to see glide past the architecture below.

Very happy with Marc and the Long Island Watch team- helpful videos, loads of relevant horological information, desirable products, and great value.

When the ISL-85 was about to come back in stock, I received a text from LIW to buy it as a "special" before it was put out to the public. Since I missed it the last time, I decided to buy it, as I like the color. I already have the Islander 43mm Pogue, so I sort of knew what to expect. However, the price was the same when it was released on the website, so there was no special discount as it sounded like the text message sort of implied (just my opinion). A bit of a disappointment there. Shipping was quick as I'm in Brooklyn. When I opened the box, the blue color of the dial looked slightly different than the pictures. I thought it was going to be a bit deeper in shade, but I guess it's hard to get the exact color of anything from a computer screen. The color to me, is reminiscent of mid-century design and advertising. I've seen a lot of early 1960s art/advertising with this kind of blue. So if you like retro colors, this is quite nice. The watch looks, for the most part, well made. I like how the hour markers are outlined in silver. I also like the polished/mirrored finish of the hands. Sizing the bracelet was easy. Although one pin was somewhat difficult to get out. But I finally was able to loosen it and it was free. If there is one thing that I would be critical of - it's the second small part of the clasp that you push down to lock. It doesn't seem to lock all that tight. I feel that it could unlock easily. My Pogue watch (22mm) has a much more robust locking when you push down that part of the clasp. So, I don't know if corners were cut due to inflation pressures, or if that's how it is is on all 20mm bracelets. In conclusion, it's quite a nice watch, but perhaps not quite perfect (but which watch is????). I would guess you would really have to like this color in order to want it (which a lot of people do, as it sold out quite quickly previously).

Good experience.
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.
