Great looking watch!
Pictures do this watch no justice. Such a nice looking watch for the price, along with a good weight & feel. Seems to keep time accurate, minus a couple of seconds which is going to happen.Bought for my son as a Christmas gift, his new everyday watch!

Way better than expected
Outstanding finish and detail, perfect larger 45mm size. If this is Orients simplest spec WATCH it is truly impressive and beautiful in a simple, stylish way.Worth way more that others in this price range, an outstanding alternative to the Seikos which are too small and too shiny for me.

Like the Tudor Black Bay (red bezel) but can’t afford one?…. Then this is the watch for you!
So, I have a few Orient watches. I usually swap out the bands and bracelets to customize the look. This watch comes on a super comfortable black silicone rubber strap but if you remove it and add a medium-tan leather band, this watch looks phenomenal. I’m not really into large watches and at 44mm this watch is a little larger than I typically prefer (and I have a bigger 7.6”wrist). But, at this price and color combo, I just couldn’t resist. I put the black silicone strap on a Pepsi-bezeled Orient diver that I had and slapped a leather band on this one and it looks sooo good. It reminds me of the Tudor Black Bay with red bezel but a heck of a lot more affordable.This is a really good quality automatic watch for the money. It’s accurate, has a hackable screw-down crown and the lume is strong. The 120 click unidirectional bezel lines up nicely and overall finishing are very good. As long as your wrist is big enough, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

The best value in an automatic dive watch you'd likely find.
The watch is beautiful. The "Pepsi" bezel is lovely. Bezel has a matte finish to it, as opposed to that shiny look. I dig it. The crystal isn't sapphire, but still fine quality. The movement is keeping accurate time at around +2 secs. Although the bracelet has a pressed clasp, instead of a milled clasp, it's still a very nice bracelet and feels very substantial. The bezel has a nice "ratchet-like" click to it, with virtually no backplay. The lume isn't astounding, but we're keeping in mind it's a $170 watch. All in all this is a wonderful watch and if you're on the fence, just do it. You won't be sorry.

Bien, Pero.
Excelente movimiento del dial. Pero al dial le falta en acabados. La máquina es buena. El Lumen es muy mejorable.

Great everyday casual watch
I purchased the black dial/red bezel Kano on the rubber strap, then the blue dial on the metal bracelet.These Kano watches are great for those with larger wrists, especially the rubber strap versions. With a 44mm diameter and 50mm lug-to-lug, they're pretty large watches. The rubber strap is surprisingly comfortable, so much so that I kept it on rather than swapping it with a Nato strap. I have 8.25-inch (210mm) wrists, and it fits with holes to spare.The blue dial watch is stunning. The pictures do not do the dial justice.Pros and cons: Great movement, excellent bezel (a bit tight until you work it in, but no play at all), screw-down crown, and a good rubber strap.Cons: Most of these are understandable given the price point of the Kano series. Mineral crystal, not sapphire. The metal bracelet has a few issues, like stamped metal clasp and hollow end links. But again, that's kind of expected for this price. I was a bit disappointed that the bracelet was so short (especially given that the rubber strap was a decent length). I had to purchase an extra link from Orient so it would fit my wrist. One would think the target market for this watch are those with large wrists, so having a short bracelet was an odd marketing choice.Love the watches and they are in the rotation to wear. If your wrist can handle the size, I highly recommend the Kano.

Excellent watch. Amazing value
I had a few Seikos already so I decided to get an Orient for my next addition and I was highly impressed. Excellent finishing and detail. The lume is comparable to Seiko or Citizen. Bezel action is tight with no back play. Hacking with hand winding and screw down crown. It's a bit large but not a deal breaker. If you're wrist is 7" and up your good. I got the black rubber strap version, but I've had it on NATO's , leather straps, tropic, etc. Definitely a "strap monster" at 22mm. Accuracy is fantastic. Maybe I got lucky but it's consistently around 5 seconds per day which is well within specs for the F692 inhouse movement inside and one of the more accurate mechanical watches I own. I've had this watch for over a year at the time of this review and I can honestly say for the $155 purchase price, it's probably the best value for what you get. Forget AliExpress Chinese homages with off the shelf NH35 movements. For the same money you get an in-house calibre movement, brand heritage, excellent finishing and detail from a watch maker that will stand behind their watches. Buy this watch and you won't be disappointed!

Does not keep accurate time!
I had high hopes for this watch, but am very disappointed. I love the aesthetic appearance and craftsmanship, was expecting the Japanese automatic movement to be superior like Seiko. However, it does not keep accurate time and doesn't seem to self-wind at all. If I don't manually wind every day it gets slow. If I don't manually wind for 3 days it stops. I've stopped using because it's too much work to maintain. I would like to either get a refund or replacement, but I'm beyond the Amazon replacement window and not sure how to go about this.
