Mens watches Okami - a product from the Land of the Rising Sun. The Japanese still prefer their analog wrist models to any electronic device. In this sense quartz Okami are no worse than their "older brothers" from Seiko or Q&Qbut are cheaper. The company uses stainless steel for the manufacture of cases, sometimes ceramics or jewelry alloys. Mineral glass, not impact-resistant, but it is difficult to leave mechanical damage on it.
The company is registered in Japan, but production is based outside of Japan. All models are quartz, the battery should be changed periodically if the accuracy decreases. The case back is screw-threaded; in the men's version, it is engraved with the name of the collection.
In work, the brand prefers to use neoclassical approach - the materials are not luxurious, but solid, they look attractive. It is interesting that the company has many watches with a matte finish of the case, which outwardly resembles ceramic, this is relevant and not as commonplace as in the case of ordinary smooth steel.
Okami pays great attention to detail. Unusual polishing or luminescent illumination of the dial, other original design elements are present in each model. At the same time, the tendency towards minimalism persists: there is no pretentiousness or a lot of details here. Regardless of its design, both divers and ordinary watches are water resistant up to a submersion of 100 m.

Selection Tips

- Mechanism type... There is no alternative here - all models are based on quartz crystals, the battery needs to be replaced no more than once every 2-3 years, since the dial is analog and the power consumption is minimal. Such watches are as accurate as possible, do not require regular winding, and are quite lightweight.
- Type of shell... Only stainless steel is used in Okami's modern collections, but the company is not afraid to experiment with ceramics and jewelry alloys. When choosing a coated option, you should give preference to matte products that look more respectable. However, the smoothly polished steel case is good because it is not afraid of scratches.
- Clock type. It can be a laconic classic with a calendar window or a full-fledged chronometer. Skeletons are no less popular, revealing the secret of the clockwork through a transparent window in the lid. For divers, the brand has special sealed models in the original case.
- Bracelet type. The most comfortable to wear - leather - has its drawbacks, it is easily stretched and deformed, especially in wet weather. These straps are easy to change to personalize the look of the watch. Steel bracelets must match the color of the case. They are more difficult to wear, but durable and reliable.
All these parameters must be taken into account. Then the selected watch will be accurate, attractive in appearance and comfortable to wear.

Interesting that Okami is preferred by young and middle-aged people - fashionable, self-confident, following the latest trends. This approach is fully justified. A beautiful wristwatch has become a status attribute today, and the absence of electronic components does not bother anyone. Analog models do not require frequent recharging, work in any conditions, are lightweight and take up a minimum of space.
Okami products are also praised for being hypoallergenic - the alloy contains no dangerous nickel and other substances that cause negative reactions.
TO cons of watches from a Japanese manufacturer the reviews attribute an insufficient amount of information about the company itself. Besides, not all models have a reliable mechanism from Seiko - many are content with simpler options. Savings like these never benefit a brand's reputation. And also it is noted overcharge - for watches of an "nameless" manufacturer, not very well-known outside Japan, they ask an average of 7500 rubles.
