FAQs

How do I set the time and date on my Sekonda Classic Watch?

Gently pull the crown out. For date, pull to the first position and turn. For time, pull to the second position and turn. Once set, push the crown fully back in.

Is this watch waterproof?

The product description does not specify a water resistance rating. To ensure the longevity of your watch, it is best to avoid all contact with water, including showering, swimming, or heavy rain.

What kind of battery does the Sekonda Classic Watch use?

The specific battery type is not provided in the product information. For battery replacement, it is recommended to take the watch to a professional watchmaker who can identify the correct battery and ensure it's replaced without damaging the watch or its seals.

How should I clean the gunmetal case and stainless steel bracelet?

Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

How can I adjust the size of the stainless steel bracelet?

Bracelet adjustment typically involves adding or removing links. This process often requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watch technician to avoid damaging the bracelet.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

The Sekonda Classic Watch (1140) comes with a 2-year manufacturing guarantee, covering defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running or keeping accurate time.

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery service.

Date display is not changing at midnight.

Check that the time is set correctly for AM/PM. If the watch thinks it's 10 AM when it's 10 PM, the date change will occur at noon instead of midnight. Adjust the time by 12 hours if necessary.

Bracelet feels too tight or too loose.

The stainless steel bracelet can typically be adjusted by adding or removing links. This usually requires specialized tools and is best done by a jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage.

Condensation appears under the crystal.

This indicates moisture ingress, likely due to water exposure or a compromised seal. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting the Time and Date

  1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the case) out to its first or second position. The crown usually has two positions: one for setting the date and one for setting the time.
  2. Set the Date: If your watch has two positions, typically the first click allows you to adjust the date by turning the crown. Adjust until the correct date is displayed.
  3. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position (second click) to adjust the time. Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is set. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the date and time, especially if your watch has a 24-hour cycle or changes date around midnight.
  4. Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown firmly back into its original position to start the watch mechanism and ensure it is sealed.

Compatibility

This Sekonda Classic Watch is a versatile accessory compatible with various fashion styles, from business attire to smart casual. It's suitable for daily wear for most adults.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To maintain the gunmetal alloy case and stainless steel bracelet's appearance, wipe them regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Exposure: The product description does not specify a water resistance rating. To protect your watch, avoid exposure to water, including showering, swimming, or heavy rain.
  • Impact Protection: Avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to severe shocks, which can damage the internal movement or external components.
  • Temperature Extremes: Protect the watch from extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) and sudden temperature changes, as these can affect battery life and movement accuracy.
  • Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or becomes inaccurate, the battery likely needs to be replaced. This should ideally be done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and to prevent damage.
