Introduction to Lee-Martin Seymour
Lee-Martin Seymour is an Australian entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and driving force behind Xref, one of Australia's most prominent automated reference-checking platforms. Built to streamline the hiring process for businesses and HR professionals, Xref has grown into a widely used tool across the Australian recruitment sector and beyond. Seymour occupies the kind of role that sits at the intersection of technology, business development, and people operations — a background that tends to produce founders who are practical, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating at pace.
The Lee-Martin Seymour watch collection, while compact in our database with one confirmed sighting so far, already says something concrete about his approach to accessories. Seymour has been photographed wearing the Huawei Watch W1 Active in an all-black stainless steel configuration fitted with a matching link bracelet. The W1 Active, launched in 2015 as part of Huawei's first serious push into the premium smartwatch category, was deliberately designed to appeal to watch-aware consumers rather than pure tech adopters. The all-black Active variant in particular leaned into a more utilitarian aesthetic compared to its sibling, the W1 Classic, which favoured warmer tones and a dressier finish.
Choosing the W1 Active rather than a conventional luxury watch — or indeed a more recent smartwatch — suggests Seymour is drawn to pieces that serve a clear functional purpose without sacrificing a considered design. For a founder whose company is built around efficiency and removing friction from professional processes, a smartwatch that was purpose-built to bridge two worlds — wearable technology and conventional watch design — is a coherent fit. It is a low-profile choice that rewards closer inspection, which in watch terms is usually a good sign.

The Huawei Watch W1 Active was one of the first Android Wear timepieces to genuinely challenge Swiss design conventions, borrowing a round case silhouette and sunray dial from classical horology while hiding a 512MB RAM, 4GB storage smartwatch platform underneath. CEO and Co-Founder of Australian HR-tech firm Xref, Lee-Martin Seymour pairs the blacked-out link bracelet variant with a grey plaid blazer — a choice that reads as understated tech-exec rather than conspicuous gadgetry.
