A £39.99 smartwatch from Sekonda has been hailed as a budget-friendly alternative to pricier fitness trackers like Fitbit. According to a recent user review, the Track Black Silicone Strap Smartwatch performs just as well, if not better, than more expensive models.
The watch tracks essential metrics including step count, calories burned, heart rate, and sleep quality. It also features sedentary alerts and hydration reminders, which can be set at intervals ranging from 20 to 180 minutes. The user noted that the device helped them stay motivated with straightforward New Year's resolutions: moving more, drinking more water, and getting enough sleep.
Setup took less than five minutes, and the battery lasted approximately 10 days with constant wear. The smartwatch offers specific sports tracking for running, walking, cycling, tennis, and football, though the reviewer noted a lack of options for weight lifting or yoga. Despite this, the watch was praised as a lightweight and non-intrusive accessory suitable for all-day and sleep wear.
Available in colours such as black, grey, and pale pink, as well as metal bracelet versions, the Sekonda smartwatch is priced at £39.99, making it an accessible option for those hesitant to invest in higher-end devices. The reviewer concluded that for straightforward fitness tracking, the Sekonda watch provides all essential features without the hefty price tag.
