I was given the Sekonda Flex smart watch as an April birthday present from my husband. It was my choice. I wanted a large faced watch for everyday use in the garden.

When the quartz movement was later introduced, Sekonda took it as an opportunity to move its manufacturing process to Hong Kong. Therein, it was able to develop more stylish watch designs. By 1988, Sekonda was already the leading watch brand in the UK; and it continued to be so because of the company’s commitment to expansion and innovation of timepieces. Below I’ve put together a list of 5 of the most popular Sekonda watches for men. As always I’d love to hear what your favourite is so let us know in the comments section at the end. It's okay, but only okay. As a straight forward watch it functions well. Disappointing that there's a stopwatch but no timer function.The first obvious choice to see the wide variety of timepieces that the brand has to offer is to visit the Sekonda online shop.

Sekonda are definitely a brand you can trust, they’ve been around a very long time and know what they’re doing. Are their watches any good though? That depends what you personally consider to be good. If you’re asking if Sekonda offer value for money then I honestly feel they do. They’ve very affordable timepieces so you shouldn’t be expecting all these extra bells and whistles, and for what they cost they’re fair. 5 Best Sekonda Watches For Men Sekonda smart watches have a water resistance rating of IP68. Our watches are protected from dust and continuous immersion in water up to a depth of 1.5 metres for a maximum of 30 minutes but is not recommended for swimming or watersports. Additional health functions is the sleep monitoring, it records the total time of deep sleep, as well as light sleep. It will also display the total sleep time between the start time to the awake time.However. Having said all that I do still, perversely, quite like the watch. I wanted a timepiece with a large readable face and one that I could see in the dark. I have that. Want a deeper explanation of hybrid smartwatches? We've put together a full beginner's guide to watches with hidden tech under traditional faces so you know what to look out for. Just like the previous Sekonda watches, this model makes use of a quartz movement and a mineral crystal glass lens. There’s not much in the way of water resistance so I don’t recommend getting this watch wet. It’s perfect for day to day wear or when you’re heading out for a meal perhaps. I'm rather dubious about the accuracy of both the heartbeat and blood pressure functions. It usually records my heartbeat as being roughly 10bmp fewer than they are. All my life I have had hypotension yet this smart watch invariably records my blood pressure as being within normal perameters, even when the old fashioned sphygmomanometer and stethoscope used simultaneously contradict this.

Where Are Sekonda Made?As mentioned in the previous section, the first Sekonda watches were developed and produced in Russia.

The weather app is a joke. Four thermometers in the garden today recording temperatures varying between 38 and 42°C. Met Office forecast is for 40°C. Sekonda weather app suggests temperature of between 18°C and 30°C. Cannot get any other data on the watch and the app on the phone is nearly as bad. Also needs to be reconnected every few days. I don't bother with it as it's neither reliable nor useful. Sekonda may not be as outstanding but it is decent for its price range. Years ago, in the 80s, they were one of the best selling watches in the UK and they are still a great buy for those who are looking for an affordable everyday watch. Where To Buy Sekonda Watches?

Water resistance: IP68. The watch is splashproof and showerproof but not recommended for swimming or watersports. The design of the smartwatch is intended for sports, it is just fitting that the wearable is equipped with several sport functions.
