My brother is trying to talk me into name brands

My brother collects watches and he wasn’t necessarily putting me down for my Chinese watches but I could tell that he wasn’t that impressed. I don’t really care and I think mine are better other than the name on the dial. It got me thinking of I should get an orient or citizen but I started looking and you get less features for less money. What do you think, would I be getting anything other than a “better” brand? Would they last longer or what?
