Any love for Sekonda?
My father owned a Sekonda with batten markers and a manual movement for many years and I have always had a soft spot for them.
Anyone else have warm snuggle feelings for these budget beaters?

Love Vintage Sekondas. So cheap, plentiful and reliable movements from Vostok Raketa and Poljot. Lovely bit of 70s British history on the wrist
I had a couple of quartz Sekondas when I was growing up. They're cheap and cheerful and I definitely have a soft spot for them too. I believe they still outsell Casio in the UK.

I have a yearning for their new Airborne model and the Nordic range.
My go to watch for work for years.
Latest in a long line of work watches,cheap n reliable, sorry no vintage or more fun watches but sound watches and great value.
I bought this on a BA flight back from Moscow in the 80s - still running strong apart from the red seconds timer that has decided to start and stop at 29 seconds :-)
I have several of the Russian vintage Secondas, but I also have a couple of contemporary quartz watches. They have fun designs and you're not buying a "fashion watch."
For work I need something that looks more like jewelry than a watch and can get wet.
Recently purchased this beauty lost mine a few years back and only just been able to track this one down very happy 😊
