Seiko
A Seiko (TMI) quartz caliber with a high-frequency stepping motor that drives a smooth four-beats-per-second sweeping seconds hand instead of a single tick. Battery-powered and accurate to about ±20 seconds per month, it gives quartz watches a mechanical-style sweep at low cost.

Owners widely praise the Addiesdive 36mm Explore Dive Watch VH31 Quartz Watch AD2096 for its value, with many finding it an excellent purchase for under $100. The Seiko VH31 mechaquartz movement is a highlight, appreciated for its smooth, four-beat-per-second sweep that mimics mechanical movements, and its excellent accuracy, with one owner reporting a loss of only 20 seconds over eight months. The dial quality and lume are also singled out as being among the best at its price point. Some owners note the 2-year battery life as a minor inconvenience compared to standard quartz, and one reviewer found the seconds hand sweep slightly jerky compared to mechanical options. The watch features a mineral crystal and a tinny bezel, and the Mercedes hands are described as underwhelming by one source. Overall, owners rate the Addiesdive 36mm Explore Dive Watch VH31 Quartz Watch AD2096 highly for its accurate and smooth-sweeping Seiko VH31 movement and impressive dial quality at its price.
