Kamasu, In depth review!
This watch is Very Comfy, a perfect size for my modist wrists. it's a 41.5mm watch but it wears closer to that of a 40mm thanks to a short lug to lug measurement.The Sapphire crystal is defiately a brilliant feature for the under £200 range, outclassing all of its main rivals and is extremely impressive value considering you also get a hacking and handwinding in-house automatic movement - not only this but mine is running at an incredible +0.5 seconds a day.With a 200m water resistance you will never have to worry about getting it wet, its perfectly capable of going diving in the sea and lounging in pools.The lume is also incredible, extremely legible and long lasting.The dial is a beautiful sunburst effect, looking just as welcome on a desk as it does in the ocean. This is complimented by the applied indices, date window and uniquely charming hands (especially with the seconds hand and its red tip), all surrounded by a grippy 120 click bezel with an aluminium insert, it feels good and lines up perfectly with little play.Honestly the only drawbacks are that the crown can sometimes be awkward to screw down and the bracelet.Although better than many bracelets it is let down by hollow end links and a stamped clasp, both very prone to rattling, which can be easily fixed with a strapcode bracelet or a good nato strap in my opinion.Overall this watch offers extremely good value with a great movement, 200m water resistance, a fantastic brand and sapphire crystal.I would 100% reccomend this to anybody looking for a dive watch at this price range especially given that the iconic Seiko SKX has been discontinued.The Kamasu is a worthy spiritual successor to that watch and is superior in a number of ways, which is why i now think it should be your obvious choice in this segment f the market.For Q&A from an owner feel free to email me at [email protected]

Orient Kamasu Diver (black dial)
As a fan of Seiko watches, I've been looking to expand my collection and came across Orient and their catalogue of great looking pieces. At half the price of the RRP who could resist? I wasn't looking for over flashy design so decided on a black dial. The specs for this model speak for themselves. 200m water resistance, Sapphire crystal and "in-house" automatic movement with great looks and build quality. It is comfortable on the wrist once adjusted.. the clasp has 4 micro adjusents. Some reviews say that they think the bracelet is of lesser quality but I think it's fine.. certainly better than on my Seiko 5. This watch really is great value for under or around £200. I am so pleased I decided to buy it.

Amazing timepiece
This watch is just amazing if an automatic is what you are looking for.It looks gorgeous and you can really feel the quality in this product.The dial colour is very difficult to get on camera, or looks much more impressive in reality.The bezel is a tiny bit unaligned with the chapter ring but that doesn't bother me that much. I did have to ask a replacement as the first unit had a small almost really unnoticeable scratch in the dial.I don't like the bracelet, but then I prefer rubber straps.It is quite accurate and precise. In 12 day test it ran faster 4 seconds a day, quite decent for an automatic.The other detail I didn't quite like it's the crown, it felt a bit too small for this watch.But even then, amazing lumen, gorgeous look, quality movement and an almost unscratchable sapphire glass.Quite a bang for the buck.No regrets. This is something that can make quite a long last meaningful gift for someone special, easily.Just a wonderful timepiece, I just can't stop checking the time. :)

Perfect first watch with incredible finish
This watch is amazing value for money and looks fantastic on the wrist. It feels very comfortable and top quality. The only downside I can see is the squeaky/ rattling band. However, I knew this would be the case so will probably swap the band out. Nonetheless, this watch is a brilliant purchase and I am extremely pleased.

A decent timepiece
EDIT: I absolutely recommend a leather strap on this particular watch, any complaints i had about this watch with the stock bracelet, completely disappeared after trying a decent leather strap on it.Love the dial colour, goes from almost black in low light conditions to green and even blueish in the sun. Very accurate, maybe I was lucky, it gained 35s in two weeks, that brings it down to an average of 2.5/s fast per day. The watch wears small thanks to it's sleek case, it is on the bigger size on my 6 inch wrist but it fits well.I accidentally changed the date on the watch between 8PM and 4AM once, the movement was not affected or damaged and continues to operate fine.The brushed finishing on the case does not match the one on the bracelet, the bracelet has hollow end links and a pressed clasp, the hollow end links are quite thick so I wouldn't worry about their durability, they do however squeak for the first 3 days of wear, after the squeaking goes away just the mild rattling remains which I don't dislike.My biggest gripe would be the clasp, it is very rattly and prone to stretching, I replaced mine with a milled clasp I found on ebay for £6.The bracelet pulls hairs sometimes but it is comfortable, I wear mine slightly loose.Overall happy with the watch, I do not expect £1000 watch quality in a £200 watch. You may be able to get better value for the money with some microbrands, specifically chinese ones but it is up to you to decide if that is watch you seek.
