Orient Mako RN-TX0203S Men's Solar Panda, Made in Japan, White, Silver, multicolor (white / black), Bracelet Type

This quartz chronograph is chic and functional. I am happy with the purchase except there warranty is for domestic Japan as the watch was shipped from Amazon Japan Hope this will be extended for such INT’L purchase.

Acabamento impecável! Muito bonito e sofisticado. Um pouco menor do que eu esperava, mas isso foi um ponto positivo. O movimento do ponteiro de segundos principal é ligado à função de cronógrafo. O medidor de segundos perpétuo está no sub-dial à esquerda. Inclusive, o corte dos sub-dials no mostrador são um lindo detalhe. Muito satisfeito com a compra. O único porém não diz respeito ao produto ou à entrega, são as taxas abusivas de importação impostas pelo Gov brasileiro. Apenas favorecem o contrabando.

Very nice!

Superbly well made watch, especially at this price point. The quartz movement is super accurate and it is a joy using the chronograph. The pictures don’t do the dial justice. It’s a lovely silvery white. Only downsides are the bracelet is a tad only and has a pressed steel clasp. However, it was easy to adjust with the correct tool and fits well. (Expanding collar pins) I also find the date window pretty small, but then I am knocking on a bit. But these are very minor niggles. Looks far more expensive than it actually is. John.

If you search reviews of watches, the Seiko Speedmaster solar panda gets all kinds of hype since its release a couple of years ago. This watch beats it on many important specs and yet costs half as much (or even less). Things I like that the more expensive Seiko lacks: -Sapphire crystal (not mineral crystal) -200m water resistance (not 100m) -beveled finishing around the sub-dials (a glint of shiny metal rather than a straight cut through the dial -lumed markers at all hours (Seiko had only 4, though a later version added more) The one thing that Seiko definitely did better is the bracelet, but neither bracelet is very good. These watches are more comfortable and look great with a good rubber or other strap, so I had no problem just dropping this bracelet in the bin. The watch looks great. It's almost impossible to capture the sunburst effect on the dial with a photo, but you can see it in person for sure--a matter of taste whether that's a good thing. The lume is fantastic. If my room is dark, I can read this watch all night long. I also get a lot of compliments when I first walk into a room from being outside, as the lume is noticeable even in a lit space. It seems to catch the eye of bartenders for just this reason. LOL My only beefs: The hands are easy to read when I have my glasses on, but in low light if I'm not wearing readers, sometimes it's hard to read because the white-lumed hands blur into the dial too much for me. In the dark or wearing glasses this is not an issue. Similarly, the hands on the sub dials could use a little more contrast as well. They can be hard to see in low light. Otherwise, this watch is not getting nearly the attention it deserves. Solar quartz movement is super reliable and accurate--so far I can't find any deviation since I first got it a few weeks ago and I LOVE not having to replace a batter any time in the next...oh...10 to 20 years or more?
