SekondaConnect Womens 40mm Smart Watch with Heart Rate and Sleep Monitor, Daily Activity, Sports, Music, Weather & Message Functions

The media could not be loaded. Sekonda Connect Smart Watch 40mm with Rose Gold Stainless Steel Strap 40625This is a good looking smart watch with a stainless steel strap in rose gold. When I first tried it on it was far too big and I was unsure how to adjust the strap. Luckily I found a video online on what to do and now it fits perfectly.Its very comfortable to wear and doesn't take long to get used to the controls. When setting up through the app which is downloaded to your phone, you have the option to allow the watch to connect to all your contacts and access your photos. This enables you to receive messages and calls via your watch. The dial is nice and clear and there are many watch faces available through the app.You can quickly check the date, time, heart rate and steps, etc. There is a battery indicator on the dial to remind you when it needs charging.I am sure it would make a lovely gift if not using for yourself. Lovely watch / smart watch from a well known brand which I am happy to recommend.My daughter is now using this watch and she loves it. So far the feature that has really captured her appeal is the ability to add one of your own paintings or photos as the background wallpaper. I have been getting numerous photos sent to me of different pictures she had made and added to the watch.I made a quick video with this review showing you how to alter the strap to fit (hope its helpful).

Very poor quality

Fun to use. Notifies me when emails and Whatsapp messages arrive.Great fun.Lovely

Not suitable.

For the cost here, this is a surprisingly full-featured smartwatch with *a lot* of capabilities. You need to use Sekonda's own app and although it's similar to Google Wear, it's not actually Google Wear. The interface is the usual combination of swiping up, down, left, right and long-pressing, and it has PPG and motion sensors built in for blood pressure, heart rate, SpO2 (blood oxygenation tracking). This is on top of an AMOLED screen *and* the ability to make calls from the watch (i.e. you can talk into it and listen to the caller from it). About the only thing it doesn't do is the Google Assistant or Siri (you can apparently connect this to iPhones too, although I couldn't test this). In short, for under a hundred quid, this has features you'd find on smartwatches costing 3 or 4 times as much - music controls, camera controls, sleep monitoring, notifications, find my watch/phone, gestures and so on.On the downside, the instructions could be better and are very minimal which can be confusing - for example, it's not that easy to figure out how to assign quick dialing numbers to the calling feature, but it will quite happily receive calls from the watch itself, Dick Tracy-style. This is where the Google Assistant on higher-end smartwatches is better, as you can simply give vocal instructions for things without fiddling with the interface - "Call <so and so>", "Start a timer", "remind me" and so on.For the cost, though, the functionality is very impressive here, and it even looks pretty good too. If you've never had a smartwatch, this is a good way to dip your toe into the water.

Started off well. Really liked the watch but after a few months the watch started opening and unfortunately this time it was in the middle of the road. It fell off and was ran over. Not sturdy enough

This sekonda connect smart watch has a nice premium feel to it, it comes boxed well and feels better quality than most of the unbranded smart watches that are available these days.It's a nice size, personally I find it sits a little high on the arm and can catch my sleeves, but I think all smart watches these days are a little chunky. The strap is comfortable to wear.The app works fine, you have to sync the app on your phone to the watch to be able to change the face design and it was a bit of a faff to search through some of the menus to find the option to do this.Battery life seems good - I've been wearing mine all week and it's not run out of charge or notified me to charge up.This watch does offer reasonable value for money, especially as it's a brand name and comes in at less than £100.

The watch is good but the strap clip is poor and un-clips with the risk of losing it. Their return policy is not good in the way of a £15.00 reduction from the original value! All in all they need to do better.
