Adding to the Wishlist

Adding this Islander to my wishlist. Any experiences with Islander watches anyone wants to share?

·

I have ordered a couple of things from Marc and they ship promptly and all the orders were correct. I respect the guy and the business he has built.

·

They are great watches for the money! I have 3 Islanders!

·

Marc is good people full stop 😂. Coolest thing is how much of an enthusiast he is too.

Love the Islander Mini-Spork I have.

I love this watch - it’s sharp.

·

Had one.. after a few month, sold it. Was decent 👍🏼

·

Marc is a watch nerd at heart….from all of my interactions with him, he’s a top notch dude who puts out great stuff. Had 4 Islanders, all punched well above their weight. Good luck!!!!!

·

Bought my Squale from Marc. Great price and prompt delivery. Havent added and Islander to the stable yet but they appear to offer great bang for your buck.

·

If you have any desire for an Islander just get one. Insert whichever buzz phrase you want, punch above their weight, value for money, god tier. It's all true. Also, Marc over there has the best customer service I've seen at any company. I own two Islanders and will be getting more.

I agree with everything that Ryan just said.👍

·

I had 5 models at one point (gave one to a friend).

Just keep in mind that a $100 Islander vs. $500 Islander has a noticeable quality difference, so don’t judge the entire lineup solely on one cheap purchase (I say this because I see quite a few people here in WC doing that). Marc is a great dude who make solid watches. Cheers.

One of many excellent Islanders. I only have two so far, but I will end up with the 9075 GMT very soon. Everything from Marc has been on time, and superb quality. His customer service is second to none.

Not nessalary with their brand but with them. The guys and girls at Long Island Watch really are trustworthy, likeable, honest, good people. Dealing with them is a pleasure. Duane.........Black Diamond,WA. 98010

I have known Marc ever since he started his brand Islander. The watches are made in China, mostly with Seiko and Miyota movements. Solid watches with good specifications and wonderful variety of designs. Perfect for an entry level go anywhere, do anything type of watches.

·

Marc at Islander has made some nice dials thru the years. He likes color and interesting design. I have 3 of them right now. Here is my favorite. Islander quality level is similar to Spinnaker or Orient, and the pricing is similar as well. Some good options for sure. Ps- love his videos with TGV (Urban Gentry) those two could not be more different, but they have great chemistry and both have great knowledge of the industry.

I said what now? 🤣

·

Haven't had any experience, but he uses seiko movements so I'd say the watches would be great! He does well on the looks too! Nice dials 😍 and he genuinely likes watches, to me that's better then any company out there lol

Hi there! @ralland we have the best first name. 🤣

Buy one, and you're getting a reasonably generic - but quite alright - watch knocked together from one of the better Chinese factories (presuming you don't go for an Ameriquartz), not dissimilar to what you can pull out of somewhere like AliExpress.

But the vital thing you are getting, above and beyond a generic Chinese watch, is the backing of Marc's company, which is REALLY good. Give it a try if it interests you!

Always nice to meet a fellow Ryan!

·

I have two, well built and definitely worth the price

·

They are a bit thick due to the use of NH35 movements for most models.

But they are fairly priced, well made watches and Marc's service is top notch.

Just have not found one that stuck yet.
