43/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 3 of 28 brands
The short version

Seiko covers watches in full for 3 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 28 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.

From Seiko's published warranty, checked October 2026.
