Sent my Dan Henry 1972 back for a warranty repair because the movement died. Support denied receiving it for 5 weeks despite tracking. After I proved delivery, they claimed "user abuse" due to minor desk diving scratches on the case and demanded $80 to send my broken watch back. When I mentioned consumer rights, they told me: "See you in court!"

Full story:
I bought a Dan Henry 1972 Maverick in May 2025. A few months ago, the quartz movement completely stopped working…

Watch if you want to be able to comment in a more informed way.
Or just fling your 2 cents. As you like.

The TL;DR version of the video is:
Too many brands –micros and Ali X — are using the NH, and this ubiquity ends up lowering the value of Seiko, while only increasing competition for Seiko.
Same or better quality of Ali-X watches for 30 – 50% of the price that Seiko want to charge, and for designs that look better too. Like, the Willard, for…

Thus far I haven’t had any issues with any of these watches, but I know they will all die eventually. What do you think is in my future, movement swaps? I know that full servicing can be expensive but I would like to maintain these instead of treating them as disposable. I’m curious what others have done or would do in my position.
