SekondaTitan Men's 42mm Quartz Watch in Black with Analogue Day/Date Display, and Black Silicone Strap

As usual from Sekonda, this is a good quality watch which is well made and looks great. It is a decent weight without being too heavy, the strap is comfortable and the watch face is easy to read. It has a day and date function as well as a 24 hour display dial.However, the packaging is really, really poor. It comes in a very thin cardboard box, within which is a cheap felt pouch closed by a popper. For some reason, the pouch on mine had an extra popper at the bottom which is entirely useless. To be fair to Sekonda, the packaging does explain why the packaging is so cheap - but even so, the watch itself is still in a single use plastic bag which rather defeats the object. If you're buying this for yourself, the packaging won't be an issue, but as it is, it really isn't suitable for gifting. It would be nice if Sekonda at least gave the option of a presentation box, even if at an extra cost.So, overall, a lovely, reasonably priced watch badly let down by its packaging.

I love watches and this is definitely now one of my favorites. It is an incredible design that I find stylish and yet rugged. It is very comfortable to wear and even easier to read with the contrasting face and dials. It is the perfect size for me, not too big and not too small. It has a quality weight to it and I have received some great compliments about it. I am very, very happy with this amazing watch.

You may be familiar with Sekonda but you may not know the history of the British brand. They found their niche in 1966 by rebranding and importing soviet timepieces to the UK market. Selling reliable watches for affordable prices. They continued to offer affordable but quality watches throughout the 80s and 90s as they moved their manufacturing to Hong Kong and established themselves as staple on the market. Here we have one of their latest intngr Titan line of watches. Available in three colours I opted for the black design.I was a little surprised by the shape of the box when it arrived. At first I thought I had received the wrong product. But sure enough it is branded Sekonda. With the box there is a pouch and inside you have the watch and a card with a QR code for the manual. For a £79.99 this is a little surprising. While the pouch is ment to be for travelling, the lack of a proper box and manual is clearly to save costs. As for the manual itself the QR code only takes you to a general support site and requires you to input a model number. Even then the manual itself isn't solely for this movement. If you aren't going to include one then they should at least link directly to it.So what if the watch itself. The blacked out design looks smart with with screws around the bezel and a silicone strap. The strap is quick release so can be swapped with easy. The watch face features a date, day and a 24 hour hands. The crystal is quite thick and slightly convex. Which does render some distortion when viewed at angles. The watch case itself is metal and finished nicely in black. While the bezel uses real screws, the casing has some rather clumsy looking cast screw heads. While not deal breaking they are fairly obvious next to the ones used on the bezel. In terms of time keeping so far it has been excellent. The silicone strap is also very comfortable.There is a lot to like about this watch but I have some reservations about the price. The black finish is £10 more than the silver and £5 more than the gold. Then you have to consider the absence of a box. While the pouch is practical it doesn't feel as special as a watch should. Especially when gifting. At £79.99 it is also very close to some entry level time pieces from the mid tier. Of which those typically come with a box. When everything is considered it is certainly worthy of 4 stars.

What a detailed watch, all dials function.As you would expect from the Sekonda range this is a premium watch with a small price tag, the watch face does indeed look stunning with the mesh back and gives it some real depth, the bands are nice and chunky to go with the chunky robust thickness of the watch.Im happy to say that on this one all the dials do work, however to get the week day correct you have to spend a lot of time forwarding the clock to get it on the right day, pulling out the crown to the first setting changes the number date so this is easy.Ful instructions are on line you just need to scan the QR code that comes with the watch and look up model 30230.The bezel is a pitted texture so does stand out against the rest of the mirror finish of the watch.The watch strap itself has a wider array of pin holes closer together meaning it can be more comfortable to find and set the size you need.This comes with a protective case to store the watch in so an added bonus.If you are looking for a high end looking watch as a gift idea then i can recommend this, even if you are looking for yourself and you want one where all the dials work then this is very good value for the money. easy 5 star watch.

This is quite a stunning watch. It is extremely thoughfully designed and even with its 6 hands in total manages to do this in a stylish and understand way without looking overly busy.A lot of thought seems to have gone into ensuring the visibility of each of the dials, the clarity of the display whilst still maintaining the aesthetics. I love the look of this watch. As with many of their watches, with this Sekonda have produced a gorgeous looking watch for a very good price. It comes with a thick silicon watch band, trhat is a similar thickness to a steel watch bracelet.It looks great on the wrist and has a reassuring weight but is not too heavy on the wrist. It’s a beautiful watch and I love the clarity and the attention to detail on the watch face.

This is indeed a fine looking watch, with an overtly sporty look which I think looks great. Quality is excellent, with a smart dial and thick, chunky silicone strap. You can adjust the time, date and day easily enough via turning the crown.As this watch has a largish face and strap I would say that this would be most suited for medium to large wrists, as it may drown smaller wrists.Sporty, very well made, comes with a soft pouch, good value ant least than £70 and I can recommend.
