ORIENT RN-TX0201L Metal Band SPORTS Diver Design Mako Japan Import NEW

If you search reviews of watches, the Seiko Speedmaster solar panda gets all kinds of hype since its release a couple of years ago. This watch beats it on many important specs and yet costs half as much (or even less). Things I like that the more expensive Seiko lacks: -Sapphire crystal (not mineral crystal) -200m water resistance (not 100m) -beveled finishing around the sub-dials (a glint of shiny metal rather than a straight cut through the dial -lumed markers at all hours (Seiko had only 4, though a later version added more) The one thing that Seiko definitely did better is the bracelet, but neither bracelet is very good. These watches are more comfortable and look great with a good rubber or other strap, so I had no problem just dropping this bracelet in the bin. The watch looks great. It's almost impossible to capture the sunburst effect on the dial with a photo, but you can see it in person for sure--a matter of taste whether that's a good thing. The lume is fantastic. If my room is dark, I can read this watch all night long. I also get a lot of compliments when I first walk into a room from being outside, as the lume is noticeable even in a lit space. It seems to catch the eye of bartenders for just this reason. LOL My only beefs: The hands are easy to read when I have my glasses on, but in low light if I'm not wearing readers, sometimes it's hard to read because the white-lumed hands blur into the dial too much for me. In the dark or wearing glasses this is not an issue. Similarly, the hands on the sub dials could use a little more contrast as well. They can be hard to see in low light. Otherwise, this watch is not getting nearly the attention it deserves. Solar quartz movement is super reliable and accurate--so far I can't find any deviation since I first got it a few weeks ago and I LOVE not having to replace a batter any time in the next...oh...10 to 20 years or more?

Holy smokes! Worth every penny and then some. This watch is a beauty!

I am wearing this watch right now and after having it a few months, I can honestly say it is one of the best watches I own. The automatic movement is wonderful. I've gone 3-4 days without wearing it and it held time flawlessly. I have Seikos and Citizens that cannot do that. WONDERFUL watch that I highly recommend. My only real complaint is the date is a little small. I can read it, but it is definitely small. In low light it is almost impossible to see.

Great watch. One of my favorite Orients.

This watch is great, I would give it 5 stars if not for the calendar dial is a little small, sometimes hard to see. But if you don't mind the date as much then you are good. The build quality is really nice, for a "budget" watch this feels more expensive than it should be. The watch dial looks sophisticated and the chronograph works well. Highly recommended for anyone that is just starting out the watch collecting.

An excellent automatic chrono on a budget. This watch is truly a looker. The fluted bezel is beautiful and the dial is truly a stunner. The bracelet has good clasp action and is soft. Unlike other cheaper watches I have, the bracelet doesn't stick or poke and is pleasant to wear. The solar movement is going strong and is serving me well. The bezel action isn't the best, as there is little feedback and it has gotten pretty sticky over the past year. At its price point, you CANNOT go wrong with this piece. I will certainly look to buy another Orient in the future!

Wears very well. The bracelet looks and feels better than I expected.

Amazing value for the quality you get. Keeps excellent time The bracelet is kinda janky but that’s no big deal considering the quality of the watch itself

A reliable timepiece that holds reputation and accuracy. For less than 500$ cad you have a solid watch with more than proven value. This Pepsi can withstand a day at work under sweat, dirt and rainstorms and still get you a modern sharp look when you put your weekend clothes with it as well. Side by side with a 46mm, this 42.8mm you can only perceive it as smaller in a direct comparison. For the hard earning folk out there, there’s plenty of choices, but you never go wrong with a Japanese established brand like Orient, Seiko or Citizen. They’re sharp looking and exceed watches that cost 3 times their price any given day. No need to break the bank to treat yourself with these bangers.

Excelente relógio muito bonito e bom gostei e recomendo.

This quartz chronograph is chic and functional. I am happy with the purchase except there warranty is for domestic Japan as the watch was shipped from Amazon Japan Hope this will be extended for such INT’L purchase.

Overall very nice with great specs for the $$ but dates with double-digits have to be viewed at a specific angle as the window is too small.

Acabamento impecável! Muito bonito e sofisticado. Um pouco menor do que eu esperava, mas isso foi um ponto positivo. O movimento do ponteiro de segundos principal é ligado à função de cronógrafo. O medidor de segundos perpétuo está no sub-dial à esquerda. Inclusive, o corte dos sub-dials no mostrador são um lindo detalhe. Muito satisfeito com a compra. O único porém não diz respeito ao produto ou à entrega, são as taxas abusivas de importação impostas pelo Gov brasileiro. Apenas favorecem o contrabando.
