Now, to some degree your opinion may be decided based on where you live. I live in the UK, and prices are considerably higher than the US. I own two Seikos, and love them both. I have also owned a fair few in the past. My SKX 009 looks great on the wrist, and it is a keeper. However, there are times when I look at what I get for the money and question, do they now offer the value they once did. Brands such as Heimdallr or Phobois are beautifully made watches with a higher spec, including a Seiko NH35 movement. I look at my Heimdallr Sharkey Turtle and it's quite superb. Sapphire crystal, 316L case, 200m WR, C3 lume, and an infinitely better bracelet. Not only is this watch technically better than the Seiko, it's half the price. On top of all this, either company offer a far better customer service, and will reply to you as if you are actually a human being.
Of course, if the name is important to you, and if you believe heritage actually means anything, buy the Seiko. Your thoughts ?
