yes but orient has their own inhouse calibres and very distinct design language. Their watches are either quirky enough to be nice or just downright ugly (but still quirky)

orient does not have the same clout and suck at marketing so you can buy their top grade Orient Star watches for $300 when a seiko equivalent would be like $800

I'll tell you just because you remind me of myself. I'm half Cuban so I was teach Spanish growing up, however I hate the language mostly because I despise latinos, and I'd hate people putting me on that group if the see the spanish on my wheel. My first Seiko 5 was in spanish, so this bothered me a lot for a while. My second one I managed to get on arabic, which got on france, then finally learned that JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) are the one with the Kanji wheel. They're a bit harder to come around, but not impossible. Search for JDM seikos or SARY055 and SARY057 ones. What I did the first time was just get a Kanji date wheel and get a friend to swap it for me, until I realized that JDM seikos also have a dumb little "made in Japan" inscription, that's barely noticeable, but I'm autistic so I wanted the real thing. Ended up getting one when I went to Japan, but you can definitely get them online-

watches serve a real function in many jobs and situations. Police, military, firefighters, mechanics, any manual or outdoors work when a phone is not convenient and when both hands are dirty or engaged. Its very helpful to have the time at a moments glance. Maybe instead of being hateful you can try out a $10 casio watch and experience for yourself that it isnt as useless as you think it is. And its also an extra avenue for you to express your aesthetics.
