Geckota watches

Post by CW257 »

Obviously a good place to purchase straps and accessories, but does anyone have any first hand experiences of the watches made by Geckota?

They have some quite different looking mecha-quartz pieces at reasonable prices.

Hi.

I just sold one on this forum.
I thought it was a cracking watch for the price, and a nice pakage (Box, spare Bezels, additional nato strap)
Just a bit big for me, but overall nice watch.

Regards Steve

As per Steves post above, nice design, OK quality for the price, robust movement, good package and if can be had in their sale even better. Had a racing style chrono (partly after Steves positive feedback) but sold on as wasnt getting the wrist time - I have other genuinely retro chronos in the collection.

I've had a couple of their early days watches that were decent enough for the price c. £100 some years ago.

However, in the last 2 - 3 years they have stepped up several gears to another level, with watches that look pretty good.

I am not though a fan of the font they have been using for their logo, so have not bought anything.

Nevertheless, they have been posting on Instagram recently about their forthcoming Workshop range, which look even better and with a font I could get along with.

Interesting times ahead.
