Not perfect but great value

Would be five stars, but there was a scratch.on the domed glass. That being said, it was still terrific value, and I decided to give it a home here.

Return and refund was graciously offered. I decided to keep the watch, even while scratched it presents well and is a great value.

This watch changed my perspective of time. The days don't seem as long, and I'm always where I need to be a few minutes earlier. The simple design is calming to look at and makes for a less stressful day.

Great price and value

Excellent transaction. Watch has a nice weight, and the feel as you wind the watch is satisfying; the click feels firm but not too tight. Watch has a nice size as well, the 40 mm case diameter is perfect. So far it keeps good time, maybe loses 20-30 seconds per week.

Quick and easy; very smooth and efficient buying process. The watch exceeded expectations and was delivered ahead of schedule. Would buy from here again.

Unique Beautiful Mechanical Watch

Best price for this watch anywhere. As always, Long Island Watch was very expedient getting this fulfilled and shipped. And you know with LIW, the quality of the product will be the best. As for the watch, I love it. One hand is all you need to tell time with a 2 to 3 minute precision. Simplicity at it’s finest. What sold me, though, was the curved hand and dial, along with the super domed crystal. The dial markings are very nice looking. I replaced the greenish strap with a thin brown leather NATO strap.

Quick and easy. Appreciate the PayPal options. As always, LIW was easy to order from and quick shipping is consistent

This is an attractive watch, but the minute markings are so tiny I find it hard to see them. I am going to keep it any way, just for the looks alone.

Very Classy and Unique

This watch is very elegant and is sure to turn heads. The Arabic numerals are some of the best I have seen, the movement is accurate enough and you can tell time to the minute with practice. TY to Long Island for the very fast shipping and stellar service.

Beautifully idiosyncratic watch

I won't reiterate what other reviewers have said about the charms of this unusual timepiece. Those reviews should give you a pretty good idea as to whether this watch is for you. If the Red Star Solo speaks to you, go for it - you'll love it. Great service as always from Long Island Watch, no issues with delivery even though my phone autofilled the wrong name on the order!

Be there when I get there.

I enjoy the simplicity of this watch. Being retired I don't feel any rush to be anywhere. No need to synchronize to NIST time. This is my 'be there when I get there' watch. Love the feeling of free time. Perhaps future editions could add the red star to the top of the dial to add a color accent.

A most amazing watch....

I actually like this watch more than I thought I would. It communicates a whole different relationship with time. All of a sudden, accuracy to the second becomes unimportant because it's impossible! Who knew? Thanks!

Unique and fun

This is a killer fun watch, super unique with the curved single hand, the fun case shape, the surprisingly comfy strap despite the astonishingly low price! The hand wind only design is good to use as a teachable thing for newer collectors and doesn’t risk damaging a truly rare or expensive piece, but the fun design and style also makes it very wearable as a practical watch. I wear mine a lot on weekends as a change of pace watch, something that can generate conversations with friends and be very chill in nature on time away from the workplace. Great product, thank you LongIslandWatch for carrying something like this, it’s very cool and I look forward to having this simple beauty for years to come.

Single hand Red Star beauty

Purchased this watch shortly after viewing Marc’s review on YouTube. So glad I did. This watch is so beautiful that I kept staring at it from different angles. The only thing that I didn’t like was the strap, I felt that it didn’t work with the watch so I switched it for a brown leather nato. Really makes the watch pop. The original green nato I found worked best on the SARB017. Service was excellent and received the watch really quickly. Great company to do business with and a great watch to purchase and own.


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.
