Orient "Kanno Japanese Automatic/Handwinding Diver Style Watch

Outstanding finish and detail, perfect larger 45mm size. If this is Orients simplest spec WATCH it is truly impressive and beautiful in a simple, stylish way.Worth way more that others in this price range, an outstanding alternative to the Seikos which are too small and too shiny for me.

I had a few Seikos already so I decided to get an Orient for my next addition and I was highly impressed. Excellent finishing and detail. The lume is comparable to Seiko or Citizen. Bezel action is tight with no back play. Hacking with hand winding and screw down crown. It's a bit large but not a deal breaker. If you're wrist is 7" and up your good. I got the black rubber strap version, but I've had it on NATO's , leather straps, tropic, etc. Definitely a "strap monster" at 22mm. Accuracy is fantastic. Maybe I got lucky but it's consistently around 5 seconds per day which is well within specs for the F692 inhouse movement inside and one of the more accurate mechanical watches I own. I've had this watch for over a year at the time of this review and I can honestly say for the $155 purchase price, it's probably the best value for what you get. Forget AliExpress Chinese homages with off the shelf NH35 movements. For the same money you get an in-house calibre movement, brand heritage, excellent finishing and detail from a watch maker that will stand behind their watches. Buy this watch and you won't be disappointed!

Pictures do this watch no justice. Such a nice looking watch for the price, along with a good weight & feel. Seems to keep time accurate, minus a couple of seconds which is going to happen.Bought for my son as a Christmas gift, his new everyday watch!

I purchased the black dial/red bezel Kano on the rubber strap, then the blue dial on the metal bracelet.These Kano watches are great for those with larger wrists, especially the rubber strap versions. With a 44mm diameter and 50mm lug-to-lug, they're pretty large watches. The rubber strap is surprisingly comfortable, so much so that I kept it on rather than swapping it with a Nato strap. I have 8.25-inch (210mm) wrists, and it fits with holes to spare.The blue dial watch is stunning. The pictures do not do the dial justice.Pros and cons: Great movement, excellent bezel (a bit tight until you work it in, but no play at all), screw-down crown, and a good rubber strap.Cons: Most of these are understandable given the price point of the Kano series. Mineral crystal, not sapphire. The metal bracelet has a few issues, like stamped metal clasp and hollow end links. But again, that's kind of expected for this price. I was a bit disappointed that the bracelet was so short (especially given that the rubber strap was a decent length). I had to purchase an extra link from Orient so it would fit my wrist. One would think the target market for this watch are those with large wrists, so having a short bracelet was an odd marketing choice.Love the watches and they are in the rotation to wear. If your wrist can handle the size, I highly recommend the Kano.

This watches are not accurate as claimed in description. They run 10 minutes ahead over 3-4 hours of normal wearing. The first month they were running about 1 minute ahead per day. Then suddenly they began running too fast ahead. If they lay face up, then they run ahead not so much, but way more than 25 seconds per day. I didn't drop them.It's too late for me return them.*******************Update as of today 01/17/2023I contacted the seller last week after I wrote this review. He was very nice and offered to mail watch to him. But he is local, just 15 minutes form my place. I dropped watch yesterday at his place. He replaced the movement. I picked watch up today. Will see how it goes.

Looks like a luxury dive watch without being too ostentatiously homage!The strap, albeit rather too long, it is amazingly comfortable.The bezel is rather a burgundy tone of red, very similar than a Tudor Black Bay Heritage Burgundy, except that the hour markers and hands are very different (better looking in my humble opinion) and something that the luxury watch hasn't have is a day/date complication, framed between two parallel white lines.The price is amazing for what you are getting. It has an in-house movement that for the price is unheard off!Only downside is that it comes with a Mineral crystal. If Orient had gone with a sapphire crystal, it would have been the perfect watch! But hey, for that price for a dive watch, in-house movement, and a brand with high level of QC standards, you cannot beat!If you think about its horology history and what Orient stands for, this is a real bargain.Don't over think it, most likely this watch will appreciate in price in the near future, and it will become difficult to procure. Buy it now!

I had high hopes for this watch, but am very disappointed. I love the aesthetic appearance and craftsmanship, was expecting the Japanese automatic movement to be superior like Seiko. However, it does not keep accurate time and doesn't seem to self-wind at all. If I don't manually wind every day it gets slow. If I don't manually wind for 3 days it stops. I've stopped using because it's too much work to maintain. I would like to either get a refund or replacement, but I'm beyond the Amazon replacement window and not sure how to go about this.
