Sekonda Watch

Dud battery

I couldn’t be happier with my Sekonda analogue watch! It combines classic design with a modern touch, making it perfect for both casual and formal occasions. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the quality far exceeds expectations for its price point. The watch feels comfortable on the wrist, with a durable strap and clear, easy-to-read dial. The precision of the movement is spot-on—I never have to worry about it losing time. Plus, the battery life is fantastic, meaning I don’t have to fuss over constant replacements. For

Optisch sieht das Ding sehr modern und sportlich aus. Die billige japanische Quarz-Mechanik funktioniert doch einwandfrei und genau. Die Uhr kann Wasser und Sand überstehen. Also ideal für Outdoor-Aktivitäten. Der Preis 37€ ist auch sehr attraktiv.

Easy enough to set-up, despite the lack of instructions - cycle through the hours by manually moving the hands forward (crown fully extended) until you arrive at the correct day of the week (allowing for am or pm of course. Then use the 'crown half out' position to choose the correct date (again allowing for am or pm). As for the pros and cons: the strap length is only just okay for me, but this has involved utilising the last hole for the most comfortable experience. My wrist size is 7 and 5/8 inches, so be aware that you will need another strap if yours is upwards of that. Of course there are plenty of silicone straps online for just £2-3, so it is not a big issue. This particular strap is incredibly soft and flexible, and so it stretches slightly as you flex your wrist, and you'll hardly know that you are wearing a watch. The indentation marks that it will leave on your wrist are however quite prominent; bad in one sense, but the grip that the strap provides does mean you can wear it on a slack setting and the watch still won't easily spin around. Style-wise, I guess every potential buyer will make their own judgement on the different shades of blue (hands, fake bezel, strap) and whether dark-ish blues complement a dark-ish grey dial. I'm slightly on the fence, but the bright silver polishing and white markers distract the eye quite a lot, so on balance, the colour combination seems okay to me. The timekeeping accuracy (Japanese movement) seems perfect over the 24 hours I've had it. All in all, this has been a worthwhile re-connection with a manufacturer I last used in the 1970s. The watch is undoubtedly an incredible bargain when a third or more has been discounted from the usual price. At full price, I would advise to spend a little more and purchase the Casio Duro, which is more classy looking, while still delivering on affordability and the large case size you are probably seeking.

Schöne Uhr aber ungenau, geht nach.

Style want for me and returned, but nothing wrong with the watch at all. Comes nicely packaged.
