Because the parts fit better, there is less friction. Less of a load on the motor means the battery lasts much longer in a Seiko.
They also keep time better.

A cheap movement can be heard across the room, I laughed out loud as I can hear my alarm clock ticking 8ft away thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk quite loudly. You can actually hear it from the living room if the TV is off, perhaps I should look into something made a bit better.
