here's another, not sure if i posted it here before.
Just because they make a large range, does not mean their higher end fair is lesser than other brands at the same price point. From Seiko 5 to Grand Seiko they make great products. Grand Seikos are on par or better than Rolexs for much less and the Seiko 5 is the best deal on a automatic. Those are just two examples
i'm not saying seiko's aren't made well, nor am i saying their not great value or worth the money for some of their more expensive watches. what i'm saying is the brand is heavily stigmatized in the usa and their brand perception is pretty poor.
and one reason for that is distribution channels. you cheapen your brand and the message your sending selling at walmart for $60
Well, I was just shopping at the walmart online store, and I can buy a Rolex though the site. The order is filled by 3rd party, but nonetheless, available through walmart (how gauche! )
I see your point, and it's a valid one, but you must agree that Seiko makes watches for all price points. It's really no different than Omega/Swatch or Ferrari/Fiat--they just keep it In House. Sometimes you have to make what sells in volume, so you can afford to do the higher end stuff.
No difference between Seiko and King Seiko?
No difference between Seiko and Grand Seiko?
No difference between Seiko and Credor?
I would opine there is a difference. Surely there's a difference between Ferrari and Fiat, and any layman can see that. Problem is, boy, the high end stuff is not as profitable. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ferrari was sold to Fiat for a reason--they can't afford to maintain their standard of high performance otherwise.
There is no doubt that a quartz watch will perform better than a mechanical. "Connected" digital better than both. Understand that you are in a relatively niche market--time to grow up.
Meanwhile, you can order your new Rolex on the Walmart website.
and don't call me boy and insult me. it's very racist and uncalled for
Are you from an alien race? Or a chimpanzee? Otherwise his use in this context is not racial, unless you count an 8 year old court case that got overturned because of context.
In this case he was clearly commenting on your seemingly juvenile logic in regards to this issue.
..
wrong.
and you don't speak for everyone or omegaforums.
if you don't like seiko's brand perception to americans you have more than me to worry about. my points are about brand perception ..notihng else
it's not subjective to use the word "boy" to the point here you can use it and say it didn't imply anything or meant something else. it was a not so veiled attempt of an insult..and a racist one at that. regardless if you didn't think it was
he was clearly making poor points from his side and was angered so he opted to drag the convo down the gutter and insult me because of it.
that's it in a nutshell
I called you "boy" for your unsophisticated attitudes in matters of business, not because I'm "raciiss". You have exposed yourself. No go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.
Damn millenials .
Anyone can call me anything they want on the forum, I won’t get offended. It’s a watch forum, and I enjoy it, but certainly don’t take it seriously.
as an african american i am very appalled by peoples behavior and their racist and insulting attitudes
and lol @ you. daring to taunt me again...i destroyed everything you said and tried to say on this matter, and i can easily do it again....got it...boyyyyyyeeee
