The SGG729 is all of that mentioned. It is simple, clean, elegant, and refined. It has a sporty presence to it which makes it perfect as an everyday watch. But at the same time, it is elegant enough to be worn on formal occasions and with formal attire.

Like most Seiko watches, it will also become very evident when we look closer at it that it offers exceptional value for money. Many people will find that it is a great thing that it has an affordable price as it means you won’t have to baby it, and don’t have to worry too much about getting it scratched.

It’s simply a trusted companion through all of life’s different events.

Without further ado, in this article, we are reviewing the Seiko Titanium SGG729.

Seiko Titanium SGG729 case

As is in its name, the watch features a titanium case. It has a diameter of 37mm and including the crown approximately 40mm. The thickness measures 8mm. With that said, it is a relatively small watch. This makes it particularly good for people with small and medium-sized wrists, but it is also good for those who have a preference for smaller watches. In addition, as an everyday watch, having a watch that doesn’t take up too much attention can be a good thing. It will simply sit discreetly and slim on the wrist.

What further boosts the impression that it is small and discrete is the fact that it is ultra-light due to its use of titanium. The weight details vary, but it should be somewhere around 72 grams, which means you will probably forget that it is on your wrist at times. It’s a nice detail to this watch that makes it more appealing and makes it stand out from the crowd of watches in this affordable price range.

The case design is an interesting one as it has a quirky lug integration into the case. It is presented with a flat round bezel with a satin finish. One level down from the bezel, the case extends slightly from the sides. On the right side, this extension works somewhat like a crown guard as it allows the crown to sit slightly recessed. The crown is a push-pull.

The lugs are pronounced on the case as they point out from the case. These too, are satin finished.

The watch offers a water resistance of 100m/330 feet. This is enough for swimming and showering but not deep diving. With that said, it should be sufficient for what you need in an everyday timepiece.

Sitting on top of the case, this watch also uses a sapphire crystal. This is a huge value proposition for a watch in this price range since most watches use plexiglass. The sapphire crystal is a great thing to have in an everyday watch as it is extremely resistant to scratches.

Seiko Titanium SGG729 dial

The watch features a striking dark blue dial with a sunburst finish. A navy blue dial is a good color in an everyday watch as it is discreet enough not to stand out too much, but at the same time, beautiful enough to ensure you never get bored of it. In addition, it works for just about any attire you choose to wear.

The dial has applied rectangular polished hour markers with slight beveling which reflect the light beautifully. It also shows that Seiko has paid attention to the details.

Positioned at 3 o’clock, we have a day and date window with a beveled metal frame around it. It has a black background with the days and dates printed in white. The black background allows it to blend in very well, and the metal frame matches the hour markers. This is a really handy function that can be useful in your everyday life, so it’s nice to see that Seiko has added it here.

The hands are simple, clean, and elegant. They have a sword shape and applied Lumibrite for improved legibility in the dark. The seconds hand has an arrow tip with Lumibrite which is a nice touch that adds to the sportiness of this timepiece.

Printed on the dial in white, we have the specifications that make this watch special and unique. This means ”sapphire” and ”titanium”. We also have the water-resistance ”100m”.

Seiko Titanium SGG729 movement

The watch is powered by the Seiko in-house quartz caliber 7N43. The battery life is approximately 5 years. The quartz movement is of course very light, which goes very well together with the titanium and light concept.

The most devoted watch nerds may be scared away by the fact that it has a quartz movement, but it does have the benefit of being reliable and accurate, which is exactly what you need in an everyday watch. You want a watch that you simply pick up in the morning and it works. And that is exactly what this movement does.

Seiko Titanium SGG729 bracelet

The watch is presented on a light titanium bracelet with a folding clasp. Now, the ”issue” with affordable watches is that the bracelet is usually the part that is compromised with the most, and this is also the case here.

The lightness of titanium is of course really nice, but the downside is that it can feel a bit cheap. And at the same time, it does have some rattle and does not feel 100% solid. So whilst it is very comfortable and light, it doesn’t give the best impression in terms of quality. But at this price point, it is to be expected.

Specifications

• Diameter: 37mm
• Diameter including the crown: 40mm
• Case thickness: 8mm
• Movement: Seiko in-house quartz caliber 7N43
• Battery life: approximately 5 years.
• Crystal: Sapphire

Conclusion

To conclude this review, we can say that the Seiko Titanium SGG729 really is the perfect affordable watch. It combines the perfect balance between elegance, sportiness, and casualness which makes it extremely versatile. This watch works for casual as well as formal occasions and is therefore a perfect watch for all of life’s different occasions.

Factoring in its price, this watch really offers exceptional value for money if you look at the finish, build quality, and durability.

The lightness offered by titanium means that you will almost forget that you are wearing it. This can be both positive and negative depending on what you prefer. But having an ultra-light watch is something different and unique.

All in all, you really cannot go wrong with the SGG729 if you consider its price.
