Seiko is a quality budget friendly alternative to high end brands. A nice daily watch for a middle class person. Obviously, nothing a high class executive would need to wear.
Seiko’s quality matches or exceeds other brands at the same price point. Here’s a fair comparison of entry level watches from Seiko, Rolex and Omega.

looks like they are trying to copy Rolex. They can copy Rolex and look like Rolex but will never be a Rolex.
My husband bought a new one about four months ago, and this week was the third time he sent it back because it will not keep accurate time (and we are talking anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours off within one day)! The one he bought back about 1980 lasted 20 years with no problem.
I have a Seiko Lassale that I bought 35-36 years. I bought because it was ultra thin and very light, and wore that watch daily for many, many years before retiring. It still works and looks great, but I just don't wear a watch that often any more.

Their high end models can hold their own with Rolex in every aspect except one: resell. Lol
I just purchased a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. The last Sub I owned was from 1988 to 1993 and I’ve only tried them on occasionally since. I do own a BLNR and with that as a reference, the FF’s quality is better than that Rolex.
Unfortunately, it’ll suffer the same fate as a Seiko.... it won’t hold it’s value. Luckily, huge discount made it worthwhile and....I don’t buy to sell. I buy to wear.
Oh...the 1315 movement in the FF: +0.5 seconds in 13 days and the 120 hour reserve will come in handy when I want to wear something else.
Seiko is the best watchmaker in the world. Yes, I know all about higher end watches, very few of which actually make their own movements.
In fact they are so good, that there are plenty of fakes. If anyone has bad experience with a Seiko, I would assume that they had a fake without realizing it.

Rolex is one. I assume a few others but I won't name them because I would have to check first.
Citizen is another good brand who makes everything in house.
