    A 40mm automatic version is coming out soon...maybe that would be a better fit?

    The Seiko watches aren't even made in Japan, there's no comparison, not to mention their terrible quality control where the bezel/chapter ring/dials don't align. The only down side is the size of the Tissot.

    True eh, the price of their prospex line is pretty comparable for the likes of Mido and Hamilton now

    I’d say Seiko generally wins around the $1,000 price range for better designs, better case finishing and much better lume and amazing dials for the price. No doubt their QC both in terms of alignment issues and the accuracy of their movements (I’m looking at you Seiko 6R35). In addition to the 15+ Seiko’s I own I have several Swatch group watches with Powermatic 80s from Tissot, Hamilton, MIDO and Certina. They make great watches, quality control is vastly superior to Seiko and the Powermatic 80 is super accurate and consistent in its time keeping (and very affordable to service through Swatch). Seiko is definitely becoming a tougher sell for me as their prices climb. I just ordered a Seiko SPB381 (green MM200 GMT diver), but only because I got it for 30% off from my AD. No way was I paying $2,50 CAD ($1,500 USD) for it!

    @@dustinr16 very nice I'm looking at those GMT divers too, have the spb207 myself and love it, you're right the 6r35 was super inaccurate had to send it to a different watchmakers to make it accurate :/

    Seiko? It's a homage to the Rolex Submariner.

    Seiko is a SEIKO with all pros and cons. Whoever fall in love with Seiko will stay there. Seikos are diving icons for every wallet and pure examples of how divers watch should be made. Even this Tissot is copying seiko at some point..... Cant beat Seiko.
