What is the general opinion on Seiko's? are they viewed as a bit of a cheaper watch?
In the US they generally are viewed as cheaper, mostly because they flooded the US market with cheap quartz watches in the 70s/80s and because they rarely send their good stuff to the US. The 6Rxx calibre automatics are basically for the japan market only, though you can get them via web retailers (seiyajapan is the one I deal with).
That said, at any pricepoint you're going to get a lot of bang for your buck with a Seiko, from a $150 Orange Monster (probably the best value in an automatic ISO-rated dive watch in the universe) up to a $10k Grand Seiko SpringDrive chrono.
