2nd Gen Bambino Version I' Japanese Automatic Stainless Steel and Leather Dress Watch

Like several others who have purchased this watch, this is my first mechanical watch; my first "real" classy watch. At around $130 bucks, this is an absolute value. To save review readers some time, I'll just say that if you're looking for an inexpensive, entry-level automatic watch and are considering buying this, just buy it right now. You will be very glad you did. As far as appearance goes, I cannot believe how stunning this watch is to look at. The pictures and videos you see of it all over the place cannot begin to capture it's elegance. It's not a directly WHITE face; it's more like a light cream/off-white color that looks absolutely brilliant. The mesmerizing sweep of the second hand is hypnotic in its beauty; you can feel the craftsmanship that went into it. It keeps quite accurate time as well; it uses an in-house Japanese movement, which is a big plus for a watch at this price range. The other thing is that due to its simplicity and its sparing of too many complications, the watch is incredibly easy to read quickly; there are some beautiful watches out there with lots of complications that make it difficult to quickly acquire the time; I didn't think that mattered much to me until I got this watch. Being able to tell the time IMMEDIATELY upon looking at the watch seems like it would be obvious, but with many watches, this is not the case. Friends of mine who are serious watch collectors confirmed my purchase as one of the very best entry-level automatic watches that you can buy. Seiko's SARB065 aka "Cocktail Time" or basically any other SARB also falls into a great entry level watch category; but if you want something that looks incredibly elegant, and functions and looks like a higher-priced watch. Definitely worth getting this; makes for a great daily dress watch for the office; I am using the band that came with it, and it works great with a business/smart casual look.

It was my birthday present for my brother, because I feel it's very masculine, but at the same time delicate, handsome, and elegant in its style. Also, since the bracelet is a dark color, you can combine it with many clothing colors.

This is my first mechanical watch, actually my first watch in a decade since I started using my phone for the time. But occasionally I want to leave my phone behind, so thought it useful to have a watch as well. A full wind lasts about 40 hours, but it is also wound through just wearing it. However, as I often do not wear it, it means when I do take it out of the drawer I need to wind it and set the time. For this reason a quatz battery watch may have been a better choice in this scenario. However this is no fault of this particular watch. This watch is beautiful, and the best thing is that it is suitable for both casual and formal outfits. Its simplicity is timeless and will never go out of fashion. The other thing worth noting is the that date needs to be manually again for any month that is not 30 days long. Again, not a limitation of this watch in particular, but still annoying. Keeps excellent time. It has an almost inaudible ticking sound. I was worried about the ticking as I value silence highly, but you cannot hear this watch unless it is next to your ear. If you are looking for an automatic mechanical watch, that is stylish, looks good with any outfit, and high quality on a budget, get this watch. If you are not going to wear it all the time, just be aware you will have to reset the time when you want to wear it. And personally I am not even going to bother with the date - to much hassle with little pay off.

This is a great looking automatic watch for the price. The second hand doesn't glide as smooth as a Rolex or Tag but I guess that is to be expected given the price difference. I didn't care for the band. It was a little too stiff and shiny. It kind of had the look and feel of something like tuxedo shoes built for the $40 retail price point. It wants to be fancy but isn't. I replaced it with a nice brown seiko band and I think it looks stunning. I know some people have noted that the watch loses a second or two a day. This isn't really an issue for me because I change it up between two watches and usually have to reset the time anyway because its power reserve had been exhausted. All in all I am really happy with this purchase.

This is my fourth automatic Orient watch that I have bought over the years and my first dress watch. This watch oozes vintage charm and old-school school class. The dial is not pure white but a more off-white which photos do not do it justice. The markers remind me of the old Hamilton dress watch that my dad used to wear along with the narrow sharp pointed hands. The domed crystal with the slight distortion at the angle adds to the vintage look of this timepiece. I initially was going to purchase the one with the subdial at the six o’clock position but this one was cheaper and more vintage looking. Like others have mentioned, the leather band is very stiff upon receiving it, I ended up bending it and twisting it to loosen up and I’m sure with regular wear it will loosen up on its own. it is a nice dark brown chocolate color which I may replace down the road for something not as flashy, but for now it looks very nice and complements the gold tone markers and hand. Like others have mentioned it probably could be a little bit smaller but on my 7” + wrist it looks fine. In my opinion Orient is a very undervalued watch that delivers outstanding value for its price point… Get yourself one now , You’ll be glad you did

An excellent timepiece, worth every penny. If you are a watch enthusiast then this is the brand and watch to start with before going down the rabbit hole. Superior quality build, craftsmanship and a no non-sense watch.

Purchased this watch for a friend. He seems to enjoy wearing it. It can hold its own as a suit watch, very similar in looks to much more expensive longines etc. The build quality is very good, much better then I expected it would be for the price. The domed glass adds another level of class to an already classy watch. The emblem looks very nice in the dial with clean crisp markers all around. The rotor on the watch is somewhat noisy but it’s not terrible by any means. Only really noticeable when rotated by hand off the wrist. Very similar to the sound of some seiko 5’s. Considering this company is owned by Seiko, I anticipate the watch lasting a very long time whilst maintaining a good level of accuracy. Don’t waste money on designer watches when you can purchase a real timepiece for a similar price tag.
