FAQs

How do I set the time on my Sekonda Monica watch?

To set the time, gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side) outwards. Rotate the crown to move the hands to the correct time, then push the crown back in fully to engage the movement.

Is this watch water-resistant?

> Info needed: The general water resistance for this specific model is not provided. As a fashion watch, it is typically resistant to splashes (e.g., hand washing) but should not be submerged in water, used for swimming, or showering. Always avoid excessive moisture.

What is 'gold ion-plating'?

Gold ion-plating is a more advanced and durable form of plating compared to traditional gold plating. It involves vaporizing gold and fusing it to the base metal in a vacuum, creating a harder, more resistant layer that is less prone to scratches and tarnishing.

Can I adjust the bracelet myself?

Bracelet adjustment, particularly for link bracelets, usually requires specialized tools to add or remove links. For the best results and to prevent damage, it is recommended to have a professional jeweler or watch repair shop perform the adjustment.

How should I clean my gold-tone watch?

To clean your watch, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the case and bracelet. If necessary, you can lightly dampen the cloth with plain water, wipe the watch, and immediately dry it thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What type of battery does this watch use?

> Info needed: The specific battery type for this model is not provided. Sekonda watches typically use standard watch batteries. When a replacement is needed, it is best to consult a professional jeweler or watch repair technician who can identify and install the correct battery.

Troubleshooting

First, check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watch technician or jeweler for battery service.

  • Water Exposure: > Info needed: Avoid swimming, showering, or submerging the watch in water unless explicitly stated otherwise by the manufacturer. Even minor splashes should be wiped dry promptly.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original box or a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Impact Protection: While durable, the ion-plating and crystal can be scratched or damaged by hard impacts. Handle the watch with care to prevent drops or knocks.
