Great everyday casual watch
I purchased the black dial/red bezel Kano on the rubber strap, then the blue dial on the metal bracelet.These Kano watches are great for those with larger wrists, especially the rubber strap versions. With a 44mm diameter and 50mm lug-to-lug, they're pretty large watches. The rubber strap is surprisingly comfortable, so much so that I kept it on rather than swapping it with a Nato strap. I have 8.25-inch (210mm) wrists, and it fits with holes to spare.The blue dial watch is stunning. The pictures do not do the dial justice.Pros and cons: Great movement, excellent bezel (a bit tight until you work it in, but no play at all), screw-down crown, and a good rubber strap.Cons: Most of these are understandable given the price point of the Kano series. Mineral crystal, not sapphire. The metal bracelet has a few issues, like stamped metal clasp and hollow end links. But again, that's kind of expected for this price. I was a bit disappointed that the bracelet was so short (especially given that the rubber strap was a decent length). I had to purchase an extra link from Orient so it would fit my wrist. One would think the target market for this watch are those with large wrists, so having a short bracelet was an odd marketing choice.Love the watches and they are in the rotation to wear. If your wrist can handle the size, I highly recommend the Kano.

The best value in an automatic dive watch you'd likely find.
The watch is beautiful. The "Pepsi" bezel is lovely. Bezel has a matte finish to it, as opposed to that shiny look. I dig it. The crystal isn't sapphire, but still fine quality. The movement is keeping accurate time at around +2 secs. Although the bracelet has a pressed clasp, instead of a milled clasp, it's still a very nice bracelet and feels very substantial. The bezel has a nice "ratchet-like" click to it, with virtually no backplay. The lume isn't astounding, but we're keeping in mind it's a $170 watch. All in all this is a wonderful watch and if you're on the fence, just do it. You won't be sorry.

Like the Tudor Black Bay (red bezel) but can’t afford one?…. Then this is the watch for you!
So, I have a few Orient watches. I usually swap out the bands and bracelets to customize the look. This watch comes on a super comfortable black silicone rubber strap but if you remove it and add a medium-tan leather band, this watch looks phenomenal. I’m not really into large watches and at 44mm this watch is a little larger than I typically prefer (and I have a bigger 7.6”wrist). But, at this price and color combo, I just couldn’t resist. I put the black silicone strap on a Pepsi-bezeled Orient diver that I had and slapped a leather band on this one and it looks sooo good. It reminds me of the Tudor Black Bay with red bezel but a heck of a lot more affordable.This is a really good quality automatic watch for the money. It’s accurate, has a hackable screw-down crown and the lume is strong. The 120 click unidirectional bezel lines up nicely and overall finishing are very good. As long as your wrist is big enough, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Looks like a luxury dive watch without being too ostentatiously homage!
Looks like a luxury dive watch without being too ostentatiously homage!The strap, albeit rather too long, it is amazingly comfortable.The bezel is rather a burgundy tone of red, very similar than a Tudor Black Bay Heritage Burgundy, except that the hour markers and hands are very different (better looking in my humble opinion) and something that the luxury watch hasn't have is a day/date complication, framed between two parallel white lines.The price is amazing for what you are getting. It has an in-house movement that for the price is unheard off!Only downside is that it comes with a Mineral crystal. If Orient had gone with a sapphire crystal, it would have been the perfect watch! But hey, for that price for a dive watch, in-house movement, and a brand with high level of QC standards, you cannot beat!If you think about its horology history and what Orient stands for, this is a real bargain.Don't over think it, most likely this watch will appreciate in price in the near future, and it will become difficult to procure. Buy it now!

Beautiful dial for a bigger wrist
I had originally planned to buy an Orient Kamasu, but with a 7.5 inch wrist, I needed a bigger watch, and the Orient Kanno fit the bill. The red dial is incredibly beautiful, brighter than the red dial on the Kamasu, both in outdoor or indoor lighting- the photo is an accurate example of how the color of the red sunburst dial generally looks on my wrist. It's accurate, not too heavy, the bracelet is reasonably comfortable, but lost a star because it's a bit squeaky and cheap with a sharp/rough edge or two from budget machining- it is pretty obviously where Orient saved their money to get this watch priced so low. That said, it's perfectly wearable and doesn't look cheap. And honestly, even if the band was utter garbage (it isn't) this watch would be worth the price just for that stunning dial. If you're looking for a red watch, this is the one to get.

Good watch.
This watches are not accurate as claimed in description. They run 10 minutes ahead over 3-4 hours of normal wearing. The first month they were running about 1 minute ahead per day. Then suddenly they began running too fast ahead. If they lay face up, then they run ahead not so much, but way more than 25 seconds per day. I didn't drop them.It's too late for me return them.*******************Update as of today 01/17/2023I contacted the seller last week after I wrote this review. He was very nice and offered to mail watch to him. But he is local, just 15 minutes form my place. I dropped watch yesterday at his place. He replaced the movement. I picked watch up today. Will see how it goes.
