[alyssadiloreto]

really interesting video, never saw this kind of comparison before. is Orient based in the US or overseas?

[OrientWatchUSA]

Orient just recently opened a distribution center in the USA. However, Orient was started and is maintained in Japan

I think the best part of this video is that you can buy an Orient for under 300, while the Swiss ETA movement can be found in watches costing several thousand. After watching this video I think to myself: "what am I actually paying for?" The depressed global economy has put pressure on the perceived value of luxury brands. Orient offers core luxury features at a reasonable price. Thanks for giving serious watch enthusiasts an option in a depressed economy Orient!

That is right. It is like comparing an AK47 with a M16 whereas the Seiko 5 ist the one gun build with greater tolerances and simpler technic but therfore much more tolerant against abuses like letting it falling down, extreme temperature differences and neglecting services. Yes, it has no hand-winding and second-hacking but it is this simplicity that contributes to its reliability. Like I said I never had to repair it and never serviced it in 23 years! Typic Seiko. I love it!

@srkkroh791 umm just saying.... you do know that rolex doesn't use eta movement right? Only their cheaper line of watches which are tudor are using eta movements. But yeah... a rolex a rolex... -_-

[SirStamford27]

Would like to see the Seiko 7S26 movement compared to the eta. The Seiko movement is a legend.

@enakki Please tell us the trick!

@sharpanator I have high end Swiss watches, but sometimes I feel like wearing a $200 Seiko Automatic or an Orient. Why? Because I get a lot of value for my money, and I appreciate the simplicity and reliability.

If someone wants an automatic watch, why should the only choice in the market be some Swiss one at $4,000+ dollars? Can't middle class people have nice automatics too?

Anyway, my Omega Speedmaster had to go for repairs after 1 year. My Seiko has worked without servicing for 10 years.

Orient is owned by Seiko. Check out Seiko automatic watches and you'll be surprised at how much quality you get for your money. I love Orient and Seiko. Japanese watches are awesome.

@srkkroh791 the mechanism itself is beautiful and interesting. And my automatics are more accurate than non-thermocompensated quartzes and don't require batteries anyway, all but negating any advantage a normal quartz would have. My Planet Orient, never regulated, is less than +5 per month. Same for my Seiko Ananta.

[srkkroh791]

cheap quartz watch are more accurate than 2 this.I like quartz watch more than automatic watch.Automatic watch are old tecnology.Why you like old tecnology and expensive.Its not value for money.

@owhsht310 don't agree. the second hand movement is something beautiful, reminding us that time goes on.. and itis possible to hold the second hand on orient watch but it requires a small trick....
