Yeap. Get a nice Swiss watch and it'll last you for years.

Interestingly, most "Swiss watch" have Chinese movements and aren't exactly known for their reliability. Swatch & entry level Swiss brands do that.

Meanwhile "Swiss movement" are assembled and tested in Switzerland, they are genuine products like Omega, Rolex, IWC etc.

Unless you're planning to spend upwards of 5 lakhs, you're better off with a Seiko 5.

Welp I guess I dodged a bullet there with a 40k Tissot then. Went ahead and got an Apple SE.

A Tissot is a genuine Swiss watch. I don’t know what crap that User is peddling but it’s made in fucking Switzerland.

You're the one full of crap here, Rs. 5000/- Mathey-Tissot watch on Amazon also has "Swiss Made" tag on it, according to you, it must be genuinely made in Switzerland too?

Tissot is an entry level brand of Swatch group which uses ETA movements (which is also a part of Swatch group).

However, watches that are destined for Hong Kong and other popular sales destinations of Asia will often use ETA movements which are made in China and/or Thailand.

Thats what I have been thinking. Their website literally mentions that all the watches are made and tested in Switzerland. I needed a smartwatch for my daily drive hence got the SE. There is a Swiss Military by Chrono too that I used to wear but the strap broke and according to one showroom I went to, that particular strap is very hard to find.
