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.

Gorgeous watch for reasonable price.

Happy with my purchase.

Anna, 23 Feb 2026

Good Experience

New watch straps arrived quickly, within 2 days of ordering, however there was a limited selection of 20mm straps on the website

Dean Vickers, 23 Feb 2026

Excellent customer service

The buying process was excellent, customer service spot on. Royal mail delivered to the wrong house, which we didn't know, when I reported a failed / missing delivery the Sekonda Customer Support team where excellent and immediately offered to send a replacement. However the watch turned up, at another neighbours house. Only Royal Mail let the delivery process down.

It would be nice to receive and make…

It would be nice to receive and make calls at this price, this model does not. All health readings must be 95% correct, which I have not checked. THE STEEL CASEING IS BRILLANT WITH GENUINE LEATHER SYRAP MAKES IT A TOUCH OF CLASS.

Roger Sibley, 20 Feb 2026

I am happy with this watch

I am happy with this watch, the battery lasts about 5-6 days.

Gabriela Haleta, 20 Feb 2026

The watch is disappointing.

The watch was dispatched and delivered very quickly. The watch was unfortunately rubbish. It was billed as the "watch for a long run". The gps is poor. I used it for 2 runs. The gps didn't kick in until about 300m into both runs. It doesn't have the capacity to add apps from the phone such as the Ring doorbell. Battery life was poor. Fully charged it, wore it one day and for one run and it dropped to 40%.

Chris Bury, 20 Feb 2026

Quality watch

Quality watch! Great price point! Great experience so far!

Rajesh Phanse, 20 Feb 2026

I am delighted with my purchase. It's stylish, comfortable to wear and compliments whatever I am wearing.
