No watch is perfect, but this is amazing value. It also tells the time.

I have the blue dial Kamasu myself and really liking it. Just found your channel for the first time. Good review and great content!

Great review Anders, you raised some good points. Today I got to hold a Kamasu for the first time for a couple of minutes and I was really impressed with it.

One thousand subs right behind the corner! I bet this video will brake that milestone 💪

Great review. Have a red one incoming this Friday, can’t wait.

Great review. Was looking forward to it. My personal Orient Diver history started with the Mako II, Kamasu black and end up with the green version of the Kamasu. In summer the green looks really like green and is very special and in winter time it nearly looks like a black so even more versatility. Beside the pros you have mentioned I fully agree about, I think it is the most elegant Orient Diver although the dial/bezel has maybe too much markers on it. I think it is the overall design mixed with the case size that makes it more elegant for me. I kind of compare the design to the first generation of Longines HydroConquest. Although both watches are very much different the 39mm HydroConquest is overloaded on dial / bezel as well but still looks so elegant. On the crownguards I believe that Orient wanted to keep this elegant design by adding this thinner crownguards, but I agree that this could be solved much better. On the caseback I totally agree, very boring caseback. On the crown itself, I believe that it is a technique used here that makes the crown moving around in the open position. If you look closely the crown loses the safety of the crownguards if you open it up and the non tight action of the crown provides again a little bit more security by moving around. Otherwise it would be too stable and risk on break would be higher. Other companies like Vostok also use this technique. The bracelet is ok but as you said there is enough room for upgrades maybe get a better bracelet.

Great reviews. I wasn’t a fan of Orient, finally got a Green Mako lll after your review, it’s a beautiful piece with sapphire crystal, no issues with the movement keeping time. Good value for money. 😊

new sub here! congratulations on 1k brother, keep going. loving the contents :)

Hi. Great balanced review, i just saw the crown issue you mentioned in another review, so it seems a common problem. I totally agree on the noisy dial, that's why i opted for the Ra-ac0k.

Nice review. The dachshund is a welcome addition. Keep them coming please.

Nice and thorough review. Thank you. I have owned both this and the Ray 2. Considering the $200 price tag, I haven’t been able to find a new watch yet (other than Allie Express brands) that can beat the specs of this watch. If you want a solid and respectfully done daily diver with sapphire for an affordable price, this is still it. I think buying one if these slightly used on a Strapcode bracelet is the way to go. I see them for around $175 in great shape on a Strapcode all the time.

Picked this up not too long ago, love it. Been wearing it everyday. Only problem was that it ran pretty fast. So whenever I go to bed, I just rest it with the crown pointed upward and It keeps the the time almost perfect everyday. Havent had to adjust it for a while.

Thanks for a valuable review, even if I am a bit late to comment. So far I have only one Orient (Star) and find Kamasu very attractive watch. But I will go for the II model, which in my opinion has better looking indicies.

U have a new subscriber!

I didn't think my Kumasi was all that until I compared it to the Bulova 666 devil diver. This besal on the 666 was terrible. The sound was horrible. Now I treasure my orient and won't stop wearing it!

Amazing review, it’s 350$ now in India. Subscribed. Kudos!!

👌 Thanks and congrats Anders ! I am still not sure which one to get btw this one and the ray

The islander from Marc at Long Island watch is a contender

Finally got one (the same with black dial, RA-AA0001B). The native bracelet makes it too heavy for me but I already had a 22mm quick-release steel mesh strap lying around, so no problem (in fact, I've been converting all my collection to either NATO straps or mesh bracelets, with some very few exceptions where the native straps/bracelets are fully integrated). I like how this model, instead of trying to look like a Rolex, really offers something better. Also, my item does not have any issues with wobbly crown, so I guess they had fixed this in the later batches. And, unlike e.g. Invicta 8926OB, the lume and especially the bezel action is a pure joy here. Starting the accuracy measurement but I'm sure the deviation won't be high even in 24/7 wearing mode. Now, to the negatives you mentioned. As for the caseback, i don't know, I like when a particular model has a bit of its own personality instead of a generic brand logo slapped onto this caseback. As for crown guards, they are called "crown guards" for a reason. If the crown stands out too much, what are they guarding then? As for the potential dial overload, I don't think so. Bezel markers are always auxiliary but necessary as a functional element. If there's anything that makes this watch "too sporty", it's its thickness. But again, changing bracelets just rocks in this situation. As for the dial-side logo, it's perfectly fine as of now, you should have seen the mess they had in the pre-Epson era when the ORIENT text was also glued on. As for the date/day wheel, here I finally agree, ideally it should have been white-on-black, but that's not something that Epson/Orient is ready to do for their non-Star models with their current production cycle. Because they won't do white-on-crimson on the red model, white-on-blue on the blue model and so on. At least for this price. I can elaborate why if you're interested.

I see some small imperfections on the second link on the bracelet, are they noticeable irl? First time I came across your channel, you deserve more subs man!

I've been lusting for the red dial Kamasu for quite some while now. Been hesitating as I think the Rays, Makos etc still feel more affordable considering price levels here. The only thing I'd kinda get for this way higher price is sapphire glass and that stunning red dial. And still with a sub par bracelet. You have some good points here on that matter.

Mine came with a defective bezel spring that broke after a month of use, and as far as i am aware its not possible to service a orient watch in Europe. It was a cheap fix as the skx bezel spring is the same as the one on the kamasu. Also the lume looks more yellow in person than it does in videos. But still a great watch if you like the style

Thx for the video, nice watch but it deserves a better bracelet (strapcode) btw what is your wrist size?

How many links do you have at the 12 o clock and 6 o clock, respectively, with the stock bracelet?

Hola! Perdon por revivir el post de mensajes. Tengo este kamasu en verde hace 2 meses, y la corona no presnta movimientos cuando esta libre, tampoco el último eslabón del brazalete presnta espacios vacios. Capaz que mejoraron los últimos kamasu,. El movimiento presnta una desviación de +0.80 seguundos / dia en un control de 50 mediciones con reloj atómico. Me parece super preciso. Al menos el mio! Saludos desde Argentina.

I luv my blue dial kamasu too much.... 11/11/21

just be thankful that the case back is not glass

Save $100 and get the Ray2 or Mako2 if you don't need a sapphire crystal. The Kamasu, Ray2, and Mako2 all have the same F6922 caliber.

Anyone have advice if the crown is very difficult to move.

One sub for you my friend🇮🇩,the best one watch👍

But does it actually goes under water?? Can you dive in this thing

can't go wrong with the black dial. boring, but always timeless

This is kinda weird, your watch is probably defective because on mine, the crown is perfectly secured and steady - and there's almost no gap between the endlinks and the case.
