There is no other choice
The best dive watch under $500. Period. The red dial is stunning , especially in sunlight. The build quality is terrific and the size is ideal for a wide range of wrist sizes. Orient punches way above it's weight with all their models.

Great watch, great value
This is the best value I could find. Automatic, Sapphire crystal, with a beautiful dial. I like the 5 ticks per second with the second hand. I like watches without numbers, long wide hands, and around 42mm wide so the style is exactly what I was looking for.The band is titanian so which is nice because the mechanism is a bit heavier than I'm used to so the light weight titanian helps so the whole thing isn't too heavy. When I drive in my truck I could hear the band rattle around a little which is annoying. The band also has several micro adjustment options which is really nice to have.The casing is polished but it doesn't seem like the high polish that some of my cheaper watches have had. I would prefer a brushed finish but that would cost more $$$.The lum is really good.The box came kind of hammered looking which deflates the experience of opening a new watch. The dial didn't have a clear protective sticker to remove so I wonder if I got a returned watch. 2 or 3 stars for Amazon, 5 stars for the watch!

Couldn't be happier
My second Orient watch among countless other autos. Like everyone says, this watch punches way above its weight. It has everything I wanted in an automatic work watch. Yes the bracelet could be better, same with the bezel action, but all that is eclipsed by the comfort of the watch and beauty of the dial, hands, and especially the amazing lumes. The power reserve isn't lauded, but after a day of work it lasts longer than some of my autos that claim almost twice the reserve. I bought a second one in case someone I know expresses an appreciation for it and I'll give it as a gift. Amazing watch, especially for the price! I have the red dial and it's stunning but not too flashy.

Consumers are buying the Orient name and movement I believe.
This is a nice watch. I am not a watch expert. I have too many watches but the good news a share of them are the Aragon brand. I have read so many reviews of the Orient watch. This is not an advertisement but a comparison of what I've seen and know. The crown on the Orient is small and I read this in a lot of reviews. I believe that Aragon has seen concerns about this watch and updated the flaws to their watch. A lot of the movements in the Aragon watch are a Japanese movement the NH35 and others depending on what features they have. Again I will say minus the crown, this is a nice watch and the cost is in the name and movement. The Aragon watch for the cost, various options, fit and finish lacks nothing i believe in comparison.

Value
This watch is a great value for the money. It looks beautiful and wears well. On paper the watch is bigger than I'd usually wear, but in reality it wears very well. It wears more like a 40mm watch due to the short lug to lug width and the lugs also curve down allowing it to almost contour the wrist. The bezel is aligned correctly and clicks and rotates smoothly. The movement keeps time very accurately. It advertises a 40 hour power reserve and I'm inclined to believe it. After taking it off at night, it's still ticking in the morning...something my Seiko 5 watches never do, even after wearing them for 12+ hours. My only complaint is the crown is too small and difficult to grasp and turn. I also replaced the bracelet with a Strapcode (Miltat) Super J bracelet. It made the watch even nicer.Can't go wrong. A great value. You'll be happy with this watch.

Orient Kamasu - The Spec Beast from the East
If you're looking at this watch, there's a good chance that you've been seeing all these positive reviews on the Kamasu. I don't blame you for wanting to see it for yourself. This watch is what I consider to be THE watch that every watch enthusiast should own. Even if you're not into watches and you happen to see this watch and this review, there's a good chance that you'll end up buying this when all is said and done.I got the red dial variant of the Kamasu. The first thing I noticed when unboxing was how rich the red dial was. Red dials are not very common and this red dial is what I consider to be perfect. The dial has a sunburst to it that comes alive in the light and gives off rich hues of red. The 120-click unidirectional bezel rotates counterclockwise and on mine, was a bit stiff at first but eventually broke in and gives a satisfying click with the stiffness substantially subsided yet will not turn by mistake. The bezel features an aluminum bezel insert and having the dive bezel makes perfect sense as this watch has a 200m water resistance rating. It's not ISO 6425 rated, but you can certainly get away with the occasional rain shower or spilled drink. Powering this bad boy is Orient's in-house F6922 movement with 21,600 beats per hour/3Hz with the accuracy range being -15 to +25 seconds per day while mine is +5 seconds a day. Your mileage may vary. It features a day/date complication with an English/Spanish day wheel. One thing to be aware of is to avoid setting the day/date between the hours of 9pm-3am so as to not damage the movement. Power reserve is 40 hours before you need to wind it and set it up again. Sitting on top of the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with no anti-reflective coating on it. The inclusion of sapphire makes this watch a great value for the money you pay for. Despite the lack of AR coating on the crystal, this watch is very easy to read at a glance. My only gripe is the bracelet. While perfectly serviceable, it comes with hollow end links and rattles/squeaks slightly when wearing it. This wasn't a problem for very long as I swapped it out for a Strapcode Super-J bracelet, but apart from that, the default bracelet features solid links and a foldover clasp with a flip lock and four positions of microadjustment for that perfect fit.This watch is a spec monster. It has all the goodies that you would want in a watch and will perfectly serve as your next tool watch. I love this watch so much, I also purchased the green dial variant. No matter your color choice or what watches you like to gather, this Orient Kamasu has a spot in everybody's collection, whether you know it or not. The Spec Beast From the East. Japan's hot value diver. This is probably the only tool watch you will ever need.
