This one surprised me quite a bit. How do you feel it compares to the original Orient Kamasu? Pick up this Orient "Kamasu II" on Amazon: amzn.to/3LbES5U
It's worth mentioning that the new Kamasu has brushed sides of the case and nice polished lines between brushing. The old Kamasu, on the other hand, has just all polished sides. Orient will soon release a new color variant - dark red (such as in a limited version but with a steel case) and blue / gold (another limited edition).
Ordered this very same Kamasu, can't wait for its arrival. I think that the design is perfect; it has Orient's originality (hands, bezel), origins (gradient dial that reminds of older, 80s Orients) and respect for the historical diver aesthetics (circles and batons). Specifications are great and price is excellent.
@@ChronometerCheck finally received it about a week ago. It's absolutely wonderful and versatile; not too large at all for my skinny 6,25" wrist. The sole problems are the small crown and bad-fitting end links, but these are usable nevertheless. Definitely planning another Kamasu this year!
I much prefer the new markers. And I love the grey gradient dial. I think the new version is a definite step up in design. I'm still carrying a Mako II so it might be time to treat myself...
Why can't they put antireflective coating on the sapphire crystal? As you can see from your video, there is constantly glare. I assume it is a corner to cut that increases their profit margin, but no manufacturer should use sapphire without antireflective coating.
I do agree, and frankly, AR coating is one of the things that can take a watch from "good" to "great". In retrospect, some of my favorite watches either had some sort of AR treatment, or were generally a bit less prone to glare being an issue (think lighter dial watches as opposed to black). I couldn't imagine it would hike manufacturing costs too much, but then again, I'm no manufacturer.
Are the metals the same color tone? I like the after market bracelet on the red, but like the brownish black dial more. Ideally would like to get the after market bracelet you have, and put it on the brownish black dial! Also, is the Kamasu after market bracelet even compatible with the Kamasu 2?
is the lume on the v2 the same as the v1? as it seems like it has some sort of a patina-ed lume which usually dont fare as well compared to the normal colored counterparts
Orient just announced a third generation of Kamasus that feature a dial with arabic numbers. It comes in 4 different colours. My favourite is the one with a charcoal grey dial.
The bezels when new are nothing like the bezels after a few months of use. My Kamasu bezel is now soft and mushy, barely any sound and I can turn it with one finger like a fidget spinner. I am very bummed by this. Does anyone think this is fixable?
I had triton and now i order this one .please can you help me tell me if this is much smaller? Because i dont want to be very small.i have almost 7inch wrist
It's somewhere between grey with a slight brown tint. it surprised me how much of a warm brown/goldish-grey hue it has, especially toward the center of the dial.
So im turning 18 y.o this summer and im thinking about getting the original kamasu in black or this in black.I prefer the design of this one but the brown is a bit much for me. Do you think that i should go with the og kamasu or this one having in mind my age bc i cant really decide .I already have a casio mts 100d that has sapphire and im in love with it cause i ve had it for 2 years and it doesn't even have a single scratch on the glass so im not having in mind the mako ii or ray ii
@@dimper4562 Imo this watch is a little overdramatic for a main watch. Get the Original Kamasu, it's more timeless and appropriate in every situation, and as a first/main watch at 18, you will want something that can serve you well through a variety of situations: from pool parties to job interviews, and the original Kamasu (especially in black) can easily do both.
@@dimper4562 No problem. Btw, when I was 18 (27 now) I was wearing a pretty gaudy gold Fossil watch that I enjoyed mostly because it was a gift. With that said, looking at the Orient's, you're already doing much better than I was at your age! 😁
Hey loved your video! One question, for the days on this watch they dont seen to be the typical sun, mon, tues, wed, etc. is this a different language? or am i just dumb haha
Bro can you tell me any good watch durable under £200. I want movement visible on the front. I have looked into orient open heart one's. Can you recommend more. I would really appreciate it
@@safarijoe8382 it does. It is basically the same watch - same case (just with different finishing when it comes to polished and brushed areas) and same bracelet, just changes on the dial and bezel insert pretty much
I have 5 Orient watches(Mako2, Ray2, Kamasu red, Kamasu green, Kamasu 2021) now. They are all great watches, but if you shake them left and right softly for more than 10 seconds, they all speed up for 4 ~ 5 seconds immediately. Also, they all speed up approximately 10 ~15 seconds after walking for 3 ~ 5km or exercise in gym) Since all of my 5 Orient watches and SKX007 are same, I think it's normal for them. Anybody has comment for this here?
It's known for that while it's an in-house movement technically it's not yhe differnt from a seiko movement that issue it sekio movements is affectionatly known as the seiko shuffle
@@novocastrian_8387 “Seiko shuffle” is not an issue, it’s what you NEEDED to do on the old 7S26 to wind it because there was no hand wind function. I honestly don’t know what it has to do with this Orient movement, it is a different movement…
Hi, can you please confirm if its LE or not? Also does the kamasu 2 have brushed or polished case? Because the older kamasu came with high shine polish finishing.
Thanks for the video I do prefer the circular hour markers makes it somewhat more dive style, but then again I would like to see the dial all black, gradient is just not for me.
The lume is good. But does not last long. The lume on the triton an the orient star diver is amazing!. So, its not great but not horrible. If you want excellent lume than triton an orient star diver.
@@davidrodriguezc3724 I owned the orient star pepsi bezel, the watch is a orient Gem. Its seriosuly a well made beautifully done orient watch. I destroyed the watch by accident. It alittle big yes but i loved it. The crown was so nice an engineered. An the case too. Miss that watch.
Great review orient make great quality watches at affordable prices I have two ray 2s both with strapcode bracelets and after market sapphire crystals and they look awesome plus I have just managed to get my hands on an orient Neptune with the power reserve meter,I've already ordered the strapcode bracelet for it 👍👍
This one looks smaller than the original Kamasu, which is nice for a 42mm watch. I tried it in the store and liked it very much, it is true it looks much better in metal. Still I would like a 40mm watch with 20mm lug width, I hope something will come up soon.
Those two watches do not look simular, not shore what your looking at. I have exactly the two watches you are referring to and they are not the same in looks. Thanks for the vid though.
I know the new model, with the rounded hour markers may resemble the Ray II, but people are calling it Kamasu because it is pretty much the same watch as the older Kamasu, same case and bracelet - just a changed dial and bezel insert pretty much.
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)
Wtf is this kind of comment?. You want rolex reviews than go find them. An be quiet about it. An keep your nasty comments to yourself. Orient is not cheap. The price may be. But the watches themselves are highly built.

Purchased the Kamasu with red dial, simply stunning! So much value for the money!
I much prefer the new markers. And I love the grey gradient dial. I think the new version is a definite step up in design. I'm still carrying a Mako II so it might be time to treat myself...
Haha, have you pulled the trigger yet? From experience, the temptation only grows...
Nice review! I have that red original Kamasu and that's one of the best dials in my rather extensive collection and a permanent family member.
Thank you very much, Scott. The red dial continues to impress - it stands out from any other watch I've ever seen, in a good way. Cheers.

@@ChronometerCheck It was bothersome enough for me that I sold my Kamasu.
@@ChronometerCheck the reason they don't is because then it poaches sales from the more expensive models. Nothing to do with cost
My ray definitely has ar
It's ray3 bishes thanks
The new bezel and round indices are way nicer
side by side kamasu gen 1 red dial looks gorgeous
Are the metals the same color tone? I like the after market bracelet on the red, but like the brownish black dial more.
Ideally would like to get the after market bracelet you have, and put it on the brownish black dial!
Also, is the Kamasu after market bracelet even compatible with the Kamasu 2?
Did they fix the wobbly crown issue in the kamasu II?
I plan to get one , but cannot decide between the teal and the red one.
What bracelet was on that Kamasu 1 you pulled out?
Nvm 😄 watched a little further you said it in the video thanks!
@@23mazintv14 No problem. :)
is the lume on the v2 the same as the v1? as it seems like it has some sort of a patina-ed lume which usually dont fare as well compared to the normal colored counterparts
Mine has the brightest lume of any watch I own. It's like a torch in the dark lol
I'm trying to decide between this one or a promaster eco? Thanks for the info
does the third party bracelet from strapcode fit on the new Kamasu 2 as well?
Yes it fit, It's the exact same case and measures.
My first mechanical 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Congratulations! You made a great choice.
@@ChronometerCheck thank you 🙏
Absolutely love the Kamasu 2 in gray. Just upgraded from Ray 2, also gonna swap the bracelet for the milanese mesh

Orient just announced a third generation of Kamasus that feature a dial with arabic numbers. It comes in 4 different colours. My favourite is the one with a charcoal grey dial.
It's an evolution of their Mako line which predates the Kamasu! Quite cool watches. I have a review about the old Makos on my channel as well
The bezels when new are nothing like the bezels after a few months of use. My Kamasu bezel is now soft and mushy, barely any sound and I can turn it with one finger like a fidget spinner. I am very bummed by this. Does anyone think this is fixable?
Does that Strapcode Jubilee fit the Kamasu II?
Thanks for doing a side-by-side of both watches. A lot of other videos on the 2nd gen don’t. I prefer the 1st gen though. More original.
I had triton and now i order this one .please can you help me tell me if this is much smaller? Because i dont want to be very small.i have almost 7inch wrist

Great comparision! Will the strapcode bracelet fit the new version? Please check that and tell!
Yes, it should. Case is nearly identical except for finish and bezel.
@@ChronometerCheck Thanks for the answer, that might just be the decisive touch I've needed.
I have the same version. It is gorgeous and fits also with strapcode Kamasu bracelets.
Wow, that's a great tip, thanks for sharing. I had no idea!

Not officially, no.

Hard to say. Although I bought mine on the grey market meaning it's possible I did not get the original packaging and you did.
*finally the bezel is POLISHED!! now i can buy them*
Woooooo! It's like they made it just for you.
