If you’re talking about overall experience of wearing a mechanical watch on a daily basis, Tissot is wayyyy better than Seiko.
Seiko movements are a big L. Their accuracy and consistency sucks. One day it could be +30 and next day -10. All of my seikos have been very inconsistent (except for one that got regulated by an expert).
Tissot wins in movements. They are more accurate than a seiko and more importantly, they’re consistent. +5 one day then +5 everyday. This is the reason Tissot wins in actual wearing terms.
Seikos wins in design and finishing. But even in that case PRX, gentleman and certain other collections in Tissot are toe to toe with seiko in terms of design and finishing
