Review on Wrist watch ORIENT AA02005D mechanical, waterproof, self-winding, illuminated hands by Micha Kowalski Czajo ᠌

If you appreciate Japanese brands and Orient in particular, this is a fantastic timepiece for the price. However, if American alternatives were available at a lower price, I would choose them. The pluses: 1. Cost-effectiveness. I can attest to the accuracy claims made for this Japanese motion. Second, it offers a lot of defense against water. Date and day of the week windows on the dial provide further information. The watch will not fall off your hand thanks to the bracelet's several clasps. The style is irrelevant, as everyone has different tastes, but the watch seems to be extremely adaptable, as it can be worn with both a dress shirt and a pair of sweatpants. This is a major benefit if you do not intend to purchase multiple watches. As for the negatives: The bezel is difficult to turn. If your hands aren't completely dry, you may need to remove your watch. It's possible that these issues are unique to my copy or that the bezel may loosen up with use. Second, the 12 o'clock luminous dot on the bezel sticks out above the rest of the surface and, to me, looks like it belongs on the exterior of the watch case. It appears to be wiped by contact with any surface at all. This will drive you crazy if you strive for perfection.
