- Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
www.jomashop.com
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
Below are affiliate links for my absolute favorite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

Stamped clasp at this price level is questionable but it looks well made. I've had a few Orients over the years but for me the Triton Mini is the pick of the current range.
I have the same thoughts about the clasp.
The Triton looks great as well.
Nice preview James. It's another one of those watches I would have in my collection in an instant...if it were sub 40mm. No doubt it is one of Orient 's best looking watches. Those colours I would not normally take a second look at but they just work. Stunning 😮
It does have a bit of size to it but it has just really impressed me.
Well. This one was a surprise to me.
I have often thought about buying this one. Don’t force me, James! 😂🕐🍸
Hahahaha. No pressure.
Really nice colorway, and the power reserve is a useful complication, and I wish more sports watches had that. I also wish more sports watches had drilled lugs. Look forward to your in-depth take on it.
Thank you. It has really surprised me. I really like it
Orient are so underrated, never had an orient star in hand but if I look at my kamasu for example, beautiful teal dial, sapphire, great bezel alignment etc, they leave seiko looking a bit overpriced and underspecced and I own quite a few seikos..
I think a lot of people are thinking the same.
I fell in love with that green dial version the moment I saw it years ago, but it's all but impossible to find over here in the states. I eventually gave up on it. Great find James!
It is an incredible watch. Unfortunately this one is only borrowed but still great to have some time with it.
Have it in my country but cant afford it
It's cool that they added a secondary strap if you want to change it to make it look like you have two watches
It helps to make that price feel a bit more in line with the watch. And always great to have that option.
Hi James.... Is it still available in the market? It's a fantabulous stunner of a watch 🔥🤙♥️
Yes. It can be a little hard to find sometimes but definitely still available
It’s a great watch. I always felt it was a little too large though for me to pull it off, and I have a 7inch wrist. Yeah and that clasp, but that’s standard SOP for Seiko and Orient at this price. Thanks and looking forward to the full review!
The clasp was expected but I was surprised by this one. It is really nice.
I like the sunburst dial
It’s particularly nice
It look bulky but what a nice watch, the clasp not sure, but power meter nice touch the rest is awsome, good choice, now waiting for the full review.
It is an impressive watch
Accent threw me for a second, I thought you said "orange star diver", being from Scotland I don't have an accent. 😂
Hahahahahaha
I has Orient Star Green Dial Diver ..Strong Time Peace
I was so surprised at how nice it is.
👍
👍
Green and Gold , the colours of the Australian flag . Can you change the clasp to something decent ? looking good mate
It does have a Aussie colour scheme.
It is a shame about the clasp
The power reserve need to be integrated better, it looks really odd
It is a bit dividing. Some love it. But other do not.
When was this watch released?
I’m not sure. I know it’s been around for at least a few years.
Well is a Seiko
Thanks for WATCHing
