Comment on All upset over something that in the big picture means nothing? Get yourself this watch

  So, using this model as an example:

  Single jewel quartz mechanism

  For $300, that’s a bit of a turn-off. I’d prefer a mechanical movement — even a cheap-but-reliable Seiko NH35 movement would do.

  There are some nice quartz movements that might be acceptable too, but if they don’t specify which movement it is, then it’s probably not great.

  It has a sapphire crystal, which is pretty much expected at that price range (though Seiko is still a bit behind on this), so it seems kinda odd not to specify which movement is in there.

  Aside from the specs, I suppose the rest comes down to build/finish quality, which is hard to gauge without seeing it in person.
