A Blog to Watch has a post explaining the unique greatness of Seiko. An excerpt:
What is so incredible is how much they meet or beat European luxury watch standards. I am not suggesting that Seiko watches are better than Swiss or German watches in all ways, but rather that they are really one of the crowd. Going to the various high-end Seiko watch manufactures here in Japan, I am totally reminded of Europe. Of course these watch making plants have their own Japanese character, any watch maker from Europe would feel at home here, maybe even more comfortable.
Nice quote. You can't beat Seiko for value - that is, a combination of price and quality. Orient is up there as well.

The best things in life might not always be free----but they are almost NEVER the highest priced either. Finding the sweet spot that gives you everything you need and almost everything you want----at a comparative value price----is the way to go. Seiko seems to deliver on that promise.
