Looks Great and more expensive
I bought this watch due to it's great looks and very low price. I had no great expectations, even though Seconda manufactures some great quality watches.The watch comes in a simple yet a smart looking black cardboard presentation case, and includes an "Instruction Guide and 2 year Guarantee" and a paper "Bracelet Gauge".This watch looks so lively, with a vibrant red and black bezel and classy dial. In fact it looks much better in real life. And I was blown away by the precise second hand alignment with the ticks!! I have not seen such precision from watches costing ten times the price. Maybe I am lucky and have a one off. I have measured any drifting in time over 3 weeks and it still is spot on.The bezel rotates anti-clockwise producing a solid clicking sound. The watch diameter including the bezel is 4cm, and the watch fascia 3cm.My wrist circumference is 19.5cm, and I needed to move the adjustment pin 3 notches tighter (1cm) in order to have a comfortable fit, so the Seconda should fit wrist sizes up to 21 cm maximum.Call me cheap, but I must admit that I really love this watch :)Update 14th May 14: Another point worthy of mention is the 50m water resistance. I have tested this thoroughly and use it for swimming.Uploaded a couple of photos to show how it looks on wrist, and precise second arm in relation to tick on dial.Bottom line:A cheap yet good looking quality watch which functions very well .... and if you have a look at the Rolex Submariner or GMT Master, you might find some similarities (as far as looks go) :)

Nice looking and good value.
As many have said about this watch, I wanted one that I could wear all the time without worrying about it being knocked or scratched: It is affordable enough to buy a new one each year! Now that I have bought it, it is so nicethat I have decided to continue wearing my old watch for everyday use and keeping this one for more casual "going out" (and my really good one for more formal occasions. The watch is very well finished, easy to read, looks great and the night-time luminosity is more than adequate. My only criticism relates to the bracelet. It is very light, has some nasty sharp corners and does not generally match the quality of the watch. It was, though, very easy to shorten and the instruction book does give the name of a company who can supply replacement bracelets.On the whole, I think I got a great bargain and am very happy with the watch.Also, despite choosing free delivery, it arrived very quickly.

Nice cheap watch
Loving this watch very stylish and lightweight for work or as a cheap main wear. Liked how many micro adjust holes in the clasp, meaning I didn't have to remove any links which look a bit complicated. For 25 quid it'll do for me buy one.

Well worth the money.
For the price, this is a very nice timepiece indeed. Don't expect super high-quality materials, lume pearl etc. but it looks nice and has a nice weight to it on the wrist. For the few days I had one it kept good time. Unfortunately, the one sent to me was shop soiled (had marks and scratches on the bezel and the bezel didn't rotate) so I had to return it. Amazon's return procedure and customer service was 10/10 which helped. If you are looking for an entry-level Sekonda sport watch then you could do a lot worse than this one. Highly recommended and would have got five stars from me had it not been for the problems I had with my particular watch.

A really good watch
Being a mechanical engineer I'm heavy on watches, so much so I no longer buy expensive watches for my working life. They tend to get an accidental smack or scraped against some very rough surfaces, which results in cracked faces and scratches across the face - yes, I should take it off but it's more than a part of me and I don't 'feel' right if I haven't got my watch on, it feels like something is missing, almost naked and that's not going OTT, it's a fact. The watch itself is as waterproof as I need (I'm fond of a bit of water but have never run my bath 50 meters deep!) it's been dropped, knocked and had a life that generally is not experienced by watches worn by less heavy trades people. It keeps good time and is reliable. I would recommend it to anyone whose looking for an accurate, stylish watch that's not expensive.

DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP
THIS IS RUBBISHWhat a total waste of money.I bought this watch in Feb 2015 for my May holiday, touring the US. I first wore it on May 1st and by May 5th the watch face was obscured by a 10mm dia circle of mist on the inside of the glass.This was not a good sign but, I was thousands of miles from home so I persevered.By the time I returned to the UK the watch face was almost invisible, the inside of the glass was so fogged it was hard to tell the time.Within three weeks of wearing the watch, which is not a heavyweight like some reviewers think; this Sekonda weighs just over 90 grams, my old Seiko dress watch weighs 130 grams and my everyday sports watch weighs just shy of two hundred grams, the Sekonda stopped working altogether. For £20 I got a watch that worked well for five days. How bad is that?I will never buy Sekonda again. They prove the old adage that you get what you pay for and in this case £20 got me a pile of junk.This watch deserves no stars, zero, zilch, big fat zero. Amazon don't allow zero so I reluctantly give it one star for having the guts to get sold.NEVER AGAIN.Do yourself a favour, do not buy this watch. Save your money.

Disappointing
On the surface it looks good, but I have recently noticed some bubbling on the bezel as if the surface is lifting. I expected better than this as I am usually a fan of Sekonda watches.
