Seiko has long been praised for producing reliable and durable watches at affordable price points. This affordability makes Seiko watches an ideal canvas for customization. Enthusiasts can acquire a base watch and invest in modifications without breaking the bank, allowing for a personalized timepiece without the hefty price tag associated with high-end luxury watches.  There are now thousands of aftermarket parts catered towards the modding community, and now many homage style mod watches can be crafted without the high price tags of luxury watch brands.

The availability of aftermarket parts and accessories for mod watches allows for endless combinations. Enthusiasts can mix and match components to achieve a wide variety of looks, from vintage aesthetics to modern designs. This versatility in customization appeals to collectors and individuals who want watches that stand out and reflect their individuality.

The popularity of Seiko NH movements within the watch modding community can be attributed to their reliability, affordability, widespread availability, standardized design, aftermarket support, ease of modification, high beat rate, hacking and hand-winding features, and a proven track record in the watchmaking industry. These factors make NH movements an ideal choice for unique and customized timepieces.
