We fit one strap to a ton of different watches - You're welcome...

Are you looking for a quality padded leather watch strap but just not sure how it will look on your watch? You’ve discovered our Highley Leather range, but you’d like to see a few more images and shots of the strap before deciding if it's the one for you.

We understand! Buying online can be tricky sometimes, seeing as much inspiration as possible can really help with the decision making process. Let’s find out if the Highley leather is for you.

Why would you order the Highley leather?

The Highley leather strap is a staple of the WatchGecko site and is our stand out padded leather strap offering. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this Italian full-grain leather watch strap.

Here is why we love it:

  • The padding, although thick at 6.5mm at its peak, is ludicrously soft and will surprisingly mould to your wrist in a short amount of time
  • The strap generously tapers by 4mm down to the buckle
  • It's available in a selection of colours and leathers that all offer something unique making this range surprisingly versatile. You’ll find that the Highley will suit a lot of watches thanks to its classic design.
