Ben damn you!! Are you behind Muff watches? I really wanted one! Now I'm right back to where I was before... MUFFLESS! I was told that you're wonderful spaghetti scammetti were responsible so here I am.
When I started watch journey last year I always thought the higher power reserve would be so important but if you wear a watch everyday even 30 hour power reserve is fine
The Mako III are fantastic developments, but i will expect until next year when prices may get down. I'm considering the blue, looks quite different from other blue divers in my eyes.
I've bought my Kamasu II for something around US$180 from Singapore last Christmas, but that may be exceptional. I think that $200 won't be hard to find.
Orient Ray II with blue sunburst dial is a wonderful watch. I own it, it runs perfect, and everything was perfect value wise. I will never sell it, I consider it a success.
Agreed! I've got the same one. It looks brilliant in sunlight and the plain black dial (shown in this video) looks pitiful in comparison. Also, despite not having a sapphire crystal, the crystal on mine is still flawless.
I received today the Red/Orange version (the one we see at 1:50). First time I buy a watch with a 3 digits price... But I wanted to please myself by purchasing some cool stuff. The watch is absolutely beautiful, heavy, the bracelet is perfect and for sure this watch will last for years.
Great video as always Ben. I love these new models and happily upgraded from my old one. The redesigned bezel and crown, the sapphire crystal, the stunning dials - yes they're worth the extra and still good value
I'm totally confused about which Orient is which but that hasn't stopped me picking up sapphire crystal diver models at bargain prices when I see them, I've picked up Kamasus, as low as £130 and Tritons and M Force models under £200. These look good and will probably be available for less in time
@@jmad8163 I bought blue dial on rubber strap from Creation in Singapore. The watch is listed as a Mako 3 but the bezel and dial configuration show it is plainly a Kamasu. I have just checked on their website, the watch is in stock.
A really nice looking watch. I wasn't aware of this Mako III before now. I really like the dial and colour of it. The dial style and bezel looks similar to my Casio MTD 1053's that I have which are quartz diver watches as you know. I would definitely purchase the Orient though if it was 40mm like my two Casio's. Nice review Ben and thanks for showing us this watch.
Nicely done video here and I’m glad to have run on it. I’ve been following Orient watches for only a year but I liked the Kamari specs and dials so much, that I bought three dials (black, green and red) last year. I’d always liked the styling of the Mako II but held off due to some lesser specs, especially the Mineral crystal. Now the Mako III? That spoke right to me just 2 days ago and I just watched this one. Thanks to the dial styling (I love the green and beige) and the Sapphire Crystal, this one’s a beauty! And, Ben, you’ve give this new Mako iteration a well-documented take that helps the rest of my decision. Overall, this watch gets nearly a 9/10 for a lot of reasons. Thanks again for this video!
Orient knows how to make a watch no doubt i like how they market their products too. I think they're the underground powerhouse the citizenry likes. Not a fan of the 2 tone bezel though. God be with you
Is that Winchester where you were on that hight st? I used to live near Winchester when I was a kid so I thought it rung a bell when I saw that shot haha
Excellent informative channel and review. The Mako 3 is nice but it would sell better as you pointed out if the price at least in U S dollars would be about $260 and not at $310 U S dollars. I am a watch collector for more than 25 years and have a few number of the Orient watches and yes San Martin as well and although I do like Orient watches, some styles well I do like the several broader number of the San Martin watches models specially those of the 39 mm SM’s .. Example the San Martin SN0129 G and the upcoming updated soon to be available San Martin SN0144 GX for around $318 U S dollars. Thank you sir for your fair and easy to grasp well put together reviews.. Rick in Florida.. 🇱🇷
Thanks Ben for showing off this new line up. All color variants are really interesting and I've decided to give the champagne variant a try to replace my Seiko SPB143J1, which I've fallen out of love with.
Ive got a white solar diver for 220 euros. Its a nice watch! I prefer smart watches but in the summer, with polarised sun glasses its hard to read them.
That's the crown from the original Mako, nice to see it back. They really cheapened the dial, crown, and lume on the Mako II, so I swapped mine to the II.
Matte colors are so hot right now too. Nice job Epson. Update: Just received my order and this watch is TINY! It’s a very tiny watch face for very small wrists. I’m an average 7.5 so be warned people. I can easily wear a 42-45mm watch face. This says it’s 41mm but wears like it’s 36-38mm. Too small sadly. I went and grabbed a few Aragon’s.
A Beat Error of a whopping 4.3 ms doesn't seem "ok" to me, but rather "catastrophic" on the verge of "defective", even for an affordable movement... but then again, there's a good chance it could be improved by adjusting. The colour is loveley though :)
Have you seen the big mistake on the newly launched orient mako 40mm with the steel bezel? All the pictures online, of all versions show the 26 second marker way out of line.
I hope Ben could make a video addressing this issue. The watch community needs to be notified…people out there are still buying those defective Mako 40 at retail price!
I've been looking for an excuse to purchase an Orient watch since I learned of their existence years ago. I thought this new release would finally compel me to pick one up but I thoroughly dislike the gold/gilt accents on the black dial. Eh, I guess I'll just wait for the Mako IV
I’ve had my Mako 3 w/ Champagne face for about a month now. The dial has no looseness or “play,” so that must be luck of the draw. My only complaint is the bracelet, as it’s quite cheap & “tinny” feeling to the point of also squeaking before mineral oil is applied. I swapped for a silicone strap. Overall, great watch for $240 US. 👍🏻
They really are killing it at the affordable level. I keep wanting to go higher in price/quality then I remind myself how much I love these orients. Why pay more for same amount of enjoyment?!
@@jmad8163 sorry, hard no. Those are nice enough but 1/3 more expensive for a bland design. Again, they look like nice enough watches, but at 30% markup over orient, they aren’t that impressive.
The red dial version is nice......it is about the style these days for me as well as the spec. I now wear a watch to tell the time, stop watches and GMT etc....are ok but an app on your phone can do all of this and much more, so a watch can be for many, a way of telling the time at a glance and of course the styling has to be good !
So this is now more expensive than a Kamasu? I think I'll stick with the Kamasu then. The Mako has a better crown but I don't don't think rhat is enough reason to turn my back on the icon that Kamasu is. Now if they bring out a no date Ray 3 with this specs I will have a serious reconsider
Bro Could you please do a review on watch brand :- Daniel klein, Guess, kenneth cole. This watch brands are really doing great in indian market and I want to know If they really hold any value in watch expert eye, I really looking forward towards your response.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I prefer the old Mako II colours. This new one looks more like a Seiko mod gone wrong, like someone threw it together with the only spare parts they had lying around. If they lose the red accent on the bezel and replace the yellow seconds tip with a silver one I might be interested.
I do like it, but I definitely prefer the Kamau models over it. Also found it rather comical that you gave it an 8.6, are you trying to trigger everyones OCD!? Top video as always Ben.
Maybe it’s me but I don’t see how this new Mako 3 looks any better than the Ray 2 (which I own in black on the bracelet) or the Mako 2-maybe you gave to see it in person… I also think the four new colorways are bizarre including this burnt orange/ brown version. Sapphire crystal aside there is no other material upgrade justifying a 100 quid price increase. The new Mako 3 chrono panda on the other hand is a real looker and offers something different with the solar movement.
I got the Kamasu for about 100$ (best value I have ever seen pending the arrival of a Tandorio that I recently ordered for 50....) I dig the new style a lot too but paying 250 is a 150% up-mark which yeah... NO!
I don't much care for the 3 colors colorway they are using. Almost looks like they just weren't quite able to match the dial and bezel colors. I've got a Ray II in blue sunburst, love that watch. Grip on the polished bezel sucks though.
I got the white dial one for around 220 usd, I am happy with it. Thou the first thing I did was removing that bracelet, and buying myself a nato strap. The bracelet is horrible, it feels finicky and light weight.
Couple items…. 1. Prices are already below $250 on various sites. That’s natural drop after release. 2. Pretty sure mako2, Kamasu, and this watch all have same case and bracelet. This watch really is simply the mako2 with sapphire and new colorways.
Can you go casual swimming with the orient kamasu? Ive gone swimming with my orient kamasu and forget to screw down the crown.. is it still fine? Or does the water could potentially get in. (Swimming dept is around 1.5 meters)
@@BensWatchClub Sure, it's Nami ako Mako XL II (FAC09002T0 for the golden-brown, but there were other colourways). A huge one at 45 mm, if memory serves well.
It looks great. Love that color way and it looks a little more to watch like than my Kamasu(I think that’s mostly because of the dial)… great to see that they increase the size of the crown… Always thought or it needed to do that on there divers… The bracelet stinks as it is the same bracelet that they put on all of their 22 mm divers… I purchased a Jubilee style bracelet with solid end, links, and a milled clasp for 30 bucks from eBay but I know Amazon and other sources have them… It totally transformed the watch… Looks and wears better and looks like a much more expensive watch… I know that I’m oyster style bracelet is available to for about the same price… Definitely going t Thanks for the great review.
On one hand, I really like Orient's more elegant design. I absolutely love how legible and good looking Rays and Makos are. On the other - I find their bezels kinda hard to grip and incompatibility with SKX007 adds insult to injury. Oh and if one strips the thread on Ray 2 crown tube, the entire case has to be replaced since the crown tube is an integral part. And of course parts availability for Orients simply doesn't exist. Bezel click spring? Can't buy. Crystal gasket? Can't buy. The only way to get them is to send the watch to the only "authorised watch repair service" in my country, which inflates the prices at will simply because he can.
I wish they made it a tiny bit smaller (for that minute hand to reach the minute markers, like on the Kamasu), with fully dotted bezel (like on the Kamasu), with better lume (guess what - like on the Kamasu) and out of titanium, of course. That being said, you can't go wrong with F6922 either way. It is humanly possible to regulate it to virtually no daily deviation (even at home, with the help of a software timegrapher, if you leave about +5spd in the dial-down position), making it one of the few automatic movements that I, as a more of a quartz-watch-with-radio-sync person, really appreciate in terms of actual timekeeping. Done this on the Kamasu (RA-AA0001B), not disappointed so far.

The Mako 3 in the red dial you presented and reviewed my rating - score out of the 10 point scale is at 7.3 out of 10
The longer I’ve been in watches the less I care about specs and more about style
When I started watch journey last year I always thought the higher power reserve would be so important but if you wear a watch everyday even 30 hour power reserve is fine
That's why I has a Spaghetti Scametti
@@absar8304and if someone rotate watches everyday... a 12hour PR is as good as a 80hours PR.
Interesting point, I started out that way and then now have met in the middle somewhere
@@absar8304 funny you say that, but on my Tissot powermatic 80, I'd rather have the better sweep on the second hand and a 40 hour power reserve.
EXACTLY the comparison I was looking for. Thank you for the advice.
I have the blue one, because I hadn't seen a watch in that color that was affordable and I liked the look of as much. Been happy with it so far.
Did you replace the bracelet? How is experience after 1 year?

From left to right... Kamasu, Kanno, Ray.

Love that color way and it looks a little more to watch like than my Kamasu(I think that’s mostly because of the dial)… great to see that they increase the size of the crown… Always thought or it needed to do that on there divers… The bracelet stinks as it is the same bracelet that they put on all of their 22 mm divers… I purchased a Jubilee style bracelet with solid end, links, and a milled clasp for 30 bucks from eBay but I know Amazon and other sources have them… It totally transformed the watch… Looks and wears better and looks like a much more expensive watch… I know that I’m oyster style bracelet is available to for about the same price… Definitely going t Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for sharing an enjoyable and informative review. How about reviewing the new Orient RA-AC0Q01B Mako 40?
I dislike orient's jingly end links. Anyone know of an aftermarket replacement?
I wish they'd cut the bracelet down to 20mm. 22 is out of proportion to the case.
On one hand, I really like Orient's more elegant design. I absolutely love how legible and good looking Rays and Makos are.
On the other - I find their bezels kinda hard to grip and incompatibility with SKX007 adds insult to injury. Oh and if one strips the thread on Ray 2 crown tube, the entire case has to be replaced since the crown tube is an integral part. And of course parts availability for Orients simply doesn't exist. Bezel click spring? Can't buy. Crystal gasket? Can't buy. The only way to get them is to send the watch to the only "authorised watch repair service" in my country, which inflates the prices at will simply because he can.
I like all the colors, but I just don’t like the 6, 9, 12 numerals
I wish they made it a tiny bit smaller (for that minute hand to reach the minute markers, like on the Kamasu), with fully dotted bezel (like on the Kamasu), with better lume (guess what - like on the Kamasu) and out of titanium, of course.
That being said, you can't go wrong with F6922 either way. It is humanly possible to regulate it to virtually no daily deviation (even at home, with the help of a software timegrapher, if you leave about +5spd in the dial-down position), making it one of the few automatic movements that I, as a more of a quartz-watch-with-radio-sync person, really appreciate in terms of actual timekeeping. Done this on the Kamasu (RA-AA0001B), not disappointed so far.
