Xmas Watch

Hi guys, this is my first thread in this forum

Anyway, i needed a new watch and my grandma had given me money to pick a gift, so i decided on this.

Whats your thoughts on it? It looks great on and i have gotten complimented on it. Ill try and post a picture of it in the flesh at some point

I know this isn't a high end watch or anything, but it was one that i knew i wanted it as soon as i seen it.

I must admit I had never heard of SEKONDA. I googled and found that for twenty years they have been the # 1 watch in the UK !
That was a surprise....Looks nice....I was also surprised that they consider an "automatic" to be quartz! We do not speak the same
language it seems. It's nice looking. Is it an (automatic/UK, Quartz) or mechanical? What size is it?.......

I'm not familiar with the brand, but it is a VERY sharp watch. Nice choice!

It obviously spoke to you and makes you happy so I think it's a great watch!

That said, I also think it looks very nice!

Nice. Hard to go wrong with black.

Thanks guys Im a noob tbh i know nothing about watches. It just says "Quartz movement" haha

Heres a picture of it on, sorry for the bad quality, the lighting in my room isn't great and its night.

Oh that's a nice watch. And some nice bit of ink as well.

Automatic watches are self-winding ie. they need no battery and are wound by the slightest movement of the owner's wrist. Rolex invented the modern automatic back in the 1930s.

A quartz watch is powered by a battery - it keeps time by pulsing electrical current through the tiny quartz crystal, which oscillates at a predictable rate and hence keeps very accurate time. Quartz watches can have either an analog dial with the traditional hands or have a digital display - or both.

Very classic chrono styling. Fits your wrists nicely and you like it!

i like it ! very sharp

Sweet looking looking watch that one, as has been mentioned, very classic chrono style.

Sekonda originally started out selling cheap watches with Soviet movements, my Grandfather swore by them back then.

That is a very attractive watch.

Smart looking classic chronograph, very nice--wear it in good health and enjoy it.

Thanks guys

Hope it works out for you. If I remember rightly, Sekondas are made in Russia. I bought one twenty years ago or so,and its mechanical movement didn't last very long, but you should do better with quartz.
