Are you aware of the heated debate over which dive watch is superior between the Orient Orange Mako Automatic Dive Watch and the Seiko Monster? Since my husband is a scuba diver, on the search and rescue team and on a water rescue team for the fire department I need the best dive watch out there! The Orient Mako Automatic Dive Watch is water resistant up to 200 meters, holds a power reserve of 40 hours, needs no batteries (wahoo!), comes with a leather strap and screw-down crown to prevent water invasion. Apparently the orange face of the Orient Mako watch is the easiest color to see under water, but I love orange for its masculine esthetic beauty! One extremely lucky blogger will receive the Orange Make Automatic Dive Watch compliments of Orient Watch USA ! To enter, check out the online debate between the Seiko Monster and the Orient Mako Dive Watch. Then come back and make a comment on which one you feel is superior and why."

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 332 Newer› Newest»What a great give away! My husband dives and would love this as a Christmas gift. Since the two are so similar, I'd have to agree with the debate poster--the better looking Mako gets my vote!

I believe the Seiko Monster is the winner because of it functionality!
Great giveaway. Though I currently only snorkle, I hope that my father and I can take the dive course soon!
The debate poster did a fantastic job of comparing. Since they are both so similar, I would go with the Mako because it is still cheaper yet appears to retain all the same features!
I follow FFF in google reader :)
My husband is a diver too so I found this interesting. I would vote for the Seiko Monster because it won in the functionality category. If you want a dive watch, I believe functionality would be the most important key to picking your watch!

My only contribution when picking a car is picking the color (okay, I'll admit I'm exaggerating quite a bit) so I'll stick to it and pick based on aesthetics: Orient Mako. DH'll be delighted if I win...

I would LOVE to win the Mako watch! My husband and I both scuba dive, and he's been looking for a good dive watch for awhile. Functionality and price won me over!
kstabler@cbizmmp.com
This may be shallow, but I really like the look & appearance of the Orient Mako better!
Thanks for the comparison. If I don't win (which I never do), I'll forward this to my husband who loves shopping for dive watches...don't ask me why!

Living on the lake a waterproof watch would be fantastic for my husband since he spends so much time waterskiing, diving, swimming, kayaking, sailing, just to name a few activities he is active in. The Orient Mako most definitely gets my vote because it is less expensive than the Seiko, the Mako's face is much simpler in face design, less "busy" than the Seiko making it much easier to read, this is so important when under water. I like that the Orient's appearance is more versatile for a variety of activities.
I also like that the Orient won out in functionality, you want a watch that is going to be dependable and meticulous in keeping time. This final fact won me out!
Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

I have been wanting a dive watch for a long time! I think the Mako is superior because of its functionality and design
tstabler@raycommedia.com
Well, quite frankly, I think the Orient Mako looks better. The black around the face really sets it off. The Seiko has good qualities, too, though.
I follow FFF on Twitter!
I honestly think that the Mako is the better looking watch. It is more apealing. I agree that they are pretty closely matched. But the Mako beats it out on looks : )

The watches seem very similar, however, the Mako is cheaper, so to me, that is better!
What a nice giveaway! The orange face is really stunning on this watch. My boyfriend would love it.
The Orient holds a power reserve of 40 hours! That's pretty awesome!

The Mako is better because it looks better.
To me, the Orient Mako Dive Watch sounds superior because Orient Makos have in-house movements.
This watch really sounds awesome and superior. My husband is a big time diver for the past 18 years and would absolutely love this watch.
Thanks so much for offering this great giveaway!

Wow, what a great watch. As a college student who is constantly late for class and loves swimming in the ocean (I'm from New Jersey), this would be a great watch for me. The big face of the watch is really fashionable and the orange color is really stylish.

Orient Mako - Cheaper, looks better and could be worn for many occasions, and you can hand wind it.

Reading the section Functionality where the Monster won I saw that in most respects they are very similar and so I chose the Mako since it has the fold-over push button clasp to prevent it from inadvertently unhooking and I think it looks nicer

Seiko Monster for greater functionality
They are very similar, i would pick
Orange Mako because i like the color
I like the clear design details on the Orient Mako better.

I don't have a watch so I really would love to win the Mako watch
First, that was a really thorough review! I should learn that stuff, as my hubby also dives -- and would *love* this watch! Given that 2 out of the 3 points raised in the review went to the Orient Mako... that sounds like more than enough reason to validate getting MY vote! :)

After reading the article, I'd have to go with the Orient. It wins out in Aesthetics and Movement and comes extremely close in the debate over Functionality. Although I think Functionality is the most important feature when it comes to a dive watch, there wasn't a significant difference in the article's reporting to show the Orient was "inferior"

I think the Orient Mako is superior, because "Orient Makos have in-house movements. They are installed by Orient professionals, not imported from large suppliers." asthenight at gmail dot com
Great giveaway. I would go with the seiko watch
hmowery@centurytel.net
The large simple numbers on a clean readable face on the Orient appeal to me more.
The Orient is lighter... that's significant. Not to mention it has a "cleaner" look to me.
The Mako has a much simpler face, complemented by the understated design of the bracelet, which appeals to me. Thanks for the chance to win!

Seiko Monster seems more versatile
I think the Seiko is superior because it has bigger markers and is more luminescent for a brighter display. Thanks!

I think the Seiko Monster most because its brushed and polished bracelet make it more durable and able to withstand abuse.
