This was my first experience/purchase and all went well. Great price, product exactly as pictured and it shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I will shop here again!

I had never bought anything here before and when I saw that this is where Amazon was going to sell it from I just went right to the site and saved $35. Watch game probably within a week in new condition.

The customer service standard that other online retailers aspire to. A pleasurable experience from start to finish, thank you.

Very happy to see the first generation orange monster still for sale. Fast shipping and nice price. Will shop here again in the future.

I have a 'knack' for chipping crystals that protrude anything above the watch side profile, and with this piece, worry no more! The high-viz orange face is great, allows me to see the time in the dimmest lighting. The watch band pin/collar system gave me a fit or two, so just be be warned..

I can't say much that watch lover's don't already know. This is a classic piece that exudes quality for the price. Every collector should have a Monster.

I don't normally take the time to write a review on things that I purchase. However, I ordered the Seiko Orange Monster with the bracelet from Longislandwatch.com and all I can say is this watch is way better in real life then any video and picture HD or not I had seen on my research before buying this watch. I am not going to bore you with the details since there are 100's of great reviews on this watch out there, and all I will tell you is that all of them are true!! The real reason that made me decide to do this review is to give an incredible THANK YOU to Long Island Watch Company. The service was outstanding, however what impressed me was on there shipping!! I live in California, I ordered this watch on a Thursday and by Monday late morning this dog on watch was is my ups box waiting to be picked up by me! I have ordered other watches from online companies that are in the same general area as this company is and they blew me away with how fast I received my watch.

The Seiko Orange Monster (SKX781K1) is a pleasure to own. The orange dial is legendary and the lume is as bright as you will ever see. The lume on the hour markers has a very pleasing to the eye yellow green color. It looks so good against the background orange color of the dial. The case is built like a tank, and with the stainless bracelet they balance very well on my wrist. And, the bracelet does not grab and tug on my arm hairs!

I was looking for an online Seiko dealer that had 100 percent rating (eBay) and would ship internationally---I am in the Philippines. There are not too many that qualify. Although I did not purchase my Orange Monster through eBay, Marc at Island Watch satisfied those two requirements. Plus, he was there to answer my questions before and after the sale. The SKX781K1 arrived well-packaged, with correct tags, new gift box, and Seiko warranty. And, since 12-13-2013, looks great and runs well. Thanks again, Marc, for the excellent watch and great customer service.

Watch arrived in Good condition. So far accuracy has been good however have had only one week so far.
Wayne - 10/03/2013
Watch just as expected, shipped fast with great communication. So far, it is absurdly accurate for a mechanical watch (8 seconds fast per WEEK) but I expect it to self adjust over the next 30 days or so, and it might not stay so accurate. Personally, I prefer the look of the old style (non-triangular hour markers), but to each his own. Love the watch, and a great company to do business with.

The whole experience was first class - love the watch! Arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I am eyeing my next purchase as I type! Thanks again!

Beautiful, easy to read dial. Solid build. Great size on my wrist.
Anonymous Customer - 07/18/2013
I received the watch in six days, which was much quicker than projected by the post. The watch looks and feels great. I have yet to test its accuracy. I definitely recommend purchasing the OM from Island Watch.
Phil Q - 07/16/2013
I just received the watch and EVERYONE has complimented me on it from my boss to the jeweler that removed some links for me. The orange makes it even better looking. The Monster is a big watch but does not over power a smaller wrist. I love the bracelet because it does NOT snag the hairs I have on my arm. The orange monster is an all around perfect watch. Marc is a real pleasure to deal with, his customer service is the best. I will definitely order from him again and it will be another Seiko Monster. Thanks again Marc!

One of the BEST online purchase experiences I have ever had. This is a smashing watch from an excellent seller. the customer service Marc offers is outstanding. Great prices, quick shipping from a timepiece centric business. No regrets here!
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.
