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.

The Addiesdive 36mm Quartz Watch VH31 Movement AD2023-1 is widely praised for its Seiko VH31 sweeping quartz movement, which ticks four times per second for a smooth sweep, and its accuracy, with one owner reporting losing only 20 seconds over eight months. Owners also appreciate the 36mm case size, noting it fits well on smaller wrists, and the case finishing, with brushed and polished surfaces considered nice for the price. Some owners report issues with the Miyota 2115 movement randomly stopping, which was resolved by a battery replacement, and others note a "play" in the minute hand causing alignment issues. Battery life is generally cited as around two years, with some finding this a minor inconvenience. The watch features a mineral crystal prone to scratching, a bezel that spins too easily with a hollow sound, an oyster bracelet with significant rattle and push pins, a stiff crown, and short, thin Mercedes hands. The lume is noted as excellent for its price point.
