Wave Mens Watch – 39mm Sports Watch for Men, Rotating Bezel, Stainless Steel Bracelet and Date Window – 50m Water Resistant – 2 Year Warranty

I bought this to avoid me Having to take my good watch away on holiday. I bought the blue one for the summer evening vibes. It does the job, looks decent on my smallish wrists and has been excellent in terms of time-keeping. I’d read issues with people who wore it in the pool, so did not risk that, but it was fine dealing with torrential rain and sweat. The watch itself is fairly light-weight, the rotating bezel has a wee bit of give and the lume is not very bright, but for the price I paid (on a time limited deal) these are fairly picky points. In general, the finishing is good. Bracelet can be shortened without taking somewhere, but perhaps watch a YouTube video first as these sekonda links are not your usual links. The bracelet is clearly not on a par with a quality watch, but what are you expecting at this price? In summary, decent looking ‘divers style’ watch that you don’t have to worry about too much if knocked about or lost on holiday. Perhaps avoid any actual diving or swimming though!

Great, looks good, watch box doesn't fit the watch if adjusted though and hard to adjust if never done before

Great looking watch and value for money. More than happy with my purchase. I would highly recommend.

The watch was of appropriate quality for the £20/- just with in 10 days of purchase, the time slowed down by < 6hours. Not sure why. I have to reset the watch timings. The bracelet feels cheap & flimsy.

Incredible value for money. OK there are an infinite number of "diver's" watches out there (or styled as such) and many that are better than Sekonda's offering but if you are just looking for a cheap, basic, well-made, good looking submariner homage then i dont think you can do better at this price point. I found the bracelet a bit rattly and cheap, so I could have dropped a star for this however i always intended to replace it. I have had this watch on a black/red/grey NATO strap and also a silicone diver's strap (either can be found for a few quid) and in my opinion both options made it look and feel more expensive than it is. At 39mm this is more suited to smaller wrists. It fits me fine although i do like a larger watch. Overall, an unbeatable cheap daily watch.

It's an ok watch but for the money that I paid it's okay just I thought the face would have been bigger

This is a great budget watch in the classic Submariner style. The design is simple, and very clean, but well finished. On the whole, it looks and feels like a far more expensive and luxurious offering than the cost suggests. Obviously, the price is one of the more attractive aspects of this watch, but it does have some genuinely good features too. The dial markers are crisp and well printed, and the finishing on the lumed pips and hands is of a high standard. The hands are clear and easily distinguishable, and the date feature is a nice extra. It is "50m" waterproof, which is fine for swimming however despite the dive watch style, I wouldn't want to try taking this watch diving. The case itself is solid, and well proportioned, coming in at around 40mm, which is smaller than most modern divers watches, but far more in line with the classic dimensions of the original watches from which this is inspired. Perhaps the worst feature is the bracelet, followed by the bezel. I personally found the bracelet extremely lacking in quality or substance, but this wasn't a particularly big problem for me, as I planned to exchange it for a strap anyway - it was very simple to remove and I replaced it with a black fabric strap by CWC. I personally use mine in the gym and in the pool, and this strap is far better suited to these environments. However, there's nothing actually wrong with the bracelet, it looks good enough, and it's definitely amongst the best at this price, but it still has that cheap rattly feel. The bezel is also a little lacklustre, compared to others it's quite stiff to operate the clicks, and there's limited purchase due to the relatively shallow cuts of the scalloped edge, it would be much easier to turn if these were deeper to increase the grip on the sides. It is also a little wobbly, you can rock it backwards and forwards a small way within each click. The bezel finish is also a little mediocre, the red and blue finishes both look a little metallic, dull, and flat, rather than the smooth, deep shine of a higher end piece. However, this is an incredibly inexpensive watch and the quality here is still far, far better than I anticipated. Many similar watches don't have a properly locking, unidirectional bezel at all, but one which just slides around. There are a couple of other things that perhaps show the true price of this watch - the rather ineffective glow of the lume which is barely visible at all, even if properly charged, is perhaps one of the more obvious "tells" that this is a £20 watch rather than a £200 or £2000 one. It also lacks the ability to be taken to any real depth as despite its diving watch inspired style, it doesn't have a screw down crown, and the back is snap fit rather than threaded back or one secured with small screws, two features which in general limit the water resistance. It could definitely be done at this price point and indeed if you are looking for a true diving watch, alternatives like the Casio Duro offer a true 200m rating at a comparable cost, although they are perhaps less stylishly proportioned. Equally, the glass is quite reflective, and it picks up smudges easily. In bright light the glass can cause a white, washed-out effect over the dial that limits visibility from certain angles. However, I'd definitely recommend this watch. It's a great casual piece, ideal for taking to the gym, the pool, or for outdoor activities and sports. I imagine that it could definitely work with a suit or other smarter clothes too, if you're a fan of diving watches in the workplace. It offers a really good balance of style and durability that makes it a versatile watch. On a budget, this could comfortably be your only watch to suit almost all situations. I'd say it's most ideal as a watch for students, young adults, as a casual piece, or in environments (e.g. paint shops, garages) where an expensive watch would not be suitable. As a quick summary: Pros ------ + Price + Style + Easy to read + Dial printing is crisp and clear + Overall build quality is good + Date function and rotating, ratcheted bezel + Well sized, comfortable to wear + Some degree of water resistance Cons ------ - Bracelet is mediocre - Bezel is stiff and can be difficult to turn - Luminescent glow is very poor, almost non-existent - Glass is quite reflective and can "wash out" the dial at certain angles - Limited water resistance belies the traditional diving style

Fantastic value for money. It looks superb, very Rolexesk, people who see it cannot believe the price. Keeps perfect time. Clasp nice and strong.

Sinceramente il più alto rapporto qualità prezzo mai visto! L'orologio è leggero, ben fatto, resistente e sicuramente non mi affiderei per farcinuna immersione ma per l'uso di tutti i giorni è bello e va benissimo! Unica miglioria possibile il cinturino, ma quello in dotazione va benissimo ha tante regolazioni e ripeto l'orologio vale molto più di quanto costa!

Tout à fait conforme à mes attentes. Nous verrons dans la durée...

je viens de recevoir ma montre Sekonda , je m'attendais à une grosse daube , j'ai été agréablement surpris , très bonne finition , les points sont lumineux dans le noir ça me rappelle mon ancienne Kelton de plongée des années 80 , pour 30 euros elle vaut vraiment le coup , ce qui m'a plu dans cette montre c'est qu'au niveau de la fenêtre de la date il n'y a pas une loupe sur la lunette pour voir le chiffre chose que je trouve vraiment horrible , je viens de re mesurer elle a bien un diamètre de 40mm pas de 39mm (pareil que la ROLEX submariner) , conseil faites vous livrer en colis Premium sinon il y a des risques de vol durant le transport , hors Premium l'emballage est merdique il n'est pas scootché le colis s'ouvre d'une main , je la recommande .

Für den Preis sieht die Sekonda Herren-Sportuhr wirklich sehr gut und schick aus. Sie lässt sich angenehm tragen und macht insgesamt einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Das Armband ist allerdings etwas leicht und erzeugt beim Bewegen einen recht metallischen Klang. Darüber kann man bei dem Preis aber hinwegsehen. Insgesamt ist es eine sehr schicke Uhr, die man im Alltag gut tragen kann und die für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert ist. Habe einen Fehler auf der Lünette, aber stört nicht
