| | Description | About Orient: Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. However, the history of Orient Watch really dates back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida, the founder of Orient, opened a wholesale watch store in Ueno, Japan. Orient Watch has always focused on mechanical watches, primarily automatic watches with its own in-house automatic movements Orient was once part of the "Big Three" watch companies in Japan along with Citizen and Seiko. In the 70s, when mechanical watch companies faced hardship from the mass introduction of inexpensive quartz watches, Citizen and Seiko took the path of mass producing quartz watches, Orient stuck with what it did best, making mechanical watches. Today, Seiko owns a controlling stake in Orient. Orient, however, continues to make its own mechanical movements. For its quartz models, it uses Seiko's quartz movements. What sets Orient apart from other watch companies is really the fact that Orient has always been focusing on making its mechanical movements better and more reliable. It is unusual today to find a watch company that makes its own movement selling watches at prices offered by Orient. Most of the watch companies that do make in-house movements are big name specialized watch companies such as Patek Philippe whose watches ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To find a specialized watch company that uses in-house movements selling its watches at prices that are affordable to most people is truly refreshing. | |

 Good for the money, but not top-end Jul 19, 2010
I bought this watch as a gift, so I haven't worn it myself. I did however make
sure it was running properly and set the time and date. Some observations were
that the band feels a little cheap, the watch only winds by movement, not with
the stem. Also with the blue face it is hard to read the day of the week. The
days of week each have a window that fills in with a red dot when the date changes
and then turns to blue when it is safe to change the date / day again. This
blue is almost the same as the watch face, so the day of the week is the one that
doesn't seem to have a dot near it. You don't have to wind the time to the
correct day of week as on some watches. There is a button where a stop-watch
would be on other watches that advances the day of week only. All in all I
think it's a good value for a mechanical movement, but not top of the line.
 Great watch Apr 22, 2010
The watch is great. It holds time better than my old Seiko and it can last a longer time without wearing it.
I recommend it!

20 years of perfect time keeping and a watch that no one will want to steal Mar 10, 2010
I bought this for $35 and because it has what I would call and "Ugly Betty" face, never considered it anything more than a beater. I too had heard the forums raving about the quality of the Orient brand and thought I might dip my toe in. The movement oscillates at exactly the same rate as the Seiko's, slower than the comparable low end Swiss auto movement. The band is a wrapped steel band which pops open at all the wrong times, loves arm hairs and is not particularly smoothly finished.
Orient have decided that no one really needs to see a winder weight spin 'round, and as such have shaved weight and depth by not using a crystal back, sticking with a simple stainless steel back. This lowers the profile of the watch ...think Skagen... and makes it easier to wear. Simple is better... I wish Orient would take note of that message with their extremely busy and rather ugly logo and some "way too busy" watch faces.
Let's cover why this watch gets so much arm play.
The real attraction of this little brute is quite simply its accuracy. Provided you wear it regularly (enough to keep it wound up) this thing is not far off quartz. You expect some deviation with an automatic. With this thing I get none. I'm not a time freak who calibrates the second hand against the Colorado Atomic time standard, but one who has put a month in with this and been staggered to see that the minute hand is exactly in the same place as the radio controlled clock on our wall.
Most importantly, I know I can count on this thing. Better, in a years time when the battery goes on your quartz watch this will still be keeping exact time. Will I ever service it? No. Will it get thrown out when it breaks? You bet. But I have friends in the Asia Pacific regions whose dads have been wearing these since the 70s and have not had a service yet.
Take your thirty five bucks and buy this watch (or one of the other low end Orients with ugly faces). You will get 20 years of perfect time keeping and a watch that no one will want to steal. Then take the money you saved and go out and get yourself some decent dress shirts. The sleeves should be long enough to keep this covered so that no one EVER sees it. Your life will change. You will get to appointments and meetings on time, people will notice your fine taste reflected in your new shirts, your boss will promote you, women will adore you and the world will be your oyster!
2010 05 06 Update
It continues to get arm play. Why? Because of the low profile. I am extremely active and ultimately what weighs less and sits closer to me gets banged less and scraped less frequently. (This from the guy who broke the rotor on his second Rolex twice in the first month of owning it.)
Even more startling is the fact that I have gotten two separate compliments on this watch. Laughing. There is no accounting for good taste.
