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.

don't expect much
CaseStainless steel, but feels lightweight. The crown cannot be screwed down. The case lock is snap on type. The watch is rated for 50 m, Which is about right for this design. the watch can survive perspiration, rain and probably shower (some other reviewers pointed out that the watch let in water during swimming). This watch is definitely not for swimming, snorkeling or diving (definitely no jacuzzi or sauna). The crown is lacquered, not stamped, crown movement is not very smooth.BraceletQuite cheaply done and rattles a lot. It is difficult to remove links yourself (not regular screw-in pins, still doable), but you can send it away for free adjustment at sekonda. I removed the bracelet and replaced it with NATO strap (black with 2 red stripes). It looks damn good so.Dial and handsReally nice uncluttered design. Second hand is ticking and aligns well with markers, which is unusual for cheap watchesLuminosityLower than average, difficult to see in darknessMovementVery precise quartz movement. After 2 months several seconds gained which is excellentValueDefinitely good buy at £20, no way it is worth RSRP £60.OverallCheaply done watch that looks like a diver. However, once in your hands you will see why you paid so little. It is not Rolex for the masses (although it is far more precise). Definitely not for swimming. Good buy at amazon price, but if you have more money to spend look for Casio, Lorus, Seiko or Citizen

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.

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.
