Islander Islander Greenport 39mm Dive Watch with Black and White Dial #ISL-300vsSeestern S450 Ocean Star

The Islander Greenport 39mm Dive Watch with Black and White Dial #ISL-300 is praised for its 39mm size and comfortable fit, with its bi-directional dual time bezel noted as a useful feature for tracking different time zones. Owners appreciate the lumed ceramic bezel and the slightly domed sapphire crystal. One owner specifically highlights the dial layout as a strong positive. The screw-down crown is also mentioned as a nice touch. On balance, owners rate the Islander Greenport 39mm Dive Watch with Black and White Dial #ISL-300 highly for its wearability and functional bezel.

Owners widely praise the Seestern S450 Ocean Star's Yachtmaster-style case and flawless bracelet finishing, with one owner noting the ST2130 movement keeps good time. The bezel action is described as having individual notches but feeling like a friction bezel, while another owner flags the bezel and crown action as smooth with perfect alignment. Lume is a point of contention, with one source describing it as a nice cool blue with ice-white application, while others note it as weak or not matching Prospex standards, despite using BGW-9. The watch is considered a "big boy" ideal for larger wrists (19cm+), potentially too large for 17cm wrists due to its size and non-tapering bracelet. Overall, owners rate the Seestern S450 Ocean Star highly for its build quality and finishing at the price point, despite some reservations about its size and lume intensity.
