Reviews

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

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.

Thorn Titanium Sub Diver

Owners are impressed with the quality and looks of the Thorn 40.5mm Titanium Sub Diver Automatic Watch, finding it well-made and sturdy with solid end links. Some owners note the 40.5mm size feels just right, while one owner wishes the watch were thinner than its 13.5mm to 14mm thickness. One owner reports the crown is difficult to screw down, though another owner states there are no issues with the crown or winding. The bracelet is described by one owner as "janky." Overall, owners rate the Thorn 40.5mm Titanium Sub Diver Automatic Watch highly for its build quality and appealing design.
