Dane, I wanted to like this watch but it felt cheap to me. The clasp is not good and the bracelet did squeak quite a bit and the screws aren’t great. The bezel was mushy and really I did not care for the watch. Again I wanted to like it as there are lots of great color ways but my SKX beats this thing hands down for quality.
Agree. But try the Deep Blue dive watch that you can get for $150 and then do a comparison. I had both at the same time and the Deep Blue is hands down a better built watch.
I got the 04 which looks really special. It would have made the video of a fully lumed watch even better, if you turned the lights off in a dark room and showed off the lume. But whatever. Do you have any new info on the new Zelos Swordfish42s and new Mako3s? Is there going to be 2 types of titanium...you keep mentioning wanting the "Damaskas-titanium". Thanks
Next video.........you'll get that lume shot. Actually a two for one shot. You'll see. No new news on the next Mako or the titanium Swordfish. As for the titanium damascus, or timascus, I'll go into detail on that in the video I make. Or find my video of my ZX7 and you'll see what I'm talking about.
For 20 bucks more over the standard Islander you get a watch and a flashlight, now we're talking! I hope Mark gets more in stock soon, he has a winner here. Do you like this one over the Islander Turtle?
Great looking watch and specs, Seiko along with Citizen should put better crystals and bezel's on their watches i would sure pay more for them to get a better watch.
Really like what Mark is doing with his brand. Review feels a little incomplete without a lume shot but I get that your trying to create anticipation for your next video. 😈💰
Great video Dane on a very cool diver. Dollar for dollar you really can’t beat these Islanders. They offer quite a lot of bang per buck.
100% correct sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.

I hear you......but remember this is a $300 watch. There will be compromises. For what it is, it is a fine piece.

I've heard good things about Deep Blue. One day I hope to get one in my hands for review
A black day and date would look great on this. Especially if the white letters and numbers were lumed.
I agree with you.
Great vid Dane, really nice looking watch with a excellent lumed dial 👍🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned to the next one for a follow up.

I am a fan of the turtles as well as the SKX style, so I can't pick a favorite. Both are great.
I need to get myself one of these to messa around with. Look like great watches. Great review as always :)
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video. The Islander line is a solid watch. Highly recommended.
Great looking watch and specs, Seiko along with Citizen should put better crystals and bezel's on their watches i would sure pay more for them to get a better watch.
Most folks would. Many paid more for upgrades to Seikos and Citizens and Orients. Marc took advantage of that hole in the market.
Really hoping Mark puts a green dial on this case style.
That would be great.
Looks like I am may have to pick one of those.
I highly recommend it.
That is a really nice watch!
I agree.
I got a MVMT what do you think of those and have a good morning in that
Thank you Big 12. I don't have a MVMT watch myself. If it works for you, that's a good thing.
SaleenDriver do you like any fashion watch
No, honestly I don't. For the money you can buy much more solid watches
Where is it made?????
No idea. Movement is Japanese. Could be America, could be China. You can email Marc at LIW and I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you.

Next video there will be lume shot. What Marc is doing is fantastic.
Awesome👏🏻!
I agree!
That looks like a samuri case
Yes, it does.
