Graduation Watches
Graduate in style.
It's graduation season. A great achievement and a time of celebration and positive change. A lot of parents, grandparents, friends and even graduates themselves looking for the perfect gift to mark this occasion. It can be hard to know what to get someone on an occasion like this as there isn't a tradition to follow and you can't ask the graduate because that would spoil the surprise!

We think that a watch is the perfect graduation present. We may be a little bias as we sell lots of watches, but here is a list of reasons a watch is the right gift for the occasion.

1. Watches are a memorable gift. This is a day they will remember for their whole lives, so make sure your gift is the cherry on top of this precious memory.

2. Sentimental meaning. This is the moment that the graduate has been working to for 3 or more years! Show them that their time and effort has all paid off.

3. The number one styling tip for interviewee's is to wear a watch because it symbolises their time management skills. As your loved one graduates, help them get ready for the next step with a great quality watch.

4. We have LOTS of stylish watches for Men and Ladies, its easy to find something for anyone's style. Or if you're struggling to choose, check out our top picks (the Monica and Maverick collections) or best sellers.

THE MONICA COLLECTION
Our bestselling ladies collection is our top pick for this years set of graduates. The Monica collection has skyrocketed to internet fame on TikTok for its classic vintage design that is reminiscent of 70's designer watches. With all the love the Monica watch has been getting, the collection has grown to offer more colour ways and strap options and even a gift set.

Rated 'Excellent' by our customers

Great replacement item and great service.

Ordered a replacement watch strap and it arrived within 48 hours and fitted perfectly. Plus it was much cheaper to get the genuine article from the manufacturer opposed to getting a copy from eBay/Amazon.

Bought this hybrid to replace my fossil…

Bought this hybrid to replace my fossil hybrid not as intuitive to use and the fact that it doesn’t have a timer losses a star

John Sharples, 17 Feb 2026

Excellent

Easy to order. Delivered on time and an excellent watch

MR Michael Wainwright, 17 Feb 2026

Everything you need

All you need and no hidden ads and push to buy upgrades and add ons, perfect smart watch

david, 16 Feb 2026

Okey

Looks nice but struggle to pull out the side knob to adjust the time. Stiff clasp, not water proof.

Pretty but not helpful

The watch looks nice and works well as a watch but not very well as a smart watch since it isn't actually compatible with any apps, meaning that the messages will show for a split second and then disappear if not clicked immediately. Also the clasp does seem to occasionally let go and I find my watch to be dangling around my wrist or on the floor. Not ideal and not suitable for me personally.

I have loved Sekonda since my childhood

I have loved Sekonda since childhood. My smartwatch was very basic but their usual watches and designs are timeless. Sekonda is a brand that I will forever love. xx

Received with a dead battery.

I received the watch in great condition and delivery was great. However, the watch did not have a tab to stop the battery from the working. So, the battery was dead and I had to pay to replace it. Needless to say, I am not happy with the extra expense and will not recommend buying directly from Sekonda.

Great Product, Great Price

Excellent dedication and service, and a great watch. Thank you!
