What are they thinking? Does the money from the rest of the world isn't good enough?

Very common with Japanese companies. Seiko, as an example using watches, has entire lines that are only available in Japan and are among their absolute best watches. I have gone through specialty middle-men in Japan in order to purchase special Seiko watches and would do so again if I could find the one last model that I want.
Speaking as a recovering Watch Collector
, these models are rather nice for the price they are asking (~$249). Often the promotion branded watches are just pure garbage. If you are into techno watches they present with some nice features, are water resistant to 10BAR, have sapphire crystals, are stainless steel in construction, alarms, dual time zones, and several other features. Among watch collectors I'm like the camera folks that use K1000s and other film-era cameras, I really have almost all manual and automatic watches. The three quartz watches that I have were gifts.
