Keep the Islander and you can simply swap out the bracelet for one with micro adjust. That would limit it to only 1 con.

Edit: that being said, I think the orient is a better watch.

I would keep the Orient, I think it looks cooler than the Islander.

This comes down to personal preference. But as much as I like Islander, I’d probably keep the Orient.

I’d keep the Orient… no bias whatsoever 🤣

Keep the Orient, I can only speak from experience and never owned an Islander but my Kamasu has been flawless over the past year plus I’ve owned it. I’m American and proud but having done consulting for Toyota there are always more quality control issues with their vehicles that don’t have a vin number that starts with the letter “J” which means made in Japan. Sad but true. But you probably can’t lose with whichever you chose.

The bezel on the Islander looks a little thin and the date window really doesn't work for me. I'd keep the Orient.

I would keep the Islander.

Orient.

Definitely Orient. But I’m biased.

Keep the orient 😀

Orient for sure.

I would keep the Orient since, to me, it is of its own nature. The Islander watches, to me, are just Seiko-mods. Not original enough, for me.

I like the Orient dial and bezel better.

Retain the Orient Kamasu — right on the face of it has more character and and an inhouse mechanical movement compared to a quartz (going by the text on the dial) of the islander.

Personally depends how ypu are gonna use them

Imo the Orient looks better, but has a more elegant look, especially since its mechanical

The islander would be great if you want more casual watch, both style wise and the fact it's quartz will make this a more reliable sports/beater

Boils down to your lifestyle, how you gonna use them, and importantly, what other watches you have in your collection you are keeping

But real answer is keep what you like best

I would keep the kamasu, i think it has a more balanced design and more personality.

Let go the quartz.

I think the Orient is more original and even looks nicer too… I‘d vote for this one.

Orient for me. Prefer the design. Not knocking Islander at all but personally I find some of them a little err, dare I say, bland from a design perspective. Also totally biased 😁

I would keep the Orient

Keep the Orient

I’d vote for islander, Marc seems pretty cool on his Youtube channel and when he appears on The Urban Gentry. I’d support him if I had the opportunity!

Keep the Orient and gift the Islander to some young enthusiast. Have a watch to my neighbors' grandson. Pass along the enthusiasm.

Never seen this guy before…. Maaaan he’s like the shock jock of watches on YouTube 😂😂😂

Seems to be quite insane and yet strangely entertaining 😜 I thought Horology Biology could be a bit out there (no disrespect, he seems knowledgeable and I enjoy his content) but this guy is on another level😝

I prefer the Kamasu purely due to aesthetics. Does the islander hit all the markers? I found a fiar few quartz offerings do miss the makrers which is my pet peeve.

He's hilarious. He's blunt and a little bit too honest. I wouldn't take his commentary as the gospel, but he's not completely wrong either.

Seeing him use the edge of the bracelet clasp to cut the pork was a special moment 🤣🤣👏

His commentary on another ‘tuber’s video for Boldr 😉 had me in bits 😜😂😂

Well, he’s definitely entertaining 🍻

He deserves a bigger audience for sure. Happy to turn on another watch enthusiast to his content.

Don’t the Islander watches have Miyota movements? Thought I’d seen that somewhere in the website. Good movements - no argument there. Just not American, if that’s part of your “pro” list. Don’t own an Islander, but have come close a few times with the hi-beats. I do have a Kamasu, and love it. Fantastic watch.

You can always venture into the world of modding with an OEM seiko dial! Make a peice that is your own and replaces both!
