I just recently purchased this watch from Amazon and was blown away by the good looks and the perpetual movement by the second hand.  It's a very nice looking watch, that has a more traditional size for men.  I have a big wrist, but I'm not a fan of the trendy watches that have been coming out lately.  I purchased some Tommy Bahama watches but had to return them since the size was ridiculously oversized.  The band is great, I'm not sure about the complaints about the "stiffness", it's a rubber band, which in my experience is the best over time.  I had a Swiss Army Dive Master orange face 300m that finally died(how I loved that watch), and this will be my main replacement (the newer 500m Swiss Army are much to bulky compared to the discontinued 300m ones for everyday).

I may also consider this watch in the orange face, but for now purchased a Deep Blue in orange, which in comparison to the Orient is a more functional dive watch.  The Deep Blue is the real deal, with a helium relief valve and rated at 1000 meters.

My biggest disappointments with this incredible value is the bezel is extremely stiff on my watch.  I'm hoping that over time it will loosen up, but in comparison to others, it's just difficult to turn and not as ergonomic in design.  The band is a great size as others have stated and will easily fit over a 3mm wet suit.

Now, here's my concern with this watch.  You have two screw down bezels and a rating to 200 meters or 660 feet, so why in the manual does it not recommend this watch for scuba diving?  I used my Swiss Army for years scuba diving, and never had a water issue.  I'd like to hear from other owners of this Orient Series if it's safe for open water diving up to 100 feet, which is generally the max?  Please let me know your comments and experience on the reliability on dives.  The manual classifies this watch in the same category as the 100m, which to me makes no sense, unless they are just disclaiming all liability for water damage caused by diving.  Until, I someone clarifies if this is a "REAL" diving watch, I'll be using my Deep Blue.

Overall, it's an amazing value and looks far more expensive then it actually it.  I would have thought this was easily a few hundred dollars based on looks alone.  This is a watch that has that understated touch of elegance that just might end up being your favorite watch over the years.  The water resistance, lack of ever needing a battery and sweat proof band make it an ideal sportsman watch.  It's a steal at around $100 bucks.  If they fixed the bezel movement it would have been 5 stars.
