In this article, we discuss the growing problem of scam websites using our brand name and images.
Scam Websites Are Using WatchGecko Brand And Product Images
We have recently become aware of several fraudulent websites that are using WatchGecko product images and branding without permission, including images of our straps, to mislead customers. The images shown here are of scam websites using our brand name and product images.
We have seen this type of activity previously, and we wrote another article about it in 2020, which you can read here. These websites are not affiliated with WatchGecko in any way.
In many cases, they advertise heavily discounted prices, copied product descriptions, and claim to sell our products directly—when in reality, customers may receive poor-quality imitation items, incorrect products, or nothing at all.
How to Buy Genuine WatchGecko Products
To ensure you are purchasing authentic WatchGecko products:
Buy directly from our official website: watchgecko.com.
Purchase only from authorised retailers listed on our site.
Be cautious of websites offering prices that seem too good to be true.
If a website is using our images, logo, or product descriptions but is not clearly WatchGecko or an authorised partner, we recommend avoiding it.
What We’re Doing About This Problem
We take brand misuse and customer safety seriously, and our team is actively:
- Reporting fraudulent websites.
- Issuing takedown requests for stolen imagery.
- Working to protect our customers and our intellectual property
