Sekonda Mens 45mm Smart Watch with Heart Rate and Sleep Monitor, Daily Activity, Sports, Music, Weather & Message Functions, with Rubber Strap.
Yes , not expensive , good app , comfortable to wear (rubber strap) has all the features I need from my first try of a smart watch .recommended as great value for money.
Fed up with band fitness trackers that fell apart after a few months, I decided to go for a smart watch. Very happy with this one, it had proved itself accurate, sturdy and reliable. Good price and very easy to set up and charge.
The watch was easy to set up even though I didn’t manage to locate any instructions on line
Very lightweight.
With hind sight perhaps the yellow strap wasn’t the best option……
Superb value for money, for basic fitness tracking with HR monitor. I have used the high end watches (costing 200-300) and this is a really good alternative, for half the price.
The watch feels solid and nice quality, the screen is quick and very responsive, the step counter and heart bpm monitor seem to be very accurate. A lot of reviews were complaining about the face options on the watch, this is ridiculous because you can literally use a picture from your gallery as the watch face if you choose. The app itself is a little dated looking and a bit clumsy, butI can’t pick out any major flaws with it that would stop me ordering this watch.
I needed a basic step counting watch that gave me the details I needed without having to scroll through it.
This one has the time,steps,heart rate and miles/kilometres on the display.
The only complaint I have is that the wrist action to bring the display on is a bit clumsy and I usually end up just pressing the button.
The battery life is very good and the app has lots of useful information on it.
Genuinly good watch just a few heads up don’t try to connect or pair to your phones default bluetooth settings because if you do the watch won’t show up on the app. For some reason when the watch in not on your arm the touch starts acting weird as if It doesn’t recognise 99% of your touches and when it does it just goes all over the place also if you are wondering how I got that watch face you can use the app (seen in third image) all you have to do is press on push and I think it downloads it to your phone or maybe the watch i’m not sure and then it just changes your watch face
Pros
Battery life – upto a week if push notifications / background activities turned off
Display – good long selection for display
Straps – good so far, no complaints
Cons
App looks outdated
No blood pressure monitor (these days even cheap unbranded smart watches have this function)
Scrolling on display not smooth (not easy to set specific time when using timer function)
Overall for a cheap android based smartwatch it’s pretty solid and good
A great, simple to use, light weight watch. I’m very happy with this product. Just a word of advice though, there’s payment facility on this watch. I knew that prior to purchase so no worries here
1) The bezel doesn’t rotate like a scuba watch. The sales graphics show a kind-of groove next to the 50 mark which implies that but actually it’s totally smooth and it’s a photo distortion.
2) The sales graphic claims 100+ watch faces which is nowhere near true and some faces shown (the ones I actually liked) do not exist. For me, the only half-decent face was the primary face it came with. There are a lot of useless gimmicky faces available for kids tho.
3) The watch has sports timers but no actual daily alarms which I found a bizarre omission. There is no calendar integration with your smartphone so no workaround for that.
4) Yes it presents text messages ok, but they disappear after you glanced at them so you always have to pick up your phone anyway.
In my opinion, if the manufacturer solved these issues, which are mostly about software, it could price the watch much higher.
It’s a fun cheap item at 80 and seems quite accurate with good graphics & a touch screen to cycle thru options.
The sports mode is limited, no gym or swim options but oddly basketball and climbing as well as Walk, Run & Riding.
Watch links to a HitFit Pro App on your phone but on reviewing available watch faces, they were all quite childish. This makes me think this watch is aimed at Juniors/Teens and functionality although good is limited but enough to track your everyday movements. Sleep function is clever identifying deep & lite sleep with total time asleep.
Apparently plays music but I cannot workout how this operates!
Finally, it reports your phone messages (you can select which app), but text is small & it disappears quickly from screen when reading!
Overall a good watch for the price, a nice starter for a Smart watch, but I think I’ll be handing this down to my 13yr old son & buying something more professional.

I bought this watch to measure my walking and general fitness which isn’t bad.
The accuracy is not too bad on my daily movements and also when I’m on a bike in the gym.
But it lacking things I’d expect on the watch and others that shouldn’t be on there. Would of been great if it did updates of activities that I could add to make it a better experience.
It shows time and physical activity, it also measures your blood pressure and your timing of the amount of movement that you do. How accurate it is I try not to completely rely on the data but use it as a guide but happy all the same
My Apple 7 Watch was 400 with a extra strap and charger but I never used all the things I had in it.
I was only interested in the sleep function, weather, steps, temp and mileage. This was 80 and looks good and does all these.
This watch doesn’t have lots on it but it has the things I wanted.
There are different exercise settings but never really use them.
I bought the black face / surround with red strap. Looks good on and have had complimentary comments on how good it looks.
The strap is a longer length so good for the larger wrists.
It works in conjunction with a smart phone App and it links easily and stores all the info in seconds on the App. The App allows you to change the face and settings.
I decided to change the strap, that are in abundance on eBay, not because there was anything wrong – just fancied a change.
Changing the strap was easy because of the original pins and slider fitting to remove and a standard 22mm silicone straps fits.
If I was disappointed by anything it’s the number of possible faces you could have. I have another sports model that has over 100+ Potential watch faces. Sadly I was charging this watch every 3/4 days.
This watch only has a limited number of potential watch faces and none really inspiring but I have now have found a digital face with sweep hand showing all that I want on the touch screen – so not complaining too much.
The step count seems reasonably accurate as is the distance, pulse and body temp read outs.
Not sure how accurate the rest is.
I get about 6-7days on a full charge which suits me.
I think it’s a good buy for the money.
