If you’ve ever wanted a smartwatch but have been turned off by the lifeless digital LCD that seems to be missing a soul (like that of a good old mechanical watch), the Kronaby SEKEL Connected Watch might be just for you. The SEKEL is a digitally connected watch that respects every aspect of traditional timekeeping, maintaining the analog aspects while only giving you the smart functions that you want.
First, let’s talk about the SEKEL like a traditional mechanical timepiece. It has a beautiful sunray brushed blue plated dial and applied indexes. It’s equipped with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and is water resistant to 100 meters. It has a chronograph and a separate 24-hour GMT second time zone, more accurate than any mechanical chronograph or GMT. The 41mm stainless steel case is the perfect everyday size, and it’s pretty affordable.
Already sounds like a pretty impressive watch, but we have yet to reach the best part; let’s talk smart functions. It automatically displays accurate local time, no matter where you travel, even if you don’t set it. The replaceable battery will last 2 years, so you don’t need to wind it or shake it every morning like a mechanical watch, nor do you need to find an outlet every night like a digital watch. It gives you notifications that can be filtered, like incoming calls and messages. You can decline calls with a tap. You can set a gentle, vibrating alarm. It can analyze your physical activity and even send you a reminder if you’ve been inactive for too long. Lost your watch or your phone? If you have one, you can find the other, either through the app on your phone or the pusher on the watch. The pusher can also act as a camera remote, access music or podcasts, GeoTag to remember a particular spot on the map, or send a safety signal to a loved one to follow your every step.
All these functions can be customized in the simple drag-and-drop Kronaby App, to give you what Kronaby calls “ technology made human.” The Kronaby SEKEL uses technology to give you only what you need, with no clutter.
