You can see how the numbers have worn along the edges of the inner and outer bezels, especially at about the five o'clock position. I think this is an inherently bad design, whether made by Citizen or any other watch manufacturer. This problem is eliminated by the design of the GN-4W-S, because both rings of the calculator are protected under the bezel.
Perhaps the Seiko has more durable imprinting than the Citizen. As I said, I don't have any experience with that watch. I own Seiko watches, too, and they certainly match the quality of the Citizens I own. That said, and given my experience, I would not buy any watch with a similarly designed calculator. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
