I think the Kano looks better than the Kamasu. if they make it smaller with Sapphire it would be perfect!
I KNOW LIKE 44m IM NOT A GIANY
Cant agree more, i like it more than kamasu, it cleaner and the case just gorgeous, similar with $500++ seiko's prospex. Just swab the crystal to saphhire and it would be a banger
You asked you for your opinion?
@@phantom3292 Its not that big, lug to lug is only 2-3 mm bigger than rolex submarinier
@@wongpantai9710 I totally agree, if it were a sapphire crystal it’s on the money!
I own the version with the red bezel. I bought it prior to purchasing my Black Bay to see how I would get along with the red and black color combo. I still wear my Kanno often.
So your online store sells the Kano for 235USD, excluding shipping. It's on Amazon for 156USD. If I purchase it, have it shipped all the way to South Africa and add the import duties and taxes, it's still just under 200USD. I understand one needs to earn a living and I'm all game for it, I just feel sorry for the people who don't look around and spend unnecessary money. Great channel by the way, I've bought 3 watches from your reviews and couldn't be happier with them!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I think the black dial will give you more versatility . Its retro styling can look great on many strap options .
What other rubber straps would work well with this watch?
As a Casio Duro owner, it has convinced me that watches with 44mm size such as the Kano will look good on my 7 inch wrist. I'll definitely going to get the Kano as my first orient watch. It is a very beautiful watch with the minimalistic approach in design and I love it.
Buy one. i have the limited edition Kano Big Wave and its just so much fun to wear, even though I have a very thin wrist. I lust live the weight and the way it firs just perfectly to any size of wrist.
This design is probably as close as you are going to get to a minimalist dive watch. I agree with you about the hand set. I also like the way the date is framed. If you don’t need ISO certification, this looks like a great watch.
Terry - I agree. I just bought the Kano because the bezel is cleaner, and the larger size will wear better on my 7.5” wrist. In addition, the green that I chose was , to me, far more interesting than other dial options. Thanks for your review.
I've had this watch just over a month now and love it. I'm new to watches but I've somehow formed an addiction very quickly 😅 This channel really helped me make an informed decision. There are things I now know that will make me more confident in my future purchases. Thanks TB.
Unlike most of the comments I love this watch BECAUSE of the size. I have it in black and it’s the watch I reach for the most. I also have a Ray II with the blue sunburst dial and it is gorgeous in my opinion, BUT it’s small to me and gets lost with a dress shirt. The Kanno peeks out of the cuff and gets a lot of attention. The Ray II and Kamasu are both more dress watch size. The Kanno is definitely bold and beautiful.
I bought one of these as sort of “beater”/water sports watch- but I gotta say it’s really impressive. The rubber band is super comfortable and the watch is very rugged and good looking for this money. I’m a huge fan of Orient- and put them ahead of Seiko and Citizen- feels a bit more special for this $$$ and not just a department store watch
I loved the more toolish look. The mate hands and indicies are what i am looking for. And that alongside a classical design makes this watch something to wear on almost every occasion
The Kano is a sharp looking watch, I love the hands, it's so clear and easy to read. It would have been perfect if it had a lume pip on the bezel.
I have this for a long time, solid and reliable. Thank you for doing a video on it
If it had a diameter under 42 like others divers made by orient, a lume dot and maybe a sapphire crystal I think it would almost the perfect entry level diver. Greetings from Italy @Teddy Baldassarre. Great channel
100% this 👆🏼 I was thinking the exact same. Best handset ever from Orient, clean design, decent specs, although adding lume to the bezel and a sapphire might bump up the price by 50-70USD, I’d be VERY willing to pay that premium for a smaller, lumed, sapphired (?!) version 2.
@@sean1e100 buy kamasu
Of all the dive watches I own including two subs, a PO, a Tudor Pelagos and a Longines Hydroconquest this is my favourite. There are plenty of small watches out there for their small watch brigade, but the Kanno is directly aimed at people who like + 42 watches like myself. A 38mm witch makes me look like a participant in a 1930s B movie. Its a fantastic watch!
I love the Kano but that’s ridiculous. I can see taking this over a Tudor - but a sub or a hydroconquest? Cmon
I love this design, I buy the watch tomorrow thank you for the nice review
Enjoyed your review, thank you. Just recieved my Kano with green dial and bezel and I have to say it is absolutely stunning.
Awesome Review, been waiting for this, thank you! Something about the Kamasu's bezel that just makes it look unappealing to me. I think it's those cave thingies on the bezel at the 1, 3, 5 etc. This looks so much better, shame it's so big however.
I fell in love with the blue version with steal bracelet the first time in Kyoto during a vacation in 2019. Two weeks later, when we continued our Japan vacation in Tokyo, I decided to buy it two days before leaving for our flight back.
And how much did you bought it for ?
@@humbalnaeem6039 175,00 EUR.
The location looks so clean in your vids!! Not even 1 dustcorn😂
About a year ago I exited the watch collection mania that plagued me for years. I have been full spectrum from $50.00 Casio Marlins to high end Oris etc. I bought a Kano for it's looks and value for the money. I have a large 8.5" wrist and this watch looks great even on my big paw. It is my daily wear watch on bracelet and is very comfortable. Highly recommended and now you can get one for under $200.
I just ordered this watch to have as one of my daily drivers. I've ordered the tag heuer carrera heuer 02 skeleton which is by far the most expensive watch I've ever owned and probably will own and it's nice to find a video like this amongst all the watch snobs out there rating affordable watches. Thumbs up!
Great review! If you upgrade this to a sapphire crystal and upgrade the bracelet you will be in for a total of about $400. I have done this and it is now better overall, and more accurate, then my Bond era Seamaster... the Seamaster gets about 7 Seconds a day maybe on average and this Orient gets somewhere between two and five as long as I'm wearing it... and it looks better although there will always be a sweet place in my mind for the seamaster! Maybe if it wasn't worth $2,000 in change I would feel differently?
I just purchased thisto keep myself from buying the Seamaster 300 in black!
I love my Orient automatic watches. Nice quality, great value for money.
I don't care what all the UA-cam experts say about Orient, you know, "in house movement", "great entry-level brand", "no sapphire crystal" blah, blah, blah......................the Kano with the red dial is my favourite watch in years. It's gorgeous. My personal preference is 42-44mm, hey, I have a man-sized wrist. I love this watch more than some of my so called high-end watches. Stunning..................................
i have 2 kamasu watches which are great but a smidge small so i have just bought the pepsi version of the kano, orient make great watches
Mine has arrived today. Red bezel version. Insane quality for the money.
I love the minimalist look of this watch. They got the indices, the hands, the bezel and insert almost perfect. Unfortunately it's just too big. This retro-style would be so much better in a 40mm-42mm range. And it definitely needs a lumed pip. If they come up with that I'll be first in line. But at this size I'll pass. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I found this one to big a bit too big for my wrist 6 3/4. My favorite Orient Diver is the Kamasu
finally someone with my dilemma😊 i was wondering what someone with my wrist size would say about the body size of this watch, thanks for your input
I own 2 Orient KANOs very clean looking watches one with a blue bezel and kept the steel strap the otherwith a red bezel and black rubber strap which I replaced with a nice looking NATO strap from sniper bay just ordered the black bezel KANO as it looks so cool
This is a my favorite of the Orient dive watches in this lower price range. The size is a bit of an issue for me though. The bezel is good. The bezels on some of the other Orients really feel like crap which is a big put-off for me
Love this model. Just bought the red bezel one from jomashop at a great price. Cant wait to get it
I think that's the best looking variant among them all.
A dive watch that fill the gap between of Seiko 5 sport and Seiko turtle. 😀
Got the red dail model, loved so much that I bought the black dail too.
Being priced closely to the Seiko 5 Sea Urchin, I find this to have more value for money, maybe because of the 200M WR Feature and Screw-down Crown. Although when it comes to size, it can also be another thing for consideration.
Needs to be 39mm - 40mm case size. Sapphire crystal and luminous pip on bezel. Would be perfect.
I wish they used a sapphire crystal, would be more competitive against the Kamasu
The Kano looks awesome, very Tudor-esque! I'd love to rock one of these but unfortunately the size is a deal breaker. 44mm just looks gawdy on me.
i dont understand why some companies are sleeping. Bring this out in 40mm with saphire crystal and its an instant hit
Looks like my Black Casio Duro! Which is rated for 200 meters.
Great looking watch for bigger wrists. Don't understand the omission of sapphire though.
Man I was looking at this and a Kamasu for a long time and really honestly liked this better, especially considering I have a large wrist, but the lack of sapphire was just a killer for this vs the Kamasu. So now I'm sitting here watching this wearing a Kamasu.
the story of our lives as watch people
Got mine for under 175€. For that price its a no brainer. I realy love it. Classy, sporty and very masculin watch. Would maybe not recommend it for wrists under 18cm. In comparison with Seiko 5 Sports it has a little bit worser polishing (imho) and crystal, but you have no misalignments and the bezel is by far better. Go for it, Boi!
Dont forget that this is a real diver, the seiko 5 (you probably are referring to the SRPD) is just a fashion watch. (no screw down crown, 10 bar WR)
I own it for about 4 years. I got it for 115 dolars in my country, black bezzel.
Awesome watch for the price.
Thx - 44mm is the biggest issue here. Got a 7 inch / 18cm wrist. Maybe you help us, if you take a bit more time for (various?) wrist shots, most of these are bought online 😅
thx a lot and have a good day 🎉
My choice over the Kamasu, but I would’ve loved it on a smaller size.
Looks like a tudor
This one looks great, it will look better without day and date window. More minimalistic.
This is a great looking watch, especially the red dial one. I ordered one online and returned it because I didn't like the band. I then ordered a pepsi-bezel Kamasu and while it's a nice watch I think the Kanno is a nicer looking watch.
I prefer the Kanno size, and the crown is higher quality as well. I regret returning the Kanno, it's a really nice watch and it's significantly cheaper than the Kamasu.
I've learned that it's very hard to judge a watch from you tube videos and online images. Unfortunately Orient does not seem to have any retail presence at all where I live so I cannot see any of their watches in person.
There is a Japanese made version of the Kanno available online from Shopping in Japan. I think I will be ordering that.
47mm lug to lug would be perfect 👌🏼
Hi, it’s actually kanno with two n’s :)
It looks like a refined Duro and I'm not a fan of either. Had a few Orients in the past but the best one so far is the equally overlooked Triton mini pepsi which is like a refined skx.
Definitely better looking then the kamasu but somewhat oversized even for my 7.4 inch wrist.
I'm going to throw it out there... some of the shots you have in this footage make it look like a CGI watch, they are that crisp and clean in 4K.
beautifully shot
Thank you very much, I think it is important to get detailed shots of a watch for those watching as I know they are trying to make a buying decision. This watch gets a lot of credit. Looks very good for the price.
Agree. Orient should throw him a few $$$. He made this watch look great.
I hope Orient would considering produce 40mm Kano. I'd really like the watch but 44mm is way bigger than my wrist.
Great looking Casio Duro hommage
Haha 🤓
Brilliant review.
I'm looking for a beater that's similar to my Pelagos 39 (not too similar like San Martin though).
I'm planning on going on holidays in some locations where I don't want to wear my Pelagos, let alone any of my Rolex models due to theft concerns. This Orient Kano seemed nice enough for that purpose, but it's too big for my liking, so my question is: Does anybody here have a recommendation for a mechanical dive watch that's not bigger than 39mm/47mm lug to lug (Pelagos 39 measurements) and doesn't cost more than 300 bucks?
Like I said, I only plan to use it a few days a year in sketchy tourist locations, I just want something to fill my wrist since going without a watch seems wrong lol and as cool and utilitarian as G-Shocks can be, I'd prefer a mechanical watch when sitting at a table in a restaurant, but it should also have 200m water resistance for the occasional actual dive in the sea.
Any tips would be appreciated!
You got the lug to lug size wrong, it's around 47.1mm not 49.8mm.
yeah good point on that @luke W , i saw another video of a man reviewing the same watch in red, he takes the mesure on the video with a digital tool and it says 47mm lug to lug ! But on the official website of Orient it says 50mm.... I dont get it, wich one is the correct lug to lug size ? can someone help, its crucial to my final decision since i cant have acces to the watch in real life. Thanks
I recently got a Kano and put a Miltat oyster brand on it and looks just great! I'm wondering if anyone has the bezel size specifications? Looking to upgrade to a ceramic bezel!
Have you looked on Long Island Watch?
@TeddyBaldassare Hey I would really like a video on watches used by the military on this channel. I have seen your video on the watches used in the Vietnam War, I loved it. Would really appreciate if you made a video going back to World War 2 and maybe the watches used currently by the military!! Thanks again😀
I actually have a blog planned on the subject. Maybe I can make a corresponding video as well.
@@TeddyBaldassarreReviews I would love the video, everyone will!!! Really Appreciate it!!
Get the Kamasu it has sapphire .. I think LI Watches sell's sapphire for this watch.
is the finish satin... as it looks in this video, or is it glossy?
Thanks Teddy. Also started with Orient and this Kano is one of my favourite watches - while beeing one of my my most affordable ones. It looks fantastic runs with +5 - +8 (unbelievable and I am amazed by it every time I wear it). From my point of view there is no reason not to buy this great Watch.
bought the Kano with the red dial . Love it ! Changed the strap to a rubber diver strap . Looks amazing
Which strap did you buy?
Hola , necesito cambiar el cristal a zafiro y el bezel a cerámica , me podrías ayudar a saber donde los venden ???
so the bezel from the kano would fit the ray ii? i want to mod it
Shame about the glass. Which of the Orient sportwatch has a sapphire glass?
kamasu
Ceramic couronne ???
Wonder why no sapphire crystal....
Is this a better F20531/4 ?
Do a kanno pepsi review.💪💪💪
Hi Teddy or anyone one here that owns this model. Just got mine from Jomashop, great looking watch 4sure. But there's something bothering--- The "Lume". The strong lume it's only present in the hour and minute hands The seconds hand's arrow tip and markers appear to have a different lume intensity that can only be enjoyed when exposed to direct light like a flashlight or light bulb or direct sun light. IDK I think the lume material should be evenly distributed among the dial main components. I may be neat-picking , but find it odd. Anyone's input on this will be appreciated.
This is one of my favorites, I think it is one of the best looking dive watches made by any manufacturer. The size is also perfect for me but I wouldn't mind if it came with sapphire. The Kamasu might be better spec'd but to me it is ugly.
I couldn’t have said it better, just wish it were a sapphire crystal.
Is the crown wobbly when pulled out? Just got one and not sure if it’s supposed to be like that
What exactly are the bezel sizes in mm? I'll buy an inner bezel, I don't know the size.
Would a Seiko aftermarket bezel insert fit?
Which band bracelet I can use with it?
Hey! Quick question, maybe someone can help me out.
I recently got the RA-AA0009L19B as a gift. I have always thought this was the Mako 3, but I also see it listed as the Kanno. It there any difference to these?
Either way it’s a great value for the money and I absolutely love the blue version of this.
Love your channel btw!
@f. m. thanks man ☺️
Have you reviewed the mako 3 yet bro?
IN BRASIL IS ORIENT IS BAD MONTADO NA ZONA FRANCA D MANAUS LOGO ENTRA UMIDADE
What is the brand/model of your glasses?
They are from Salt Optics
@@TeddyBaldassarreReviews Thank you
What straps would go well with it?
I would recommend a simple nato either in grey or in olive green. Black could look good too. I also think a nice contrast stitch dark brown or black calfskin strap would look good as well.
Great video
Thanks for watching as always, William!
The crown falls off on the Kanno..according to reviews and my own experience..
are orient watches made in japan?
41mm with 20mm lugs and this would be the best.
spelled, "Kanno" on Orient's site. Easier to find the video if it was spelled correctly in the title.
Y looove this design more over Kamasu, however the size and the saphire crystal made me not to pick this one.
What’s wrong with a sapphire? Genuinely curious
These are diver styled watches and not true ISO or JIS rated divers. Anyway, this series is fantastic looking but might be a tad too large for some.
This watch looks like it should cost a lot more money.
Is it Orient Kenoww or Orient Kaano?
Kanno
No Orient Kanouuuuu!!!
Orient Kano!!
Cazzo
170 delivered from Joma......
I found my kanno diver for 198$
This would be a good alternative to Tudor pelagos but 43 is too big 38 or 39 would be perfect
@TeddyBaldassare Good looking watch ❤️🔥
Agreed! Thanks for watching, Rohan!
History repeats, Mako XL was a much better looking watch than Mako and Mako II, now Kano and Neptune Lite looks much better than Kamasu. I sold my Mako XL because of the size, still waiting for Orient to make something like this in 41mm territory.
ORINT and SEIKO IS BAD in BRASIL BAIXA QUALIDADE LOGO ENTRA UMIDADE, no ASSEMBLED DO NOT WATHCMAKER in BRASIL
One day I'll find an Orient watch l can actually buy. The Orient ray has a winding crown that seems to small for a dive watch. I like the look of this watch, crown size perfect but 44mm? No.
@@silverghost4206 had a look at the Triton, great looking watch but iits too similar to my seiko king turtle. Looking to for another nice diver witch will look good with rubber strap. Maybe this Kanno or the Orient star automatic (bit hiigher in price).
@@silverghost4206 Mainly the shapes and proportions of the indexes on the watch face

Looks great but wears bad.
