>The real controversial opinion is there is not a single good Seiko. They're ugly as fuck, have terrible finishing, and the mechanical ones are regulated at -35/+45s a day.
I got myself a presage grasshopper a couple of weeks ago and I don't think it's bad for the money. The dial looks really nice and I haven't noticed it losing or gaining time so far. It feels a bit flimsy and lightweight compared to my carrera calibre 5 but that's several times more expensive so you'd expect that. For a dress watch it does the job well, it's a fun design that I can wear going drinking or on an afternoon out without worrying about having something worth a few grand on my wrist.
The main problem with the seiko is the bracelet, it's cheap uncomfortable shit.
