The Best Day-Date Watches - Meet the Islander Greenport

Integrating a day and date feature into a watch is tricky business. For one, you do not want the dial to be too cluttered. Secondly, doing as Seiko does creates an imbalance on the dial. To remedy this, we've got the new Islander Greenport, featuring an awesome vertical day/date feature. Located at the 6:00 position on the dial, it looks naturally placed, and is still easy to read.
There are 5 Greenports to choose from. They are 39mm divers with useful dual time bezels. Couple it with sapphire crystals and ceramic bezels, and you have the makings of an awesome watch. Priced at just $279, this might be our biggest bargain ever.
See all of them today - longislandwatch.com/islander-...
Thanks for watching!

But I do like the overall design of these. I feel it could work with all kinds of complimentary colors, should you decide to expand the line. Great value too.
