Kamasu: Size, crystal, bezel insert, markers details
Kanno: Cleaner design, bezel shape, crown
Wish i could mix them for my dream diver.
Maybe one day Orient will roll out something like that. 👍
Just got the kanno cause i have giant 8.5 inch wrists so i really only wear under 43mm for dress watches and tho the lack of marker details and sapphire crystal sucks, its still an amazing watch for the price.
You can customize the kamasu
Really. The Kamasu with the Kanno bezel (keeping the insert minus the indentations) would be a huge improvement.
They should put these 2 watches together and make the perfect watch, they could call it the kamakano!
Sounds like a great nickname!
The Kano dial wins it all.
There is nothing out there like it. Just beautiful at this pricepoint.
Don't listen to this scammers. UA-cam is getting full of these F******.
The Kano bezel style on the Kamasu would be perfect.
I loved the cleaner look of the kano and the size also is a plus for me
The kano probably works well if you want a bigger watch. 👍
I prefer the Kamatsu over the Kano however as others have said, put the Kano crown and the Kano bezel grooves on it and it would be close to perfect.
Yes. Let’s hope Orient is listening to feedback and rolls out the Kamasu Deluxe soon.
A timely review; I just bought what was advertised as a Kamasu, but once delivered is a Kano. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. The red certainly is brighter in person.
These nicknames can get confusing at times. And I agree the bigger one in this video is of a brighter red.
This was a great help. Now I know exactly which of the two I will buy. Thank you!
Thanks for dropping by. Happy to help.
The way that dial reflects light is a thing of beauty, that even luxury watch manufacturers like Rolex and Omega don't have.
Some good observations Andy, about the case size and bezel differences. I bought the Kamasu and it does feel like a 39mm watch.
The Kamasu is already a classic. Right size and great wearability. Congrats!
You’re the best! This is the exact comparison I needed, thank you !
Thanks for dropping by. Hope you found this useful.
Very cool vid and timely for me. I just bought both of these exact watches -- my first Orient -- in the exactly colorways with the idea I will keep one and return the other. They are both within $10 of each other in price at around $200 on sale. The red colorway tends to be a little more expensive by a few bucks over one of the more common colors so I am happy to get it at this price.
There are elements of both that are pleasing. I like the Kamasu's smaller size and sapphire crystal, but the sword hands and brighter dial shade on the Kano and more modern looking bezel may win me over.
I have 7 inch wrists and generally prefer smaller watches too, so that gives the Kamasu an edge going in.
Another factor I'll consider is modability. If one watch has more aftermarket parts that may sway me one way or another.
Thanks for sharing. Always glad to hear watch stories from my viewers.👍
I hope my video is helpful in your final decision. I think you’ll be happy with either watch.
Speaking of mods, I don’t think there’re many parts for these Orients. They simply don’t have enough modding fans out there. Do factor that in your decision.
Thanks for putting these side by side my man!! Much appreciated ❤
Thanks for dropping by! Hope the video helped.
Thanks for all of the fine details. It really helps when choosing a watch.
Most welcome!
Ill order my kanno now, very impressed by your presentation
Thank you! Glad the video helped.
Singaporean here!! Awesome video bro!
Thanks bro! Always good to have a fellow SG viewer here.
I love my Kamasu. Fortunately the crown in mine, while still small, it doesn't have any wiggle or loose movement.
My favorit is still the Ray but i like the big crown of the Kanno
These entry-level Orients are very popular indeed!
I'll go with mineral glass of the Kano because sapphire glass is more reflective and should have a very good anti reflection coding which you don't get from affordable watches.
Nice review bro! Thanks for the efforts and time spent to benefit us watch nerds!
Most welcome! Thanks for dropping by and your kind words.
Great video! You point out very important details in your side to side comparison.
Thank you!
Well done review.
That Kamastu dial is so gorgeous, but alas a date at 3 is deal killer for me so a date/date combo is like a double homicide.
Still, for those who don’t care great-looking insanely adorable option.
Fully agree with your observation.
I just bought the black and gold kamasu, it's a beautiful watch. Would love to see a Kano black and gold. I would of taken the Kano if it had a black and gold version. The 44mm Kano to the Kamasu 42mm would look better on my 8 inch wrist.
Kano would no doubt fit a bigger wrist better. At the moment it seems like Orient are investing more time & effort in the Kamasu (more references more releases).
Plus the sapphire crystal on the Kamasu puts it above many budget divers. I think you made the right choice with your Kamasu. Congrats.
Appreciate you putting your impressions and thoughts into this video. I would have thought that you'd pick the Kano over the Kamasu. Lume shots missing?
Thanks for dropping by. I can’t remember what I picked during the time of this video. It was a while back. But I’d go for the Kamasu today mainly for its size and sapphire crystal.
Lume shots should be found in their invidual review videos. If I remember correctly, they’re pretty decent, but just under Seiko levels.
Dial is same color on both.. but Saphire anx smallest glass diameter mitigate glow ! In red diff is noticeable.
Thanks for the comparison, I'd rock the Kanno as a daily beater while the Kamasu as a semi formal situations.
Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks for the reviews! I have been debating which one to go with, and while I like the size of the Kanno better, the Kamasu is so much better looking!
@@jamieb7644 I would go with the Kamasu!
@@AndyinSG ordered a few days ago! Went with the Hulk version
@@jamieb7644 congrats!
I have a similar model of Kamasu, and I agree the crown is so fiddly to use. Big hands ands fingers will not enjoy using this crown, but the crown guard is welcome.
Thanks for dropping by. I reviewed the newer model with round markers and I thought the crown action has improved slightly. I hope Orient has improved the older model too.
The red on the Kamasu is mysterious. The red on the Kano is obnoxious.
That’s a very interesting way to describe them. Thanks for sharing. These affordable Orients kinda punch above their price tag. 👍
@@AndyinSG aren’t the dials the exact same finish? Color and sunburst the same?
I can’t agree with you more
First of all, how dare you?
Very informative review thank you! If they can use the Kano's sharp-teeth bezel and crown to the Kamasu, it would be perfect!
Very true. Perhaps one day Orient may roll out something like that.
A beautiful watch but even with the small crown , the Kamasu just has more for the approximately same price … the only reason to get the Kano is if you have a much larger wrist 7.5 +not as refined no borders around indices , day/Date. No sapphire crystal, colour not as vibrant as Kamasu
Totally agree.
good review, both watch lacking something that the other have, if they can combine what i prefer on each watch into one, then definitely be on my radar
Thanks for dropping by. You’re right. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds. But if I had to choose one between the two, my choice today would be Kamasu. I think the smaller case size wins.
Very nice review and comparison, thank you!
Thanks for dropping by.
Kano's red looks brighter, but very basic and somehow cheaper than it is. Kamasu's red dial looks really dark and deep. Also 41,8 mm is perfect fit for my 7,5 inch wrist. Saphire glass is the deal breaker for me on these watches.
I can stand mineral glass on quarz watches, but would never buy an automatic watch if it dies not have one.
At the price of an automatic watch with the mineral glass, might as well just go for a quartz diver with better specs and far better finishing.
Kamasu is the clear winner here for me!
Plus, Kamasu is already a living legend.
I guess you’re right about the Kamasu specs-wise. It really has all the requirements of a “good watch”, such as sapphire crystal, hacking, etc.
I do miss my burgundy sometimes. And that teal dial is another attractive piece.
@@AndyinSG what did you trade it for?
@@Gasta1983 Sold it for a bit of money that went into buying and selling other watches. 😹
Good review Sir. I was looking to buy one of these two.
Thank you sir! I hope the video helped.
Very informative video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much!
They are both good looking watches.
I would agree with you!
The Kano in 38mm would be perfection.
Unlikely it’ll happen.
Great comparison!
Thank you!
Very interesting and informative review
Thanks for dropping by. Glad you found this useful.
Great side to side review.
Thank you!
the kamasu bezel has that painted polished look like my seiko flighmaster 🙃
Very helpful review!
Certainly hope you like it. Thanks for dropping by.
Did you mention how the Kamatsu has a sapphire crystal window and the Kano has a mineral glass window?
I think I did. But yes, the sapphire on the Kamasu to me is a plus point. Thanks for pointing out.
Thanks for this greate video
Thank you for watching and finding this helpful!
I wish the kamasu had the exact same dial color of the kanno.
The Kanno does have a brighter shade of red/burgundy. Nice.
Mako 2, Ray 2 and Kamasu have the same case. Kano's case is like a bigger version of this case too. I mean bring some more variety to the table orient. C'mon!
Interesting to know. Thanks for sharing.
thank you
Most welcome!
I love this video. Other chanel review these watch but with their face. Cause i just need to see the watch not their faces
Thanks for dropping by. Wow, I was thinking of showing my face more, until your post. Ok, thanks for liking my style of review!
My kamasu red dial doesn't have that wobbly crown, it stays still. Could the crown accidentally hit something or just a manufacturing flaw?
Maybe they have improved the crown in recent batches. The latest Kamasus Gen2 have a better crown action.
Anyway, congrats on your watch. Kamasu is a nice watch.
Does anyone know how long a orient watch last ?
I don’t mind the the thumbprint. Great video. Thank you
Thank you!
No information to clasp & strap?
Those are very basic, stamped clasps on these watches.
I think non-solid endlinks too.
@@AndyinSG thanks
I can't decide which one to get. The Kano is bigger which I would prefer, but Kamasu looks better and have sapphire glass.
Does anyone knows the glass size on these watches ???
If I may suggest, go for the Kamasu. Better watch overall with sapphire glass and good size.
@@AndyinSG Thank you for the suggestion. I have 2 watches 44 mm & 46 mm
I think the Kamasu looks better, I like the red dial and it has sapphire glass. I am worried that Kamasu might be a bit small for my wrist (7.5")
Do you know the glass size on these watches???
The Kano should have the dial from Kamasu and sapphire glass. That would be a perfect watch
@@Patrick-rd5vh The crystal size is 31mm.
@@Patrick-rd5vh o
I can't get over the small crown on the kamasu
True. It’s a pain if you don’t wear it often and need to reset time. But it’s still a great budget diver for the price.
will i spoil the watch by hand winding in anti clockwise direction?
No you won’t. But why would you do that?
@@AndyinSG im not sure which direction is correct haha. i was told to only set the time by winding in anti clockwise direction. can you confirm if this is true?
@@reinaldtan2361 I guess you won’t do any damage if you set time either way. These movements are quite hardy.
@@AndyinSG thank u
Is it kanno or kano? Or there is no difference?
Bro, I think no difference. Maybe it’s a typo on my part. Haa.
@@AndyinSG no bro, I tried to google the name both came up. So I don't think its typo on your part. Maybe its name differently in different parts of the world. I wasn't sure that's why I asked. 🤭. Not here to correct your grammar. Hahaha
@@andrewchong79 Maybe it doesn’t make any difference. :)
why your hand all sweaty
dude the fingerprint is so clear on the left model that people can scan it in and pretend to be you with fingerprint. I would re-do after quick wipe
😹 Sometimes I can’t see the fingerprints and smudge under studio lights. That’s the downside of high definition filming - the flaws only show up in post-production. But thanks for the feedback.
Best review
Rubber or Nato bracelet is more smart for real diving usage.....
Agreed!
@@AndyinSG ua-cam.com/video/LE6-vSt67XM/v-deo.html
I hate the bezel on the Kamasu. A slight improvement over the Mako/Ray, but it is still terrible. And I don't know why they keep insisting with those indentations, they look terrible. They should've put the Kanno's bezel on it.
I think you’re not the first one to dislike the dimples on the bezel. I’m fairly neutral to them. I just think the bezel is too shiny though. Shiny in a cheap way.
That said, I’m liking the Kamasu more. May do a re-buy.
@@AndyinSG Yes! Extacty it's too shiny, it doesn't look like stainless steel, but rather a cheap metal with a chrome coating. Too blingy and cheap looking.
@@AndyinSG I love the new Kamasu with the green/blue dial and the grey/black dial. Despite them still having that ugly bezel. The two-tone insert is a nice touch, though.
@@BigNews2021 I guess the Kamasu definitely has something good to have such a good following.
Альтернатива - Spinnaker. Kanno - органичнее. Но, отсутствует сапфир
I found the Kamasu wore too small for my liking on my 7.5 inch wrist. The crown is a joke and very difficult to operate. Have a Kano coming so will hopefully be happier with that.
I think they might have improved things a bit with the Gen2 Kamasu. At least the one I reviewed showed some improvement on the crown action.
That said, I think the Kamasu is a really nice design from Orient.
I prefer Kamasu.
Me too. :)
Kamasu dial is very small for my taste
I gonna to get kanno
Congrats!
Kannu is better watch
Muito lindo 👍
Obrigado!
Kano! Assolutamente. Punto di forza e ' la ghiera, e' i 2 mm in piu' che fanno la differenza. Saluti
👍
dude, you could at least erase fingerprints from glass before making review...
For the love of pete, wipe the thumbprint off next time. Gross.
