Not entirely. Pretty sure they are using an ETA movement in the watch, which in indeed Swiss made.

My last 2009 era Seiko 5 mechanical was a POS. The second hand would get tied up with the other hands and stop the watch.
Brought it into a jeweler, got it back a month later, wore to work the next day and it did the same thing.
I went ballistic, threw it on the floor of my office and stomped its face until the crystal broke and then threw it in the garbage. In the middle of a meeting..............

Haha. I love this story. Have always enjoyed my Seikos but never had a Sport.
I run a seiko spb143 as my daily beater watch and I love it. I think it’s definitely worth going up a tier from the entry level seikos.
Miss the days when you could get all ilddivers from Asia for a song and a dance. At one point I had a dozen - not one over $90. Most were 007s and the likes.
