Islander Northport

Anyone here have any wrist time with the Islander Northport? I’m taking the orange dial for a spin. It’s violent haha. Running pretty accurate so far at +3 seconds a day.

Another orange option…hmmm

I don’t have any experience with it, but damn that watch is a looker. 👌

If I wear it everyday, it's spot on accurate. It is my most worn watch and I get tons of compliments. Highly recommend

This looks badass

Can't go wrong with Islander, have 3 in the box. Went with the Bayport diver at 40mm, she's solid 👍

I have one. It’s also very accurate, pretty much within 1 spd on the wrist.

I appreciate the date wheels symmetry and color matching.

I think the watch itself looks nice, and runs fine. I really like the case shape and bezel (thanks to Seiko). I had an issue with the seconds hand touching the crystal and stopping the movement, but that's been resolved. I can't stand the bracelet. I'll try it for a while, then switch to something else. Then I'll try it again, and then switch. I just hate the look of the end links, and the "upgraded" clasp is a hair puller. I think the jubilee bracelet looks a little better. One day I'll have to remove the bezel insert and reapply it since it's ever so slightly misaligned. Honestly, it's one of the few watches in my collection that I could sell and probably not regret or miss it.

Thats totally understandable. I think the jubilee looks much better on these and def a Nato/rubber. The clasp on mine is trash. Not a fan of it and it irritates my skin lol. My bezel is just slightly off by a half click to the left? I can get it sorta centered like it was in the photo. I see what you mean about how it could be forgettable (the watch). The seafoam is the best option IMO.

I just put mine on a ribbed NATO, but I haven't given it a whirl yet. I've tried a Barton's silicone, which was comfortable, but I kept the fat spring bars. They were a tight squeeze in the strap, and would cause the spring bars to let loose of the watch if you moved your wrist just right. If I find some skinny spring bars with fat tips, I'll give it another try. The seafoam is nice, and so is the newer blue two-tone one. That orange one looks awesome, though. 👌🔥

Just got lent a sea foam green one to review for my YouTube channel I am super impressed with it for the price. It really offers a lot and the colors and dial are so much better than I could have anticipated

Nice orange dial - Islander really knocking this one out of the park

A little late to the party here. What are your overall thoughts? That watch has lived rent free in my since Mark introduced it. I need to actually set aside some money and make the purchase, but at nearly $500, I find myself with so many options. Curious how it stacks up against the competition at that price.
