Men's Kamasu Stainless Steel Japanese-Automatic Diving Watch

I’m really happy with this Orient watch. The design is stunning — the deep blue dial looks even better in person, and the stainless steel bracelet feels solid and high-quality. It keeps very accurate time, and I love that it’s automatic so I don’t have to worry about batteries. The day and date display is clear and convenient, and it’s great to know it’s water resistant up to 200 meters. Perfect for both everyday use and more formal occasions. Highly recommend it!

I bought this watch for my teenage son, who has a love of watches and needed a quality dress or daily wear watch. A knowledgeable friend suggested the Orient brand and we settled on this one. I was shocked when it showed up - it arrived in a beautiful and sturdy blue presentation box. My goal was to get a solid, reliable, and good looking watch that could survive and active teenager and last for a long time, all without spending ghastly amounts of money. I would say 'Mission Accomplished.' My son loves it and hardly takes it off. Pros: - Excellent build quality. - Looks amazing and is easy to adjust the band/clasp. - An excellent value - you get a lot of watch for the money. - Not too bad to adjust and set up. - Sapphire crown Cons: - The knob for winding/adjustment/etc. is a little tight and hard to screw down, but I expect it will loosen up with use. - Has a dive-style dial ring around the face, but really is not suitable for dive work. Overall: nice watch and great value.

Nice watch,red dial is simple beautiful, but for me it was too small ,and almost feels like a woman's watch on my wrist. It would be perfect with 44mm case ,other than that it is a great looking watch

Full disclosure before writing - even though I consider myself a budding watch enthusiast, I don't have a watch collection or any other dive watches to compare this one to. In fact, this was the very first watch that I decided to purchase after doing my own research. And so I will mostly be talking about how the watch is like on its own merits instead of comparing it to other watches simply because I don't have much other watches to compare it to. A little context, I own/have owned: 1) A cheap Casio quartz watch that I used during high school (I am an undergraduate student right now); 2) An Apple Watch; 3) A Longines automatic dress watch that was gifted to me from my relatives. I knew I wanted to get a dive watch because I consider it a really versatile design, and I don't mean versatility in the spirit of the Apple Watch, which I would be comfortable wearing in both casual and formalwear, but at the end of the day is a downsized phone on your wrist. Why wear an Apple Watch when you can wear a classy watch? This Orient Kamasu dive watch exceeded my best expectations and I'm really satisfied with my purchase, and I encourage anyone else out there who needs a dive watch or just wants a non-expensive watch that really delivers value to consider buying an Orient Kamasu. I think the value you get from this watch is amazing. First off, it looks fantastic, both up-close and from a distance. I think that's mostly emblematic of all dive watches, though. If superficial looks was my only concern, then I would've just gotten an Invicta. I know it's a hideous thought for many, but Invictas do look (big emphasis on "look") fantastic for a cheap price. However, I really like how well it is performing so far. I estimate that in a 24 hour period, my watch gained about 2 seconds, which is well within what I hope for with an automatic watch, and is notably better than my Longines watch. I am not an expert on the different automatic/mechanical movements of the world, but I did notice that the automatic movements for Orient watches are produced in-house. I've always thought it was kind of weird that a lot of high-end Swiss watches all use the same ETA movement, so I appreciate that Orient is not outsourcing their movement technology to another company. Nothing against the ETA movement, of course - it is a fantastic technology. There are other characteristics that I like as well, such as how it glows quite well in the dark (though occasionally, it "glows" in the daylight and that makes the watch dial look a bit weird with all the "teeth" appearing yellow instead of white), how it uses a synthetic sapphire for the crystal (a step up from cheaper Orient dive watches using mineral), and how there's a nice, functional day/date complication. But what really drives home the deal for me is how I'm able to get all of this for a really affordable price. Performance and feature-wise, this Orient Kamasu punches far beyond what its price point would suggest. I believe that with both Orient and Seiko (both are part of the same parent company but are functionally independent), you really get excellent value for your money. As an undergraduate student, I do not think it's a prudent financial choice to spend my money on luxury Swiss watches, though I hope to start a respectable watch collection in the future. I think this Orient Kamasu is an excellent place to start, and I have no doubt I will be wearing it many years into the future. I cannot comment on the waterproofing aspect of the watch as I don't really swim nor dive and I do find the stainless steel bracelet a bit boring, but I don't have much to complain about it either. All in all, I would highly recommend buying this piece, especially if this is your first dive watch.

Pros: The red dial is super pretty, I don't see a lot of other watches with red dials. The lume is incredible, it stunned me the first time I saw it. The specs of the watch are great; 200M of water resistance and a sapphire crystal for this price is a great deal. The rotating bezel is really satisfying, it has a decent amount of resistance, but it's still easy to move. Cons: This is a small detail, but this watch is not built in Japan anymore. This Amazon listing still shows the "MOV'T JAPAN" text on the dial, which is inaccurate and misleading. I also found the clasp to be quite long, which makes it fit unevenly on the bottom of my wrist. I also wish the micro-adjustments on the clasp were quickly adjustable without tools, so it can be adjusted as my wrist swells during the day. The crystal is quite reflective too, but that's a characteristic of most sapphire crystals. Overall, I'm still very happy with this watch. I've wanted one of these for well over a year, and I'm really happy to finally get one. I can look past the flaws, since this watch is so great regardless, especially for the price.

A watch that gives a lot for the price, nice blue color. The crown of this one is bigger than the first ones that were manufactured

This is my go-to, dependable, daily-driver watch. Simply stated, The Orient Kamasu kicks ass. Pros: -The sapphire glass -screw down crown -200m water resistance -decent bracelet with micro-adjustment holes -20mm lug width allows for easy switching to different straps, -Accurate in-house orient automatic movement - ~40 hour power reserve -Attractive watch face. All hour markers line up. -On my 7.5” wrist, the watch wears well. Doesn’t look oversized. On smaller wrists it might look oversized - but not on mine. Cons: -Lume could be brighter and last longer. -Bezel is less fluid and requires more force/pressure to turn & click. Turns in one direction. Not the worst but certainly could be improved. In the under $500 category, you really can’t go wrong with the Orient Kamasu. I wanted, and received, a sturdy daily-driver that would look at home on my larger 7.5” wrist. Bands can be swapped for more formal occasions. Wears well with NATO-style straps, as well. Overall, I’d give this watch an A- and only wish the luminescence was more bright and lasted longer. The bezel click/turning difficulty is so minor, as I’m not, nor will I be using this watch to actually time dives.

Great Japanese quality, no issues at all. Love this watch, the only thing that I would add to it, it’s the size… my wrist is a bit bigger for this watch. I would purchase it again if same watch could be at least 43-44. Highly recommend, color is so beautiful, especially under direct sun, this dial shows the beauty!
