RN-TX0204E Men's 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?

Beautiful chronograph. Solar powered.

It checks all the boxes. A dive watch with an elapsed time ring. A stopwatch\chronograph. Sapphire crystal, 24 hr clock. The heft of a finely made watch. I have several dive watches, but this one fit all my needs. Couldn't be happier! If there is a downside. The hands and numerals are difficult to discern in low light. Although it has good lum, it's difficult to see because of the lack of contrast between the hand and face. A darker face would be more appropriate. It's still an excellent watch, just get one with a darker face.

I am absolutely in love with this watch. The light "Panda" dial looks incredible in person, very sharp and premium. Since it's solar-powered, it's extremely low-maintenance and reliable. The build quality is top-notch, the steel bracelet feels solid, and it has a perfect weight on the wrist. It easily looks like a watch that costs twice as much. Hands down one of the best purchases I've made!

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.

Wonderful watch. The materials and fit and finish are very high quality at this price point. The bracelet was ok but I plan on this being my fishing/boating "water" watch. So I changed the strap to silicone.

Great watch , delivered early

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!

Great watch , good looking, great quality, solar is a must for a watch

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.

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.

Excellent watch for the price
