Would love a 36 mm, like other commenters, either in this or another Islander. These look great just prefer smaller.

Nothing wrong with quartz Marc. Some great additions to the Islander brand and US assembled. Simple super readable designs with no fuss. Great!

A very nice, simple watch. I love the sterile dial but I think the date would have looked so much better at the 6 position. This would be a great dailywatch but unfortunately I think it should cost around $125. Just one man's opinion. Thank you for all the watch and learn videos.

So glad to finally see that movement in more watches!!! Keep up the good work!! That price with a day/date would be perfect!!!!

This corrects several pet peeves: • Improperly sized hands (ISL-81 hour hand I'm looking at you). • Date ring / dial color mismatch. • Excessive dial text (!) • Weird-sized or nonstandard or undrilled lugs. Any kind of proprietary strap. • Unobtainium battery. • Practically inopenable caseback. Also, it seemed like both the white and black ones Marc showed us both had seconds hands that hit their marks. I'd like to think that's part of the "tons" of QC represented by the sticker. If this were an automatic, I'd say the crown was a little small, but of course here one will almost never need to touch it. Nice job! Can't wait to see the diver & chrono!

Outstanding job on those. Unless my eyes deceived me, the seconds hand is dead centering the indices. Very well executed.

Excited for the Chrono! Good on you Marc for looking in-house so to speak, for your manufacturing.

Classy. The 4 o'clock date is a nice touch and the attention to detail draws you in. Well proportioned and easily readable.

Well done Marc! I’m a fan of watches with white date/ black background. Thanks for sharing them and have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Very tasty indeed. It’s great to see the second hand actually hitting the markers, and the stealth date, particularly on the black dial, is very cool. Any chance of a quartz GMT?

Literally just as I was in the market for a watch like this. Thanks Mark!

Awesome Marc! Love concept of jobs in 🇺🇸! It looks beautiful! I'm with you Mechanical guy but gonna have to get one since it's your brand! Keep up amazing work with your brand!💯💯💯💯💯💯👊👍

I love that it's made in the USA - great job

This is the watch I've been looking for. Thanks for putting this together.

I realize that the back of watches are rarely seen by anyone but the owner. Having said that, the design is simply superb and my hat's off to you for the design. It evokes a military feel. I appreciate the flag!

I love the simplicity of the design, keeping the dial sterile and authentic was a great choice. I just bought one!

The black dial and grey strap with the orange strip is sharp. Hmm, my birthday is coming up soon so it is time to show this to the gf.

Congratulations Marc! This is a great step bravo! 👏🏼😄

Looks great! Can't wait to get one!

Fantastic, Marc! Love the Assembled in USA, the syringe hands and the sterile look. I think you’ve hit a HR with these watches. Continued success!!!

Happy to see you putting them on the elastic straps. I tried one of these elastic straps and love it.

Absolutely love that black dial 👍 thanks Marc

And there’s another Islander added to my collection. Great looking watch Marc.

Very Nice! Appreciate you using the Ameriquartz and having them assembled in the USA. Pleasantly surprised by the price, expected them to be much more considering the US assembly. Really looking forward to the chronographs next year!

I had been looking for a good watch for one of my friends who doesn’t wear a watch every day, and this is perfect start for him. I love the simple design on these! You make one with standard lume and I might have to get one for myself too…

Just love it! Another homerun!

Great retro looks!

Beautiful execution, I love the white dial sand! "Get on my wrist!!"

Very impressive! I love the clean, attractive design. I LOVE the straps and how you matched them to the dials. Really well done!

That is a great watch and I'm glad its Ameriquartz. I'm not surprised at all you would use an Ameriquartz movement! Oh and that is a great filed watch. Love the historical mill specs. I love the minutes on the watch also! I see you keep the watch under $200 USD; nice job. Better than buying a Timex Quartz for that price! The mechanical movement went obsolete in the early 1950s when the electric movement came out! Glad to hear you are coming out with quartz Islanders!

Great to see a cool field watch coming out of the USA,you’ve nailed it yet again Marc and more to come. Now It’s looking like we can come back over to see family my wish list is growing,watch this space.

Another good offering Marc .

They look great 👍🏻 Islander watches are what the watch world needs

nice! this is on my list now :) hope they make them in future years

Excited!!! Can’t wait for the quartz divers. My 3-watch collection are all Seiko quartz. I’d love an SKX013 style in quartz. Closest I have is my JDM SBCM023.

I bought the Bertucci with the Ameriquartz movement last night and it shipped today. Great customer service as usual. Why couldn't I have waited one more day? I wanted to add an American made watch to my collection. I really wanted a white dial. My luck. Keep putting out great watches.

Super great news! Love that Marc and the fam are really trying to find ways to have a "native" American product. 👍🏽

These look excellent

very nice Marc, and in the vid the second hands seem to be hitting the marks too. Islander is just rocking it!

Damn, those look sharp. Adding to the Christmas wishlist for sure.

Most excited I've been about a release. Can't wait for the chrono.

Your islander brand rock's. Good Job Marc.

That is just perfect. The clean dial, the large numbers and that great lume. Will make a great Christmas present for my 83 year old dad. Wonder if my mom would like one?

Oh man I hate you now. I've been looking at the Islander watch trying to decide which one I was going to order and you did this. I finally got it down to the ISL-42, ISL-82 or ISL-15. Now I'm back to square one. Thanks buddy I'm going to go pout in the corner until I can decide what I'm going to do.

Marc, I love what you're doing. I hope we'll see some quartz watches with proper Islander branding on the dial too. I'm sure we will!

Love the reawakening of watch making in the USA. Love the look, only change I’d ask for is the minute hand hitting the outside of the railroad track. That’s one of those attention to detail items that when you see it just nail it makes you smile with pride.

Very cool. 38mm would be cool too. Can’t wait to see the quartz divers

Smart clean design. Logo free. Very nice patina too. A matte metal case would be a nice future addition. Great tool watch. Well done.

Nicely done. Love that you went with the A-11 aesthetic. I've been searching for a simple A-11 style with that railroad track. I know a lot of folks love that strap, but I hate that buckle. Elastic single-pass is better. Good call in drilled lugs. Just bought an ISL-84, so I have to cool my jets for a couple of weeks.

Sandblasted case and 4 o'clock crown and I would have bought immediately!

Ameriquartz! Lol love it!

Will wait for the quartz divers, thanks.

Amazing looking watches Mark (:

Very, very nice!

You nailed the design Marc, and I think it's great that you're contributing to (what is hopefully) a renaissance in American watchmaking. I think taking a page from Vaer's playbook with sizing would be a nice direction when it comes to field watches. I own their 36mm c3 tradition and really appreciate the noticeable step in size offerings (36mm and 40mm instead of the usual 38mm and 40mm). If you made a 36mm A11 I would love to own one. Regardless, I love the restrained design; I've always heard that good design is not asking yourself what else you could add, but what else you could take away. 👍

Kudos to you for choosing Ameriquartz. Great price and the second-hand registration is better than some Japanese quartz watches I've seen.

These look great. Add “USA Assembly” to the bottom of the dial and use the Americhron movement and they would be a grand slam. These are still very nice but aching for that automatic movement.

Very cool watches. If you do one with a creme/patina dial I'm in. Looking forward to the chrono.

The white dial with tan strap is outstanding. It has a real 1930's vibe.

Excellent, classy looking watches Marc--- damn, I need one of those and the new waffle model diver too -- well done! love the fact you went with assembled in the US, great choice and they still have sapphire , nice lume and ar coating too? the straps look perfect-- you check all the boxes--- and $179? wow!!!!!!!

A handsome, affordable watch with quality looking finishing on the case. I have mainly mechanical watches but I have a few quartz pieces as well and I'd definitely wear this watch. Nice job and well done for a using domestic supplier.

Nice!! The black face looks like one of the old Benrus watches. Well done!

That's awesome can't wait for the divers

Great thinking putting the battery number on the caseback Marc. My last two battery changes I had to crack the cases to get the numbers.

Ok, I bit--- black w/ grey & red stripe on the way! Love the look-- I'm in!

Great work on the second hand. My OCD is relieved😀

Well done.

fantastic

My Ameriquartz is my most accurate movement, beating out my Bulova Lunar Pilot. BTW - your field watch looks on point!!!

nice work, keep this stuff up! looks sharp! USA USA USA!

Nice!!

YES!! Order placed. :)

Very nice. I wish it had your logo.

So nice to have the battery listed on the outside case!

The blue strap on the white face is really looks nice on the wrist. Easy to read too! Thanks.

hope to see some quartz dive watches by Christmas please. 38mm Islanders please. Day/date preferred. Thanks and good luck with production.

Looking forward to seeing the dive watches and hoping for a white dial variant.

Wow! I can’t wait to see the chronograph! Please be a panda!

That's an amazing watch I would love to grab one in a smaller size if you decide to make a smaller size.

Really liking the 76

I really want one of those and as an Arizonan, I feel I must have one. Any chance of a future version having 13-24 markings? That would be really nice.

Love that there is no logo. Love you and I am looking to get an automatic islander very soon. Still, as being prior military, the placement of a logo is distracting for me when in uniform. I just wanted a flat no logo watch! But those were rare to find. This new field watch of yours is super cool. I might have to pick up two watches from you now! Thank you for making this!

Nice. You can give LL Bean a run for it's money as they only sell quartz field watches now. Good vid. Keep at it!

I like the look of these, love the US content, and look forward to more varieties. This may be a crazy idea, but I would love to see the day and date complications have lume, at least as an option on some models. I can’t think of any manufacturer doing that.

Don't worry Marc I'm rocking my Timex Expedition quartz filled watch on a olive green canvas strap. these look great

tasty as almost always. Obviously some have been checking out the 30es, ww2 era here. If had my will, I kept it a bit smaller and a screw down would mad it a bit more suited for a war. But this is REAL nice.

You know what would be nice? Something dark purple, or a nice shade of magenta....

They'll probably sell out quickly for sure, nice field watch.

Kinda miss a logo on these, but they look 👍, congrats Marco, cheers from Barcelona

I was about to buy the Timex field watch but this is nice, I do like the 24 markers on the Timex, but this looks good too.

I would love to see a quartz version of your diver line. Would be a great set and forget piece for my collection.

Wry nice Mark - you’re really appealing to the enthusiast while also keeping your range appealing to non enthusiasts - a difficult balance to achieve

Beauties!

Note to anyone .The second hands hits the markers nice and true.I would not call it a field quartz watch but an engineers quartz watch.Sweet.

Love it. Thanks, Marc. Already ordered black dial with grey and orange band. Will a traditional pass-through nato also fit on it using the spring bars provided with it?

While I'm not a fan of 4 o'clock date windows, (I'm a traditionalist in this regard and prefer 3, but would entertain dials with a date at 6 as well), this is a nice, clean design and it's great to see you teaming-up with some USA parts and production! Good luck with this line!

Please bring out more day date watches with sapphire!

Love that it's assembled in Arizona. Sterile dial is a deal breaker, though.

Oh, I bet it would look great with syringe hands too. Nice creation. Hey that black dial with the highlights is clever. A deep grey and an off green would be great dial colors too. Khaki ?

great watches Marc!! i'd prefer one without a date
