Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sequent Smart(ass)

The Sequent Smart(ass) Watch is praised for its unique kinetic automatic movement that converts motion into electricity, offering long battery life and activity tracking without daily charging. Owners appreciate its hybrid smartwatch design for digital minimalism and the convenience of retaining features like heart rate tracking. The 42.1mm polished steel case with a black aluminum band and a dial featuring self-motivational notes is noted as comfortable due to sloped lugs, despite a 14.3mm thickness. It is accurate to within +/- 0.3 seconds per day and features a sapphire crystal. The watch is priced at $549 and is limited to 160 pieces. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Sequent Smart(ass) Watch compelling for its innovative technology and unique design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The self-charging mechanism powered by arm motion is the standout feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses. Reviewers did not explicitly disagree on any points.

Sequent Elektron

The Sequent Elektron is noted for its Swiss-made titanium case, domed sapphire crystal, and automatic movement that generates electricity. Owners appreciate its comfortable wear, practical design, and self-charging technology that mimics automatic watch rotors, potentially eliminating external charging needs. The watch is described as a fitness tracker for watch lovers with a traditional dial, appealing to those who like its understated status. However, the companion app is reported as buggy, and one owner found the included strap unwearable, requiring immediate replacement. Some find the case thick and the strap stiff, with one owner expressing concern about future support and potential magnetic interference. The claim of an "infinite power reserve" is questioned due to the presence of a power reserve gauge.

From video reviewers

The watch's autonomous micro-mechanical charging system, providing virtually infinite power autonomy when worn, is a key strength. Reviewers noted the use of Swiss Super-LumiNova for dial and hand illumination. Reviewers disagreed on the legibility of the blue dial variant.
