What are your thoughts on alba as a brand and their automatics and quartz movement watches, I am planning to buy this orange dial watch for $75 dollars as a daily beater, it comes with
Glass- mineral
Water resistant- 100m
Movement- Seiko quartz
Case- stainless steel
Don't want to purchase automatic alba as I am waiting for my Invicta Pro diver coming in dec end...
Would love to hear your thoughts on ALBA

Subsidiary of Seiko so should be decent 👍
She was really good in Dark Angel. :-). I kid, for that price, hard to complain.
they sell it too in my country, for what i know they seems decent and affordable. they made automatic watch too but with older seiko movement which is 7s26
Hd this a few months. Only criticism is a slight alignment error with the day.
As mentioned above they are a Seiko subsidary. They are decent quality and pretty good lume too.

I get it, lol.
The bezel probably doesn’t turn.
Alba is Seiko's "youth" orientated brand in Japan.
As such I don't think that they have many automatics. They're mostly focused on quartz movements. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I got a APBT209 a couple of years ago as a Japanese import. The body is titanium and the lume is amazing.
I have 2 complaints. One is with the hardlex glass. It scratches so easily. Second complaint is with the nylon strap. It frayed very quickly (in less than a year). I eventually replaced it with a leather strap.
Alba (pronounced Ala-pa) is Gaelic for Scotland so its gotta be decent 🤪🤪🏴
