How about SEIKO Seiko entry-level mechanical watches brand introduction

In terms of style, Seiko is probably the world's number one watch brand. Seiko Seiko is one of the three major watchmaking companies in Japan, founded in 1881 as Hattori Timepiece Shop and renamed Seikosha in 1892. Seikosha is also the parent company of Epson, a manufacturer of computer printers. For more than half a century, Seiko has won three awards at the Grand Horlogerie de la Haute Horlogerie, known as the "Oscars of Horology": "Electronic Watch of the Year" in 2006 for "Electronic Ink", "Sports Watch of the Year" for "Space Walk" in 2010 and Grand Seiko for "Small Hands" in 2014.
 
In a "Diver's Watch Extreme Environment Test" conducted by Japan's National Marine Research Institute, Seiko's Marinemaster 1000M automatic diver's watch continued to operate until a depth of 4,299 meters (2.67 miles). To commemorate the partnership between Seiko and PADI, the world's professional dive training organization, Seiko has launched two PADI Special Edition diver watches, one of which is the Ref. SRPA21J1 is almost the best-looking abalone shell diver's watch so far, equipped with 4R36 movement inside, the font is exquisite and beautiful, and there is no flaw in the eyepiece, but unfortunately the power reserve is only 41 hours, but at the price of 3600 yuan, the power reserve problem is really insignificant.
 
Seiko's hottest style in the world should be Seiko No. 5, it is the absolute first choice for thousands of yuan, affordable, sturdy, good-looking, the details of the process even surpass a lot of products that are several times the price of it, it is equipped with a large amount of 7S36 movement, polishing and accuracy are slightly lacking, but the maintenance rate is very low.
 
At the price of 5000 yuan, SDGM 001 is recommended, the dial craftsmanship is delicate, the sapphire crystal of Super Clear Coating, and the use of Diashield are also a good choice for dress watches, and there are 003, 007, and 009 in the same series. At a price of 6,000 yuan or more, you can recommend the SARW 011 and SARX 19, which can be regarded as the cheapest enamel watches, with a very hand-made feeling, and Seiko is also good at white dials, which is worth prioritizing. In general, no matter what your budget is, you can first see if Seiko has a suitable style.
