I was initially disappointed when Seiko discontinued the 013. However, I believe the Islander 38 surpasses it dramatically.

I've got the exact same watch in 42mm. Even though I have a small wrist (a little over 6"), I love wearing a big watch on my wrist. I also have the SK013 and SKX175 (Pepsi version) and I like them both. BTW nice review. I love the dual time function of this watch because I track the time in the Philippines which is ahead by 15 hrs in the summer, 16 hrs in the winter from where I'm at (California).

100% subjective. I own 2, one with jubilee and another one with Islander bracelet... I did the swap and nah! This one (ISL-20) looks killer with the bracelet it comes with. It’s a really low profile watch, and with the bling of the jubilee bracelet doesn’t match (at least for me). Greetings!

I have an ISL-05, great watch! Love it. Not 1 scratch after 14 months. Runs a bit slow though... I guess I need to adjust it. Is this something a novice can do by himself?

I have that exact watch and love it. Perfect for nearly any occasion. I do plan on swapping out the bezel at some point for better grip. Luckily these are 100% compatible with seiko aftermarket parts.

Clearly you have a small wrist. The bracelet is all wrong. The end link extensions make it look bigger .... is this a small watch for bigger wrists ???? ..... looks that way. If you have less than 6 3/4 wrist do not buy this watch .... only if you plan to invest in an extra bracelet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@colestegall98823 жыл бұрын
according to the other comments he has aftermarket end links. he also has a 6 inch wrist which is still a bit smaller than 6 3/4. i wouldnt go around commenting and telling people not to buy this watch based on their wrist size. for most wrists under 6 3/4 this is gonna be fine
