Seiko nails three out of four with many models.

I can forgive many things, because there is no 100% perfect watch, that's why we always have a new grail.

BUT...I can't ignore a bad bracelet/strap. Because it is always on my wrist, the whole day and it would remind me aöl the time how stupid I was to spend money on that sh...t.

For example:

I really love the Tissot Gentleman. I was about to buy it. So excisted. The look only warmes my hard...then...finall  time to try on....and...wtf..."what's wrong with the bracelet?", "Sir? İt's all fine." , "But why does it feel like crap?"

I was litterally hanging there around for 10 Min. with the watch on my wrist, because I couldn't realize and accept that a 150 years old high reputated company like Tissot makes such a bad bracelet. So I left with the Titanium Quartz version as my secomd choise which is really comfortable by the way. But it still hurts. 💔

Same with a beautiful Zeppelin watch. It hat just mineral christal. Not good but ok. But...the leather strap felt like cardboard. I left it on the desk.

If you buy a cheap watch for few bucks it's easy to swap the bracelet/leather. But I can't accept it from experienced traditionall watch brands.

Easy to replace a bad bracelet or strap (at least in the price point I'm currently shopping in)

There are drawbacks to sapphire and benefits to polycarbonite

Weird lug width, not a big deal as making it a "normal" width can throw off proportions

QC issues with the watch head itself is my choice

Poor quality control hands downs. If I'm buying a watch, I expect the bezel,  indices, numbers and hands to align. If they do not, then the watch should never have left the factory.
