“I got the Orient Mako USA II in black. The matte black dial and bold markers are unique to this design and very classy while sporty. It looks much more expensive than it is. The case finish is excellent. Hand-winding and hacking are great. Accuracy is great on mine and I can sit the watch down for 2 days and it's still running when I pick it back up. Bezel action can be a bit tight. Marc exchanged my first order due to a very stiff bezel and the replacement is great.”
“I've had a Ray II for 3-4 years now & it's still one of my favorite daily wear watches. This Mako USA II is a more finished version of the Ray. The day & date are centered in the window(the Ray's a little off) & I like the rectangular hour markers better than the Ray's round ones. The Mako's bracelet looks better to me & doesn't pull hair so more comfortable to wear. The lume is good, very bright but could last a little longer. Accurate to + 5 - 10 seconds a day averaged over a couple of weeks; well within standards & typical of my experience with Orients. I seem to have a new favorite & at a great price; Thanks Marc!”
“My first automatic. As I researched my purchase, I would often find a watch that had some boxes checked but not others. This watch has hacking/hand-winding, 200m water resistance, and a sapphire crystal. Throw in the bonus drilled lugs (I like to mess around with straps) and solid end links on the bracelet and this is an all around winner. The price makes it even sweeter, and the sale price and service from Island Watch closed the deal. Very happy with all aspects of this purchase!”
“The mako USA II is a very nice featured watch at a very good price from Island Watch. The screw down crown is the only area that could be improved on this model, it needs to be a little bigger. You can't go wrong picking up this watch at this price though.”
“Watch is very nice, good build quality, nice weight and decent bracelet. I have an 8 inch wrist so the 41.5mm case diameter is a little small but it still looks great (wish Orient did this in a 42-44mm case). At $ 199.00 this was a good investment.”
“Arrived before the stated date! The watch is very impressive... looks and functions beautifully. It really is a lot of watch for the money. I’m really enjoying it... thank you so much!”
