Islander Islander Greenport 39mm Dive Watch with Black and White Dial #ISL-300vsSeiko Prospex LX line

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 report the Seiko Prospex LX line's finishing is a step up from other models, with a case that sits well on the wrist, and some praise the green sunburst dial with blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal as phenomenal. However, owners note the high MSRP limited sales, with some desiring smaller cases and a reduced price, and others experienced quality control issues such as detached second hands and peeling DLC coating, leading to concerns about fragility. On balance, owners feel the Seiko Prospex LX line was discontinued due to pricing that alienated its target market, despite its attractive dial.
