English viewer here, Watch Gecko are my go to..Good prices, fast delivery, good customer service and excellent quality. Recommended. Good fair review, cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, I'm interested to try out some of their higher end stuff to see how it compares. I really like their selection, a lot of great looking straps on their site.
A couple of years ago I was looking at that same Bond Nato by Gekota and it was going for nearly $50 US on it's own. So I would say you got a real nice deal there. I have at least 2 straps / bracelets for each of my watches with just one exception and I find it a great way to add a lot of variety to my collection.
Good deal Dave👍🏼😎 Most swaps worked& I agree the orange(?) didn’t quite work. Wasn’t really taken with the NATO with your blue dial either. It does show you how a watch can be revamped with a simple watch band/bracelet change. My fav was the Citizen Nighthawk👍🏼🤪
Idk man I think that orange leather strap looks nice. I like that you didn’t get any of those faux alligator ones. I wasn’t a big fan of the nato though but that’s just my opinion. Wear what you like with pride.
That black leather strap on the Citizen looks really sharp. I like the look of Nato straps, but since I tend to also like tool and sport watches, they tend to make them sit up too high. There are some field watches I like that I'd definitely put one on, but then they are specifically designed for that style strap.
I've bought a bunch of straps from Watch Gecko over the past year (it's a bit embarrassing actually just how many), and they've pretty much all been really good quality, no regrets there.
Nice watch & strap choices! Thanks for the strap overview! Looks like you have the same problem I did with the last spinnaker you tried on in that the strap rubs against the case, eventually ruining the strap. I had to get curved lug pins to resolve that issue. Something Spinnaker was no help with and a short while later gave up their brand mostly due to bad customer experience.
Have a different version of the NightHawk, it's on a black melenese bracelet fits well, but leather would be nice, I did buy the silicon strap for it, but like it the way it is. Right now wearing my new as it came yesterday Oris Aquis, got it on rubber, and bought new grey market. Quite a bit of savings. Even looking at used the price wasn't different. And saving over $600 (thats with a discount) from an AD is fine by me.
They have transformed the look of each watch in a good way.i agree Orient looked better before but for 50 bucks worth of straps that's good overall value.
Hello Dave, Just found your channel.. gotta say i'm loving the content . I too am a collector of Affordable watches. i absolutely refuse to spend over £500 on a watch.. there is such a great choice of watches out there. good looking, reliable , accurate and well built.. Loving the straps from Watch Gecko.. you got a great deal there.. They also do Watches under their Geckota name.. i have a couple and they are really fine watches.. some are a little different . but great quality.. keep up the good work mate.
My local target throws out apple watch bands and sends them to goodwill. I got a real nice top grain leather one for $3 at goodwill new. All I had to do was remove the apple watch adapter.
Yeah I want to give that a shot. It's kind of similar to the stock strap, which is actually really nice, so that's why I didn't put it on for the video.
@@JusttheWatch thank you for your response watch gecko seem a very interesting company with a lot of potential with a real understanding of the community.

Nicely done and some really great editing. I've liked everything I've got from Watch Gecko. I really like how that looked with the Brycen.
Thanks! Trying to make the best of my tiny desk space.
Really changed the Dumas , much improved , in fact both the spinnakers were much better I thought.
Those are some really nice straps/bracelets!
Great video!

Watch gecko straps are the best in the market IMHO (for the price). Great video brother!

That Nighthawk with the black strap looks amazing
Agreed. Very sleek

The Dumas with the first bracelet is really good! the black leather is nice as well.

I Love the Bond Nato! Bought it for my Hamilton Khaki Field, can't wait to receive it.

Vintage bond strap would of suited the blancpain homage watch (spinnaker).
Missed a trick there.

Nighthawk looks sweet!!
This is my favorite thumbnail brother. Love it!
Thanks for taking the time to pair up each strap on a watch. Good choices :)
Nice straps. Ironically I ordered some straps from Watch Gecko (one was a Bond nato similar to yours) and have been quite pleased. Kampai
Yeah, I'm going to have to try ordering some of their newer stuff as well to see how it compares. Seem like some decent quality products!
The Citizen looks great on that metal bracelet 😃
I liked the rubber strap on the Spinnaker, looks factory issued.
They offered a very similar one on one version of the Hull not too long ago.
Really like the Spinnaker with that bracelet.

That orange-ish strap work with the Jack Mason imo
Yeah I want to give that a shot. It's kind of similar to the stock strap, which is actually really nice, so that's why I didn't put it on for the video.
Great idea for a video. Really enjoyed it
Happy New Year! Seems like a good value.
Nice video thanks!
I literately just bought a Bargain Pack of 10 - 20mm assorted watch straps from WatchGecko's eBay store , i'm excited to see what i get :)
That's cool didn't realize they did that!
Very nice! And all the best to you in 2020!
Is this a paid review?
I wish. No purchased this myself, I haven't had any contact with Watch Gecko about the video.
Also to be clear I was sort of joking. I never do paid reviews. Often I get to keep the review watch but I always mention that if that's the case.
