Sekonda Motion Plus Smart Watch 36mm (30221) with Silver Stainless-Steel Strap
Product description
If you’re after a smartwatch that does the basics well, plus a few extras for day-to-day health and notifications, the Sekonda Motion Plus is worth a look. It’s the sort of watch you’d wear for routine fitness tracking and “smart-lite” features without needing to dive into the more complex side of wearables.
One caveat, though: some features (like messaging details, call control and music/weather functions) are heavily dependent on your phone setup and how much you’re willing to interact with a small screen. Still, for everyday motivation and practical monitoring, it ticks a lot of boxes on paper.
The essentials
The Sekonda Motion Plus Smart Watch (36mm) focuses on routine activity, sports-style tracking and everyday convenience. It counts steps, tracks distance and calories, and brings that information together in a guided way so you can follow your fitness goals. There are also 15 sports modes, letting you switch between activities such as walking, running, cycling, rowing, yoga, football and Pilates (plus more).
On top of movement tracking, it’s built around monitoring and communication touches you can use during the day. You can view a weather forecast, view message notifications and dial, and handle calls over Bluetooth calling by accepting or rejecting.
Key features that you’ll actually notice
The display is customisable, which matters more than it sounds. You can pick from preset designs downloaded from the app, or add your own image. There’s also control over the ‘always-on’ display in the settings, and you can enable a password lock for added security.
Health and wellness monitoring includes heart rate, blood oxygen and body temperature monitoring, alongside guided breathing exercises. If you like to keep an eye on recovery, it also includes a sleep monitor aimed at tracking “beauty sleep”.
For hands-free extras, there are remote camera and music controls, plus alarm and a set of utility functions like ‘find my watch/phone’. It also supports 17 language settings, which can be handy if shared use or travel is part of your life.
Sports and daily activity tracking
With steps, distance and calorie tracking, plus 15 sports modes, this is positioned as a wearable for regular movement rather than extreme training. The modes cover a broad mix, from cardio-style sessions (like running or cycling) to more structured practices (such as yoga and Pilates).
A practical example: imagine you’re doing a lunch break walk. You start a walking session (or simply rely on daily steps), glance at the watch later to see your step and distance totals, then check sleep monitoring at the end of the day. That kind of simple loop is where this watch fits best.
Do note that “sports modes” doesn’t automatically mean it’s designed for performance coaching. If you’re specifically trying to extract highly detailed training metrics, you may find it a bit more general-purpose.
Display, connectivity and usability
The watch uses a touchscreen display (1.83 inch). It connects using standard USB charging with magnetic connection, and the strap is an interchangeable silver-plated stainless-steel bracelet with quick release spring bars.
In terms of phone compatibility, it’s designed to work with Android version 7.1 and Apple iOS version 12.0 and above. You’ll need the Sekonda Smart app, which you can find by searching for “Sekonda Smart app” in your smartphone.
Battery life is stated as up to 10 days with low use. That gives it an advantage versus models that demand frequent daily charging, but real-world battery life will depend on how often you use features like always-on display and Bluetooth calling.
What to know before buying
It’s IP67 water resistance, which is reassuring for everyday wear (like being caught out in light rain or washing hands), but it’s not the same as being designed for deep water activities. If you’re planning to swim or do anything that involves sustained water exposure, you may want to double-check how you intend to use it.
You’ll also want to think about fit. The bracelet supports a maximum length of 210mm and a minimum length of 140mm, with removable links. That range should cover many wrists, but if you sit near the extremes, it’s worth checking whether the strap can be adjusted comfortably.
Finally, as with most smartwatches in this style, screen interaction is limited by size. If you expect long message threads or complex app control directly on the watch, it may feel restrictive.

When it makes sense?
It’s a good fit if you want a smartwatch for everyday activities (steps, distance and calories), appreciate having multiple sports modes, and like practical extras such as call accept/reject, weather checks and message notifications. If you also care about sleep monitoring and basic health metrics (heart rate, blood oxygen and body temperature), it covers those needs in one place.
It may not be a great match if you’re chasing detailed, high-end training analytics, or if you expect to do a lot of reading and replying on a small display. It might also be worth thinking twice if you need strong swim-focused water resistance, as the IP67 rating is best considered for typical day-to-day exposure.
So, should you buy it? If your goal is a wearable for routine fitness, simple monitoring and “good enough” smartwatch convenience, the Sekonda Motion Plus looks like a sensible everyday pick. If you want maximum sophistication or deep water use, you’ll likely want to look elsewhere before committing.
