Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 with Date

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 with Date for its authentic vintage look and legible dial, with reviewers noting its faithful homage to the 1980 original and durable 41mm case. The watch features an upgraded sapphire crystal and improved lume, and its 120-click bezel is described as perfectly clicking. Some find the vintage-tinted dial and hands' gold tone slightly too pronounced and the applied paint too glossy, while the day/date function draws mixed opinions. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 with Date highly for its authentic vintage aesthetic and robust build.

Orient Kamasu

Owners widely praise the Orient Kamasu for its exceptional value, robust build quality suitable for daily wear, and appealing design features like applied indices and a sunburst dial. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its strong lume, sapphire crystal, hacking and hand-winding F6922 movement, and comfortable, well-proportioned case. However, multiple sources note that the bezel exhibits noticeable play and can sometimes become sticky, while some owners find the bracelet's hollow end links and pressed clasp to be a weak point, with one owner reporting a rattle and another finding the crown difficult to grip. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Kamasu highly for its impressive finishing and features for the price point, making it a standout value diver.

From video reviewers

The Orient Kamasu's compact package makes it suitable for smaller wrists without compromising wrist presence. A notable weakness is that the bracelet is decent but may have some issues, although the reviewer does not elaborate. Reviewers disagree on the value for money, with one highlighting the affordable price and in-house movement, while the other implies a trade-off in value.
