 Sedonda Pocket Watch. February 2, 2010

My wrist watch strap broke. Being rubber, I couldn't get a replacement. For a couple of years I carried it around in my pocket. It took that long for the thought to dawn 'How about a pocket watch'. Trouble is that I'm fussy. I need a big display because my eyes are not good. I hate ticking to the point of removing batteries from clocks in a room; even if it's not my house. I don't have a lot of money either. I'm now retired. I carry keys in my pocket and I needed something that would not scratch. My son played around with my mobile phone to get the biggest display he could but, for some reason the 'clock' came on as a screen saver and then disappeared too quickly.
The Sekonda watch fulfils my requirements. I don't know how to go about it but I'd like to sell them at agricultural fairs and town markets because they are so good. I'm pretty sure I could impress most people.
Stainless steel looks like silver and keeps the price down. To hear it tick you have to be in a quiet room (I mean a meditation room) and press it against your ear. The clip attaches to my jeans pocket so I don't lose it and the display is big enough to be seen on a dark night. Better still, I can put it on a table where I am working and use it as a small clock. The cover keeps it scratch free!
If you know of anyone with my requirements, buy them one of these watches as a present. I guarantee they will always be grateful to you. If you have it engraved they will remember you whenever they use it too.
Just one down side. Being a side opening, the watch will not prop up against things to make a small desk clock. It slips sideways. I'm going to look for something to hang it from or make something myself.

This is a lovely watch for the price, I was very impressed with the quality. My Son hates wearing a wrist watch and asked for one for Christmas. I was loath to buy an expensive one until I know he gets on ok with it, but this is as good as any other more expensive ones I have looked at in the shops.
See through glass panel so you dont have to open it to look at time and a nice sturdy chain.
Excellent service from seller too.

This is my very first pocket watch and I'm delighted. I've never liked wrist watches as they feel so uncomfortable, but this little gem sits nicely in my shirt pocket and is so light it is hardly noticeable. The case has a small round central glass window so one can quickly tell the time without having to open the watch, as there are re Roman numerals engraved on the lid. I've always trusted Sekonda as I once visited a Swiss watch factory and they couldn't find fault with my then cheap Sekonda wrist watch, which incidentally lasted me a great many years. Another nice feature of this watch is that the base is like a highly polished mirror, which might be usefull one day. The overall quality of craftsmanship seems pretty solid, especially the lid hinge which is so often a weak point, but not on this watch. The chain came with a firm pocket clip, not a T bar, which is better for anyone like me who doesn't have a convenient button hole. Oh, and also the mechanism is extremely quiet, even to my exceptional hearing. It's certainly not an annoying ticker.
