This was £80 and looks good and does all these.This watch doesn’t have lots on it but it has the things I wanted.There are different exercise settings but never really use them.I bought the black face / surround with red strap. Looks good on and have had complimentary comments on how good it looks.The strap is a longer length so good for the larger wrists.It works in conjunction with a smart phone App and it links easily and stores all the info in seconds on the App. The App allows you to change the face and settings.I decided to change the strap, that are in abundance on eBay, not because there was anything wrong - just fancied a change.Changing the strap was easy because of the original pins and slider fitting to remove …and a standard 22mm silicone straps fits.If I was disappointed by anything it’s the number of possible faces you could have. I have another sports model that has over 100+ Potential watch faces. Sadly I was charging this watch every 3/4 days.This watch only has a limited number of potential watch faces and none really inspiring… but I have now have found a digital face with sweep hand showing all that I want on the touch screen - so not complaining too much.The step count seems reasonably accurate as is the distance, pulse and body temp read outs.Not sure how accurate the rest is.I get about 6-7days on a full charge which suits me.I think it’s a good buy for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caveat emptor...

S.F. · 29 December 2022

I bought mine for £55 which i think is a fair price for what I think is essentially a sub-hybrid-smart watch with a decent build quality and battery life better than some expensive smartwatches. But don't expect too much for the price and if you're checking the sales info and wondering:1) The bezel doesn't rotate like a scuba watch. The sales graphics show a kind-of groove next to the 50 mark which implies that but actually it's totally smooth and it's a photo distortion.2) The sales graphic claims 100+ watch faces which is nowhere near true and some faces shown (the ones I actually liked) do not exist. For me, the only half-decent face was the primary face it came with. There are a lot of useless gimmicky faces available for kids tho.3) The watch has sports timers but no actual daily alarms which I found a bizarre omission. There is no calendar integration with your smartphone so no workaround for that.4) Yes it presents text messages ok, but they disappear after you glanced at them so you always have to pick up your phone anyway.In my opinion, if the manufacturer solved these issues, which are mostly about software, it could price the watch much higher.

1.0 out of 5 stars App is worse than useless !!!

M.M.S. · 1 December 2022

Watch is ok, but the app that it tries to connect to is absolutly un- usable. 1 you can not sign up on the app to create an account, therefore all functionality is lost.2 if you sign in on the app as a tourist which os the only way you can on to it, it will not let you enter youre email address, you need to do this to set up a password. It simply doesnt work. The watch is advertised as having 100 options for the face, in reality it only has 4, the othets presumably come via the app but these are disabled in tourist mode. Ive wasted 5 hours of my life going round in circles trying to get this crap app work to no avail.Ther is no support from Sekonda or the chinese app developer. Until this is sorted i advise staying well away from any Sekonda smart watches.I bought two for me and my partner both are going back!!!

Good watch for the price nice display & it has all the features I need on a watch and a lot more I don't use. Seems very good quality for the price paid. Battery life I charge it once a week & it seems OK.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not IP68 Waterproof

C. · 2 June 2025

The watch isnt IP68 waterproof at all. While we were hiking, it was slightly raining, and the watch turned off and the temperature of the watch starts to raise enough for me to remove it. After thzt, the sdisplay quality decreased drastically. My wife has a watch which is IP68 waterproof (different brand but similar price), and had no problem at all during the same time.Except that the watch is nice, but if it starts to slightly rain, you need to remove it or it will start to damage the watch. For these reasons i do not recommand it, you can find better watches for cheaper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but doesn't last as long as I would like.

L.i.S. · 16 June 2025

I have had 2 of these in the last 4 years. They both worked for about 18 - 24 months and then shut down for no apparent reason. The first time I thought it was me due to operating the buttons in the shower, hence the second purchase. The second time was clearly not a coincidence so I am moving on from this make now to something that has more functionality and will hopefully be a bit more robust. The plastic straps are rubbish and the holes wear out quickly so invest in leather which, whilst a slightly more expensive option, does last much longer. Claims to be water resistant as long as you don't push the buttons under water or in the shower. switches itself off if you place your hands flat on a surface at 90 degree's to your arms as the buttons get pushed (doing press ups) The watch in itself is good although the App you use to track health is pretty basic. Let down by the second failure for no apparent reason. It just switched off and now won't charge. Also had to by a new charger due to standing on the old one. Cheap replicas on Bolo don't work so go to direct to Seconda for a charger if you need to as they are fairly cheap. Thought it was good enough to buy again so not all bad but will be moving on to a better brand IMO.

It was my first smart watch. Does everything and the battery life is unbelievable. Sekonda is a brand my late father wore. Great watches at great prices. I'm 54 and still remember the Two Ronnies tv ads. Look no further just buy it. Watch 5 Stars. Delivery time and communication from seller would be 1 Star at best......
