Question 1

Is it worth the $200.00 tag? Or better ones can be had for the price?

Accepted Answer

Definitely worth the money. Equivalent to a $300 Seiko.

Question 2

Is this even legit?  the name of the watch is misspelled throughout the entire listing.  it's a kanno, not kano.  go to the orient website to to see.

Accepted Answer

Orient changed the name of the watch. It used to be spelled "Kano" and is now spelled: "Kanno," for whatever reason. If you do a web search for "Orient Kano" you will get links to all the same sites and "Orient Kanno." It's is a legit watch: comes in an Orient box and Orient case, with an Orient tag, instruction manual and Guarantee booklet.

Question 3

There seems to be the exact same kano orient watch on amazon ( model no. ens in a) for 9 dollars less but the model number ends in the letter b?

Accepted Answer

Export model. No Kanji date wheel. Buy the A and save $9.

Question 4

Amazon description says its not suitable for diving? But isnt this supposedly a diver watch?

Accepted Answer

"Dive watch" is a category of watches that hsare similar traits (i.e. 200M water resistance, unidirectional bezel, screw down caseback) which makes them suitable for most any water activities. A "true" diver's watch meets ISO 6245 requirements. ISO 6425 requires that each watch is tested to 125% of its depth rating prior to being sold. Further is a unidirectional bezel mandatory, and the hour and minute hand, marker on the bezel, as well as the running second’s hand,  must be visible in the dark at a distance of 25 cm from your eyes. This is why most watches sold as dive watches, even if they don't meet full ISO standards, have awesome lume. The watches also have to meet criteria for salt water resistance, thermal shock resistance, and a degree of resistance to magnetism. Each and every watch sold with the "Diver's Watch" designation are tested individually and this process is carried out independently of the watch manufacturer in a certified ISO lab. In summation, if the watch says "Diver's Watch" along with the water resistance rating, its going to be a tough watch. I think legally it has to be ISO certified to be labeld "Diver's Watch" or "Diver's 200M" etc.
