FAQs
What does 50 meters water resistance mean?
The Sekonda Sports Watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands. It is *not* designed or suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or prolonged submersion, as these activities can compromise the seals due to pressure and temperature changes.
How do I set the time and date on my watch?
To set the time, gently pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown to adjust the hands to the correct time. To set the date/day, pull the crown out to the first position. Rotate the crown in one direction for the date and the other for the day. Once set, push the crown fully back in to secure and ensure water resistance.
How should I care for the black leather strap?
To maintain the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and extends its life.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
The Sekonda Sports Watch comes with a 2-year guarantee from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects.
Can I replace the strap?
Yes, the watch features a standard 22mm strap width. You can replace the original strap with another 22mm watch strap of your choice to customize your look. It is recommended to have this done by a professional to avoid scratching the case.
What type of movement does this watch have?
This watch utilizes a reliable Japanese Quartz movement. This type of movement is known for its accuracy, low maintenance, and durability, powered by a battery.
What is a 'sunray dial'?
A sunray dial refers to a specific finishing technique where fine lines radiate outwards from the center of the dial, much like sun rays. This finish interacts with light, creating a dynamic visual effect that makes the dial appear to change shades and shimmer from different angles, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Time or Date not displaying correctly
Gently pull the crown out to the appropriate position (furthest for time, first position for day/date) and rotate to adjust the hands or calendar. Ensure the crown is pushed fully back in after adjustment to resume movement and maintain water resistance.
Watch stops running unexpectedly
First, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still doesn't run, it may indicate a depleted battery. Take the watch to a qualified watch technician for battery replacement to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance.
Fogging or condensation under the glass
This is a sign of moisture ingress, which can damage the movement. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to a professional watch repair service or contact Sekonda customer support. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setting Up Your Watch\nSetting the time, day, and date on your Sekonda Sports Watch is straightforward:\n\n1. To Set the Time: Gently pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands until the correct time is displayed. Once set, push the crown fully back in to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.\n2. To Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first position. Rotate the crown (usually counter-clockwise for date, but test both directions) until the correct date is shown. Be cautious not to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement's date mechanism. After setting, push the crown back in fully.\n3. To Set the Day: While the crown is in the first position (date setting), rotating it in the opposite direction from date adjustment will typically adjust the day. Adjust until the correct day is displayed, then push the crown fully back in.\n\n### Compatibility\nThis watch features a 22mm strap width, meaning it can be customized with a wide range of aftermarket 22mm watch straps if you wish to change its look. The strap itself is adjustable to fit wrist circumferences from 163mm to 212mm.\n\n### Care & Maintenance\n- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 50m, avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or steam. Remove the watch before swimming, showering, or engaging in watersports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.\n- Cleaning: For the case and mineral glass, wipe gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the leather strap, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the strap, as water can degrade leather. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat.\n- Storage: When not wearing, store your watch in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a watch box to protect it from dust and scratches.\n- Battery Replacement: The Japanese Quartz movement requires a battery. When the watch stops, it indicates the battery needs replacing. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to ensure the proper battery type is used and the water-resistance seal is maintained.
