It's a $20 retail movement in a $500 watch. It's many steps away from the quality of a similarly priced Seiko product.

The point of this watch is that it's assembled in America with decent labor conditions. I think that's probably why they went with a Swiss movement rather than one from Seiko or Citizen. Perhaps Seiko's environmental and labor practices are part of the reason their watches cost less.
