“This is (after getting 3 lesser quality watches) the first real quality watch I've ever owned and it's a beauty. It is a little chunky on my smaller wrists but the overall build of the watch is so solid.
One thing I will say about this watch versus the other Kamasu color variations is that the gold and black vibe is a little bling-y which I wasn't expecting, when you look down at your wrist, because the watch is a little bulky and because of my smaller wrist size, the golden crown of the bezel pops very clearly. This is not a bad thing, just something to be aware of visually. The gold and black make it look like a more expensive watch in my opinion.
I'm still experimenting with straps to find one that really makes it more of a daily wearer. The rubber strap it comes with is great but because it's meant to fit over a scuba suit it's a little big on my smaller wrists and without quick release pins it's hard to just change on a dime. Pictured here is a Barton elite silicone strap.”
“Bought the kamasu because it’s smaller than the other orient dive watches. I chose the black and gold because to me looks different and I have other dive watches in other colors. Looks great can’t go wrong”
“What can I say? The watch arrived on time, was well packaged, and exactly as I ordered it. I especially like that they make youtube videos of some of their products, and they have watches for all income levels.
The watch itself has slightly better finishing than other Orients I have in my collection. The sapphire crystal was huge plus. The styling is more aggressive than my Mako 2. The tooth shaped hour and minute markers catch the eye. This is both hacking and hand-winding, although I find the new Orients to be a little 'crunchy' when hand-winding. Accuracy when worn is about 15 seconds fast. I think Orient finally got all the design elements of the diver just right with the Kamasu. Great watch for the price.”
“Watch looks amazing on Crown and Buckle black nato with gold hardware finish. The black and gold coating is very well done and has yet to scratch or chip. Most buyers appear to gravitate towards the green, red, or blue LE Kamasu, but this black and gold variant is my personal favorite. Blingy but not over-the-top with it.”
“The watch looks great on my rather small wrist...The lume is very good and the watch is easy to read. The turning bezel works nicely. Now my every day wearer.”
