Beautiful watch running about 5+ seconds per day. Case is flawless and markers and bezel perfectly aligned. Nice bracelet with diver’s extension. Excellent! As usual, Long Island Watch is providing a great product, a fair price, quick delivery and excellent packing.

It has been a while since I have purchased from LIW as I wasn't adding much to my collection. Great to see through this purchase that LIW's excellent selection, price and service has not changed. Mark is a great sales person and backs that up with excellent service. Great job!

This is my first Squale and as suck it took me forever to pull the trigger as they are all similarly priced and excellent. I couldn’t be more pleased with the watch. I was torn between this and the Montauk. I’ll probably buy the Montauk also at some point after seeing the quality and finishing on this piece. As always the team at Long Island Watch are excellent and I can’t sing their praises enough. Awesome watch and my first gmt. I’ve been collecting for almost thirty years and I’m glad I finally found the perfect GMT for me.

Everything at Long Island Watch is always excellent. Shopping experience has always been easy. The website is well laid out and you can quickly find a specific item. It's also fun however to look around and see all that's on offer too.

Nice looking watch with a smooth movement. I was looking for something under $1000 that could satisfy my want for a Swiss made watch until I could afford something else later down the road. The only thing I’m not fan of is the bracelet; this particular bracelet, when locking the clasp, is extremely stiff. So stiff that it’s marring the clasp itself. I understand it’s a friction bracelet but it seems a little odd that much damage had occurred after only one day of wearing it. Maybe that’s the way it’s designed; if it’s not designed that way, maybe someone will reach out to me and try to figure it out. Other than that, I love the watch and will continue to do business with everyone at Long Island Watch!

I have always wanted to buy a Squale, and indeed I am. Build quality and accuracy are up there with the big boys.

I asked a follow up question about packaging, and never received a response.

Everything was clear and the information I needed was available.
Joseph O - 06/23/2022
Exactly what I wanted. Solid build quality, built like a tank including the ss bracelet. My first Squale and my only GMT. Great alignment with the bezel, second hand... This truly is a great value, especially nowadays with the inflation rate at 9%. It's refreshing to see Squale's prices the same. If you are in the market for a diver, be sure to compare with what Squale has to offer here at Long Island Watches. This dealer has excellent customer service and quick shipping.

Squale is a storied brand that still churns out some quality watches. The 1545 case is a no brainer, could with an awesome jubilee bracelet with female endlinks makes this watch super comfortable and a tad flashy.

Always an awesome experience!

My first Squale and GMT. I was looking at another brand but when it came down to value/price this one takes the cake. Great looking time piece and wears very well. Had a bit of pause between the Pepsi and this Coke but once it got here I knew I had made the right choice. Looks good with anything. Added the milanese band for some variety. Just a couple small notes-the lume is weak and the wetsuit link is a little busy. when it's stowed the clasp doesn't rest completely flat and catches on stuff. Otherwise I really like it. This marks my 9th watch and other accessories from LIW and I've already got my eye on others. Thanks Marc.

Great selection, awesome prices and nice website. Just a little glish with a 5% coupon.
Sam C - 02/22/2022
Ruggedly built, heavy watch without being too big. GMT functionality in a diver's watch frame. My second Squale for a reason: excellent time accuracy, sturdy, and understated elegance. A watch brand that 'watch guys' recognize. 'Manly jewelry', as my wife says!

Smooth and easy. Prompt shipping. Marc and the fellas do a good job!

This is a very nice watch.

Ted - 01/02/2022
Great fit and finish, GMT complication, and 300m water resistance without being overbuilt. A refined appearance at a price that you can use as an everyday/travel watch.

Received the watch within days of ordering. Marc was very quick in answering any questions I had. Great customer service
Mario S - 11/14/2021
Had I gotten, this watch, years ago, wouldn't have bothered with the other watches I bought. Fits me perfectly. Looks good, wear comfortably.

Easy

There once was a day when I was on the lookout for a "Batman” GMT I could afford. Then Marc here at LIW released the Squale "Blueberry" GMT, and though it wasn't a “Batman", I still bought it (and reviewed it). It quickly became my favourite watch. A week after "Blueberry" arrived (which took a month because Customs unexpectedly held it up, just to annoy me I'm sure), Marc released this. Once again, it wasn't the "Batman” I was looking for, but I still bought it! Now I can't decide whether this "Coke", or the "Blueberry", is my favourite watch in the collection, so I’m just going to have to keep them both! They are amazing watches to wear and mine are perfect! I couldn't be happier with them, just like the sales and service from Marc and LIW. Two things are for sure - I prefer Coke over Pepsi, and my thirst for a “Batman” GMT has been quenched! But, if Marc and Squale decide to put one out, I might just end up with a third GMT.
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.
