Please, help on my research
Hi, guys I 'm new to the community.
Rencently, I have been looking into some japanese day-date quartz to be my everyday, set and forget, beater watch and find it's very hard to navigate through the lack of info or just plain misinfo on these items. I have a small wrist of 14.5 cm - 15 cm and this is why finding info, especially lug-to-lug, on these items was so frustrating. If seems less people care to specify them in youtube reviews or put them on ebay descriptions. Even the company's own website won't do these items any justice.
I will name a few brand Seiko and their subs Alba and Lorus, Casio, etc. (I even bought a wrong-size strap trusting an info from one seller input on one auction site).
Any tips? or sauce I can dive into?
Right now I'm looking into this model alba 7n33 k002 and google spitted out one with numerals and one without.
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
Do you absolutely need quartz?
The Seiko SARV001 can be found on eBay or importers, like Sakura Watches, for +/- $160.
One cannot find a better deal on a Seiko ⌚.

Thank you, Sawtelle for your kind suggestion. I haven't mentioned but one of my beater's definition is a throw-away price tag lol. Anyway pretty sure this model came across at one point when I googled for "day date seiko white dial" unfortunately my wrist won't allow me to wear these and don't look like a kid if you know what i mean. I have tried a sprj87 on and that one was 36.4mm (44.4 lug to lug) still too chunky since the edge of the lug float off my wrist. So SARV001 , at 51.5mm I believed, is way too big for me.

Understand.
Just so you know, though, that the SARV001 has a 22 mm lug width with many aftermarket bracelet options, should that interest you.
Good luck with your ⌚ hunt.
Try a 36mm quartz Seiko, the SUR347P1.
36mm with 18mm bracelet if you want to swap straps later on.

I also found the White dial equivalent, SUR447. Looks so good but the official info page says it was 47.5 lug-to-lug so sadly definitely going to overhang from my wrist. such a shame could have been a perfect one for my beater description

Ah yeah. Seiko kinda makes the most random stabs for their cheaper watches. A 36mm in one colourway and the rest in a 40mm case. Pity.
Update : I have found it, my everyday, beater thrown-away day-date quarz
It's Casio 1239D Silver dial
On Second thought it may not take as much beating since the case is not stainless steel and the glass is obviously not sapphire but I can always replace it with another whenever I feel like (these millennials don't repair things anymore) and the quartz movement is practically Nokia3310.
