The New Best Mechanical Dive Watch Under $300 - Orient Kamasu Review

The best affordable mechanical dive watch, a title that has been thrown around quite a bit in the world of watches and even on my channel before, but this Orient Kamasu recently has jumped up to make a very strong claim to be the latest owner of that title and to not give it up for quite some time.

Hey everyone, thanks for watching. To enter the $5,000 luxury watch giveaway with eBay hit the link in the description and sign up, I will be announcing the winner on Instagram live on April 9th at 5 pm Eastern. As an important note, this giveaway is for the US ONLY given some tough logistics to coordinate between, so I apologize for all those watching internationally. I hope you all understand and know that I will make it up for my international viewers in the future. Thanks for watching and be safe out there.

Thanks Teddy for the continous straight-forward awesome content! You stepped up your videography A LOT during the last months. Your shots are simply amazing! You're also the only watch channel where I don't skip the intro as you actually wear the watch you present afterwards - really appreciate the effort here! Orient is a great brand. I owned both the Blue Ray I & II and just loved them. I agree that THIS is probably the best diver you can get around 200 bucks. I just stepped up to a Triton a few weeks ago and just love it as well! I do agree with your critics according the crown guards. But I think they can get away with it as they actually really guard the crown and weren't put there just for design purposes. All the best from Germany!

[@scarpia519]

His review of the Kamasu was one of several that convinced me to get one of these gems. I purchased my red Kamasu direct from Orient as I could not find a retailer with a red model in stock. Orient offered a year end (xmas) 15% discount so my out the door price was $261 (Dec. 2020). This watch has amazing style, fit and finish, accuracy is superb. After six days, my particular watch is steady at 15 secs fast or +2.5sec/day. My Rolex Air King runs -2sec/day (the Rolex's time can be controlled by positioning the crown down to slow or flat to speed up. In my first 6 years of ownership (I've had it 23 years), my Air King was never off by more than 2 seconds, not sec/day but seconds from true time). The Kamasu band is a robust 22mm, feels great and fits snuggly when the links are removed and micro-adjustment is set for my wrist. Highly recommended.

[@richardsmegma5081]

Got the red one & loving it. Hard to find something in that colour that's wearable and/or affordable. Also keeps surprisingly good time, which is a bonus (+3 seconds a day).

[@scottbertelson352]

Great video, Teddy. 100% agree with the assessment of Orient. I’ve had a Mako2 for a number of years and continue as my weekend and travel watch. Upgrading to the Kamasu, if only for the sapphire crystal is money well spent. Some viewers may see the bezel and the dial on the blue model reflect color differently and opt for the black, which is not a bad choice, but Orient executes their blue dials nicely.

[@chriswatchreviews4752]

I own a Kamasu, and it goes toe to toe with my more expensive divers in terms of quality. Just can't be beat for the price. Great video Teddy!

[@-ZeitGeist_]

Wow, I was just looking at this watch on Amazon and I decided I'd wait till later and I open my KZbin and I see this! It must be a sign from the watch gods!

I just bought this watch today! Great to see your review is so encouraging.

[@gynechiatrist]

This was my Christmas present to my son in law. As a healthcare professional- he needed a water resistant watch that could stand continuous hand washing without removal. He has loved it. And he is smaller framed- and it’s not too big. So- I think great watch for the money. And great looking too. I highly recommend it to all “starters”.

[@ukaszilczuk575]

I bought it from amazon about 3 weeks before this video was submitted and I have to agree with all you have listed as pros and cons. I've had a Seiko SNZH at that time in my collection too, which I used for a few months. I sold the Seiko to my cousin but exchanged the bracelets before I did that so he got a watch with a new bracelet and I ended up with the one from SNZH which, in my opinion, is a nicer looking bracelet. It's not all brushed but has got polished bits on each link too. I think it just suits the watch better than the original one. I kept the original clasp, of course, so there's no ORIENT-watch - SEIKO-clasp nonsense going on.

[@66mitchb]

Wearing this watch for the first time today. I'm hooked. Thanks for the recommendations and love the channel.

[@1517the_year]

I’ve had this for 7 months and love it. As a 21 year old the SKX just didn’t do it for me. This one is unreal value for money.

[@claytonberg721]

The only way it makes sense to own an SKX is if you are a giant seiko guy or if you want to rip it apart and mod the hell out of it. Stock they make no sense.

[@CroccoC.92]

Can you explain why it does not make sense to wear a skx at your age ?

[@1517the_year]

M F I have nothing but respect for the watch. It’s just how common of a watch that it’s become. The style is simple but doesn’t really look that expensive to me, I know that sounds stupid. But if I’m going to pay 300+ for a watch I want it looking great aesthetically. That said there’s plenty of 21 year olds who love it.

[@CroccoC.92]

[@martinmehus1406]

I’ve never liked diver watches, mostly because of their way too thick bezel and the ugly circular hour-marks. This orient diver is actually one of the prettiest dive watches I’ve ever seen, so that’s for sure gonna go on my wishlist. And yes, I’ve seen rolexes, omega seamasters and tudors. This one looks better in my eyes. Maybe not the finishing and quality, but the design is better

[@jonathanstoddard2081]

Thanks, as always, for the excellent content. Great review of a solid budget diver option. Orient continues their trend of solid choices in the lower end of the price spectrum. I'm a fan of the Bambino myself and keep one in my collection. I actually wore it today paired with my 14k bracelet as I welcomed my first grandbaby into the world. 😊

*I’m so excited!* Just bought this in blue for my first watch in 20 years! I needed a decent timepiece for work that has decent lume that is readable for at least 3/hrs past sunset. It was either this or a Invicta/Pagani… I don’t know much about watches so I hope I made the right choice. Lume is the most important thing I needed in the end.

[@m39fan]

Well done sir! Love my Kamasus, they are definitely on the dressier side of dive watches rather than the tool watch side which allows me to wear them places I wouldn't wear an SKX or Helm. Keep up the great work!

Hey Teddy, love your videos! I think it would be really great if you made videos on "watch companies and the watches that built their success" or like a video on the history of important watch brands. I'm also trying to find a nice watch from the year that I was born (1998) and I imagine a lot of people would enjoy a video where you discuss a nice watch that was released each year! Thanks for all your great videos, they've really influenced me and my interest in horology!

[@markplayford5836]

A superb review Teddy. I LOVE this watch, liked it as soon as I saw it however with several other divers, I was a little hesitant. Then stumbled on a return on Amazon for a steal. Watch arrived perfect like new and I wear this a lot more than my Oris or Omega, just fits great and looks great. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. It’s really all the watch you will ever need... erm did I really just say that? 😳🤭

I got this watch in Japan Domestic Special Edition (blue dial and insert with Golden bezel and Hands) when I was in Japan early last year. Absolutely love it. It looks and wears much better than my Seiko Sea Urchin and SKX007

Just coming back to say this video is what sold me the Kamasu. I got mine just a few days ago and had been wearing it to everywhere. Money well spent.

[@jinglemyberries866]

I did not notice any blemishes at all or bad finishing on the indices on my Ray II, and not a single speck of dust under the glass either, but i am anxious to see when my Mako III/Kamasu arrives if it has the same blemishes/finishing issues as the one on this video. Anyway im glad you did not try to hide or forget to mention it, because especially the 9 oclock indice has a noticeable point which catches the light and seems visible to the naked eye outside of the macro shots. Great video and review Teddy.

[@davidchi1344]

I've got the green and love it. Dials look darker in person so keep that in mind. The aluminium bezel sits slightly proud so can get damaged easily and my bracelet is very squeaky. Overall it still is a great watch and highly recommend

[@davidortega1365]

Great review. I have just begun my watch journey, and to date do not own any Orient watches. I hope to begin with this one. Currently with what is going on, some people may disagree, but even something as simple or even trivial as buying a watch may lend to a sense of normalcy in the midst of all this craziness. We will get through this. Thanks for staying the course. Thanks for postin! Stay safe sir!

I have this same Kamasu but with the red dial, I'm in love with it. People also give me compliments all the time, amazing piece for the price

[@Gasmaska69]

Orient Kamasu in maroon was my first automatic watch that I bought (had manual winding Helvetia and Darwil, but those are vintage). I just love how the red turns into black during night time. Never believed that a red dial watch could be so versitile and easy to match with different style clothing. When new, it ran around +15 secs a day, after frequent wearing, it's around +5 which is awsome. And that sapphire is a lifesaver. Only thing that scratches easly is the braclet and the polished sides of the case. But I don't care, for 200 euros was a steal.

[@MrMagooRC]

Love my blue Orient Ray 2 - I've swum in it, kayaked and camped in it and generally done everything in it for almost two years and it still looks like new. I do like the Kamasu a lot and have thought about trading, but the dial just doesn't do it for me in the way the blue sun burst on the Ray does. I'd like the sapphire crystal, that said I haven't damaged the mineral in the Ray yet and if I do I'll just pop and after market sapphire in. I have to say, I think the Ray's metal bracelet was also superior to the Kamasu's. All that said, I think It really is tough to fault any Orient's divers at this price range, especially for an 'everyday, everything, anywhere' watch.

[@abhibha2003]

I was little sceptical while I was ordering my Scarlet Kamasu as I have 7.5 inch wrist and thought that how bad would it be. I own Seikos which are 37 and 38 mm and thought 41.8mm would be bigger for my wrist. However, I went ahead and I do not regret it at all. I love the watch to its core. It's a stunner in Scarlet and it plays beautifully in different lighting conditions.

It fits perfectly in small wrists (mine's about 6,25"), so size isn't a concern. Definitely aiming now for the blue Kamasu of the first generation showed in the video.

[@chrisgravel7157]

Great review and won't argue with the praise for the Orient Kamasu. I was looking extensively for a daily diver to spare my higher end swiss divers and just couldn't pay the asking price for any of Seiko's sub $600 offerings. They all felt like they should be half the price, no saphire crystals, basic movements, dull dials no milled clasps. Frankly I think for a massive company with their resources they should just sapphire crystal an ceramic bezel current turtles and samuri's and keep the msrp where it is.. I almost ordered a green dial Kamasu and just decided to take a chance on the Triton. It worked out to be under $100 more and had the upgraded pvement and anti reflective coating and japanease diver certification. I am beyond taken by the watch, the design, the bezel movement, lume, finish everything but the clasp and divers extension are unbeleiveble for the price. Many dump on the bracelet yes its not perfect but its quiet, impecable finished and assembled for the price. Would I pay $50 more for a milled clasp? Yes I would and Orient should update this considering its their top diver in the sub orient star line.
