Islander

Islander is the house brand of Long Island Watch, founded by Marc Frankel in 2019. Long Island Watch began as an online retailer and review platform before expanding into manufacturing its own watch brand. Islander was created to offer enthusiast-focused watches with specifications typically found in more expensive timepieces, at value-oriented price points. The brand quickly gained popularity among watch enthusiasts for its attention to detail, quality control, and customer service. Islander produces multiple genres including dive watches, pilot watches, field watches, GMT watches, and dress watches. The watches feature reliable movements from Seiko, Miyota, and other established suppliers, paired with high-quality cases, crystals, and finishing. The brand's naming convention uses Long Island locations (Greenport, Manhasset, Port Jefferson, etc.) to reinforce its New York heritage.
