“

Owners widely praise the Seiko SQ Quartz for its excellent timekeeping, with one example running within 5 seconds a month. The 36mm case size is considered ideal, though the integrated bracelet can make it wear larger. Some owners note a perceived fragility and the need for a new crystal on their examples. One owner found the bracelet alone worth the $20 purchase price, while another criticized its cheap feel. Overall, owners value the Seiko SQ Quartz for its reliable quartz movement and comfortable wearability, with its price often reflecting sentimental value more than market worth.
