I have seen it before.And he writes at the end that there have been issues with accuracy.There is no real way to compaire these calibers in a fair way.Because you have to look at the overall quality-longivity.service costs-material-etc etc etc.Only a watchmaker who works with these calibers will have any answer to these questions.I take what i read about them with a pinch of salt.Because many of the people who write about them,are in the pockets of various watch brands.Witch ever way you look at it,ETA-Mioyta make run of the mill workhorse calibers with various standards of finish.ETA have built some of the greatest workhorse calibers in the watch world,and they have a reputation that Mioyta do not come even close to.This could change in the future,who knows.Some of the greatest complication watches in the world,have been made from ETA calibers.Mioyto have not reached these hights yet.ETA calibers have also a reputation with watchmakers that Mioyta can only envy at this time.Personally i would rather buy a watch with a high end quartz caliber,than a run of the mill ETA or Mioyta mechanical caliber.And putting a glass case back on these watches is a joke.Lets face it,when you buy watches in the lower price class,you are also getting a little lower quality.This is a fact of life.Do not expect to get the best quality in this type of watch,because you will be disapointed.Try reading Mads article on the various finish and work done on calibers.I do not agree with everything he wrote about them.But he has put things into a excellent perspective,and you can see that price does often follow quality.Nothing is free in this world,and especially quality.

PS.I would just like to add one little point.Mioyta are a massive concern,and from past experience with the Japanese watch industry.I would not be supprised to see them at the top of the mass producing caliber tree in the future.They have the ability to really threaten the dominence that ETA have had for many years.And with the gap left with ETA only supplying calibers to the Swatch Group,and only finished calibers to brands outside of Swatch,then the way is open for Mioyta.But again they will have to fight against the Swiss brand snobbery.Remember what Tag Heuer went through, they had all the watch snobs on their backs,when they developed a caliber based on a Seiko caliber.It was a good caliber,but because it was Japanese it was looked down upon.Its quite funny really,because many people still look down on Japanese cars,even if they are better made and more reliable than their European counterparts.The watch world is not that different <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
Before anyone reminds me that Tag kept quiet about the Japanese conection in the development of their caliber,i am aware of this.But it was the Japanese connection,that really pissed the purists off.
