FAQs
Can I swim with this watch?
The Sekonda Catherine Watch has a water resistance of 50 meters. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in shallow water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, as prolonged exposure or high water pressure can compromise its seals.
How do I clean the mother-of-pearl dial?
The mother-of-pearl dial should not be directly cleaned with liquids or abrasive materials. For the case and bracelet, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the bracelet and case, but ensure no moisture enters the watch, especially around the crown.
How do I adjust the bracelet size?
Bracelet adjustment usually involves adding or removing links. For the best fit and to prevent damage, it is highly recommended to take your watch to a professional jeweller or watch technician for this service.
What kind of battery does it use?
The Sekonda Catherine Watch uses a standard quartz watch battery. When it requires replacement, it's best to have a qualified watch technician replace it to ensure the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is re-secured.
What does the 2-year guarantee cover?
The 2-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. It typically does not cover normal wear and tear, battery life, accidental damage, or damage resulting from improper use or unauthorized repairs.
Is the mother-of-pearl dial real?
Yes, the watch features a genuine blue mother-of-pearl dial, which provides its unique iridescent sheen and natural patterns.
Is the alloy case durable for everyday wear?
The silver-coloured alloy case is durable for everyday wear and contributes to the watch's lighter weight. However, alloy can be more susceptible to scratches or dents compared to solid stainless steel, so mindful use and care are recommended to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Watch not running or losing time
Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still isn't running or is consistently losing time, the battery may need to be replaced. Consult a professional watch technician.
Date not changing at midnight
The date change mechanism can sometimes be affected by setting the date during certain hours (typically between 9 PM and 3 AM). Try resetting the date manually during the day, then adjust the time. If the issue persists, a service may be required.
Bracelet feels too tight or too loose
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweller or watch technician to avoid damaging the bracelet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your watch, you may need to set the time and date.
- Setting the Time: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to its furthest position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands display the correct time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date: If your watch has a quick-set date function, pull the crown out to the first position. Turn the crown to adjust the date. If not, you may need to rotate the hands through 24 hours to advance the date. Once set, push the crown back in completely.
Compatibility
The stainless steel bracelet is designed to fit a range of wrist sizes. However, for an optimal fit, it may require adjustment. If the bracelet is too loose or too tight, it is recommended to have links added or removed by a professional jeweller or watchmaker.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain its shine, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For tougher grime on the bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, especially on the mother-of-pearl dial.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant up to 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water, hot water, or steam. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or begins to lose time, it is time for a battery replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
- Avoid Impacts: Though durable, try to avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to harsh impacts, which could damage the alloy case or internal movement.
