332 Orient Mako Giveaway: Is it Superior to the Seiko Monster? **CLOSED**

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." Giveaway ends at midnight on November 1 PST!

I like the look of the Orient Mako better and the band looks more comfortable. My husband doesn't dive, so the depth and stuff doesn't matter to him. He just likes watches that look good and have traditional faces rather than digital.

It sounds like the Seiko is a good watch, but the Mako is close behind and looks better and is lighter so the Mako gets my vote.

I think the Orient Mako Dive Watch is superior because of its lower price point (even though it's functionally equal to the Seiko Monster).

Thanks!

Unknown said...

This watch looks awesome!

i'd say the mako because well, it's cheaper!

My vote would be for the Mako. First because of the price. Second I like the way it looks better. I'm going to have my husband read this since he is the diver and give me his opinion. Although if I actually win he would be happy!

My father, son and myself are all SCUBA divers and know that this is a great watch. They are competitive in prices and many other features. I like the color of the Orient more as well as the functionality of the watch. The case sizes are almost the same dimesions but the Seiko weighs more. I would pick the Orient first.
Thank you for the chance.

Heather B said...

the orient mako dive watch! because of its price

Anonymous said...

Well, aesthetics are important aesthetically speaking, so the Orient Mako edges out the Seiko, but the functionality goes to the Seiko Monster...and that's extremely important. The functionality is claimed by the Orient Mako. When you consider that the price is a greater value for the Orient Mako because it is sufficiently more inexpensive, I think the Orient Mako wins by a fraction.

The Seiko Monster's all around visibility is better underwater with a bigger face and more luminescence. I think that's what makes it better!

I'm going with the Orient Mako. The color stands out and makes it so unique, and the color is also supposed to make it easier to see when underwater too.

I need this watch too because I do rescue dives as well. I'm not quite sure that any color can be seen in our murky lakes though LOL. Especially when we drag the bottom. I have to go with the Mako being the best of the two however due to the asthetics. I love the look and its not too busy!

Seiko Monster

Belinda M said...

I like that the Orient Mako has a fold-over push button clasp to prevent it from inadvertently unhooking. This makes the chances of losing it much slimmer than than the monster

Thanks for the giveaway...Going solely by the personal
experience of having owned a Seiko, I have to say that the Seiko is the better watch; that said, I am sure the Orient Orange Mako Automatic Dive Watch is a close second.

I like the Seiko Monster since it has a 17mm extension on the bracelet; so, it can fit over a wetsuit. This makes it more convenient!

I feel the Seiko os superior based on its bigger face and more luminescence. The hands and numbers are outlined in black which contrasts nicely with the orange face. Since both of the watches are similar in function, I would pick the Seiko for greater visibility. garrettsambo@aol.com

Kathy said...

The Seiko Monster is only slightly superior to the Orient Mako because its brushed and polished bracelet make it more durable and able to withstand abuse. However the difference is so little that I would love to win the Mako.

lilyk said...

I think the Seiko Monster watch is better because it comes in 3 different colors.
