I think these must represent the best value for money out there, manufactur movement and all! I had a great two weeks in the company of my Orient Mako on the bike trip.
Chris, amigo, glad you liked the comparison shots and yes, you hit the bullseye, I might think of the 5 ring lowlite Zulu for this one. Really a no brainer watch for the price.
Toxic/Nic/Trent/Metsfan99...thanks for the kind words. I thought I'd add more text as Orient seems to be "underepresented" and yet, it's a decent watch. Maybe more WIS will check out the brand too. More fun for all.
Janner, yes, I agree with you. Orient seems to have gotten it this time.
Bill, sushi?Yup, another flavor....
Mcvol17, true. Markers aren't as great as Seiko and I missed to mention that in my review. Thanks.
Mark, the lume department is really a let down but the bezelwork is kinda decent...for the price and the expectation
IanM, mate, I was also looking for something in yellow. Chris mentioned that to me but somehow I haven't seen one yet. The website shows only black and orange for this line. Maybe a yellow is in the offing down the road. 22mm all the way down on the bracelet is something that I also like and sometimes makes a difference in terms of sturdiness and feel.
Thanks for all your kind words, gentlemen, on the watch and the review.
Bullseye, Graham.
That's exactly why I got the Hogrider soon after you described your Orient's performance on the 2 week bike ride you just did. I then knew the brand was dependable. Also, I saw Skip's posts and was intrigued by the brand. Thanks also for the kind words.
