Very happy with the look, quality, value and accuracy of the Orient Kamasu
I’ve done a lot of looking and have not found a better spec’d watch at this price point. The long minute hand and second hand make timing easy. The accuracy of the watch I received is astounding - it is +4 seconds over a 72 hour period. As others have noted, the crown is a bit small and I’m not a fan of the highly polished finish of the crown (prefer a crisp machine finished crown for a diver watch). But after three days of wearing this watch I’ve grown accustomed to the shape and look of the crown, it’s almost not worth listing that as a criticism of the watch. The blue dial looks great outdoors in sunlight and under strong indoor light. The dial has a pleasant deep navy blue (almost black) color under typical household lighting. The last 10 years I’ve been wearing, and satisfied with, a $70 Invicta Diver. The Orient Kamasu is a significant upgrade.

Excellent option to a Seiko
Finally received the second watch I ordered. Amazon lost the first one somewhere in the fulfillment center between the loading dock where UPS dropped it off and the delivery lockers.The Tamasu looks and feels great. It's just the ideal weight for a dive style watch. I does have a screw-down style crown, so to set the time/day/date, you need to unscrew the crown first and then pull it out to the first for the day/date and then the second click for the time. I purchased the watch based on the movement and quality described in other reviews. I didn't want to pay more for a Seiko 5 when I could get just as good of quality and accuracy for about $100 less. I haven't measured the watch's accuracy or it's water resistance. Even though it's a "dive" watch, it's not a watch I would take diving; I have a wrist dive computer for that specific purpose. The quality of the band is good. It's not as heavy as some other higher end Swiss watches, e.g. Tag, Tissot, Omega, but then again, this watch doesn't have any comma's in its price tag. The clasp does hav micro-adjustments to get that precise fit after sizing the bracelet. Overall, it's an excellent watch for not a lot of money. I'll update my review on the accuracy following observation.

The best automatic watch for the price range
It's my first automatic watch and i love it. My wrist is 18.5 cm (7.28 inch) and it looks good thanks to lug to lug width. Blue bezel is definetely look fantastic under sun. Illumination is good and it can stay hidden under the cuff of your shirt. It's not so big in thickness, so it's a good thing for me. If you are looking for the best watch for the price range, this is the best choice.

The look is great. Seems very well made.
The blue color is very nice. Easy to read. The adjustment of time and date went well. I think the value is exceptional.

Excellent Bang for Your Buck
The only negative I can find is the bracelet. Hollow end links make it "jangley". But the watch itself is very good so far. If you know of a better dive watch in this price range tell me and I'll add it to my collection. Even then this is a great daily wearer that you won't cry if it gets a little banged up.

Better than expected and i had high hopes
I read all the reviews, watched lots of YouTube videos. And yet, i still am very impressed with why you get with this watch. Yes, the strap is clanky and light, but it’s a 200 dollar watch so i am not complaining. I was surprised with the size of the watch. It wears smaller than the size. Buy this watch. You won’t regret it.

Great watch
I love my new watch. It's a little smaller than I expected and it weights a little more than I thought. But the fit and finish is great. Keeps great time.
