r/islanderwatch

Just acquired a new Hudson harpoon I have it on a uncle straps bracelet currently I also have two Hydro ribs ordered from Zulu divers and a white rubber strap coming in at some point hope to spend plenty of time breaking each of these straps in this summer. Hope they’re water resistant. Ha ha.

Three months in with this watch and I'm loving it. It's got seamaster vibes, it's got date just vibes. The linen dial is classy as hell. Hey Islander how about a hi-beat field watch with 24 hr markings and maybe an inner timing bezel? I'm thinking like a more rugged cousin to the globe master. I love your watches!! Thanks for putting out quality and affordability Mark! 38mm is the ultimate sweet spot as well!

My first Islander watch, and I’m blown away. Exceptional build quality! And it wears better than it looks! Looking for my second…. Any suggestions??

How do I remove the bracelet?

All my other watches have a spring bar and my spring bar removal tool is pretty small. It doesn't seem to fit across this spring bar. This spring bar is thick af.

There's also a hole on the side.

Is it removable from the spring bar, or the hole in the side?

We’ve got options, baby. Super comfortable.

I got lucky getting the house and minutes I wanted…the servings didn’t really matter to me.

I know it’s big but I’m lifting and that is just loosely sitting on my arm.

My 7yr old ahead claimed that coin and was siked it was lumped as well. So if I ever do sell this, it’s coming sans coin

First Islander watch, and it is as advertised. This thing is beautiful and feels good on the wrist.

The ratcheting micro-adjust and the screw adjustments for the bracelet just put it over the top for the price.

If I had to nitpick one thing, the case is just a little bit thicker than I’d like, but it’s incredible nonetheless.

First summer with this bad boy. Man I love this piece. The Seafoam green is so eye catching and just makes you think of the ocean. I just wish Islander would release an on the fly clasp!

There was a lot of debating over the past couple weeks but ultimately decided to go with this lovely piece as my first Islander watch to be welcomed to the collection.

I really love the pilot-style/ explorer dial vibe in the SKX case with the 4 o’clock crown. It’s just unique enough to stray from the typical dive watch and I’m very much looking forward to it coming in..!

Just got this ISL-305 in today and wow. I love the design of the case, the bubble sapphire, the dial has a ton of texture and depth and the color is perfect for summer. But the lume is pretty crazy. Well done Marc!

Landed at my door yesterday. Wears really well and feels good on the wrist. Had been looking for something automatic with an exhibition case back, and always loved the field style. This ticked a lot of boxes for me, and the lume is so strong that just a few minutes outside on a cloudy day gives it strength to visibly glow inside. Very happy with this choice so far after waiting a long time to pull the trigger on something.

...OMG!!!

Finallt received my first Islander watch today. I've been wanting of Marc's watches for a while now. My wife, mother and mother-in-law went together and got me this for my birthday.

I'm so psyched! This is way better in person than it is in the pictures.

The bracelet was HUGE!! Plenty of links for a larger wrist. Plenty of micro adjustment slots. Just perfect!!

It may be a while before I order another one. I'm limiting myself to two a year. But can "bet the farm" I will definitely get more.

Thanks Marc...

At 38mm with 43mm lug to lug , do you think too small for a flat 7.25" wrist ?

ISL-317 Calabro GMT World Time

This finally arrived yesterday and I sized it and set it up today. So far, I'm loving it. If I had one wish, it's that the diameter was bigger; it is 40mm, but it just seems a lot smaller than other 40mm watches I have. With my old eyes, I definitely need my readers to see the detail!

All in all, though, it's another great watch from Marc and the team.
