Are there any "affordable" (under $500€) Japanese watches that have actually good, or even great bracelets? It seems (online) that most Japanese watches at that price point are praised for their dials and movements but almost always the bracelets supposedly suck.

I’ve got a few entry level seikos and it seems like they put all the focus on the watch face, dial, movement etc and use the bracelet as the main way of getting the price down. Honestly, I think it’s a great way to go considering how easy it is to change the bracelet vs the other components.

I wouldn’t let it stop you, I’m super happy with mine!
