Seiko Alpinist spb159j -15/+25 per day with sweet price about $450, what do you think, go or not go?

Great watch. And Seiko is often significantly better on accuracy than advertised.

But all the reviews on the web, those had bad comments about it 6R35 movement.

If accurate timekeeping were one of my primary considerations, I personally would avoid the modern 6Rs. I am by no means anal about timekeeping but I previously owned a watch with the 6R35 in it that I purchased new from an AD and it was so far out of spec I had them send it to Seiko for service. OTOH I owned a different watch with the 6R15 and it was consistently well within spec. These are obviously just two examples. However as I said if timekeeping to a spec is a motivator for you, I’d probably look elsewhere.
