Watch Guides

At the WatchGecko store, we have a fantastic selection of watches for every budget. Whether you want to spend £1000 or under £300, every one of our watches represents unmatched quality, and we feel it brings something interesting to the price bracket and a specific genre. Our team meticulously researches brand partners, and we stock their watches because we are genuine fans of their work. 

£200-£300

Boldr Venture GMT Field Watch in Green - £299

Boldr Venture GMT

 

The Boldr Venture is a genuine tier-one field watch offering outstanding specifications for the price. Innovative design, titanium case, and generous luminescence plus a GMT function seal the deal on the Venture GMT. When you consider what you would pay for a base entry-level model with "a well-known" field watch brand, the Boldr is an outstanding package.

£300-£400

Geckota Chronotimer Racing Chronograph Watch Classic Reverse Panda - £399

Geckota Chronotimer

 

As we wait for the 2024 Formula One season to kick off, what better way to watch it than with a new racing chronograph on your wrist? The Geckota Chronotimer range pays homage to racing chronographs from a bygone era, and the classic panda bi-compax design on this watch will never date.

£400-£500

Elliot Brown Holton Professional NIVO in Black - £475

Elliot Brown Holton: Land Rover X Elliot Brown Classic Edition

One of the best tactical watches we reviewed in 2023, the Elliot Brown Holton range, brings both stealth and sophistication to the genre. The build quality of the Holton NIVO is second to none, hence why elite military units have selected it. This full black version would make a perfect operational watch if you genuinely need one or a fine outdoor model capable of defeating the elements.

£500-£600

Geckota Ocean-Scout Dive Watch Frost with Berwick Stainless Steel Strap - £599

Geckota Ocean-Scout Dive Watch - Frost

 

Geckota's new Ocean-Scout range represents an evolution for the brand, and the Frost and Ice models, which were special editions released for the winter of 2023, are perhaps the most stunning models. In every way, these are contemporary dive and outdoor watches. However, this stunning dial elevates the model to a new level of aesthetic interest.

£600-£700

NTH DevilRay GMT (WatchGecko Exclusive) - £625

NTH DevilRay GMT

 

WatchGecko has enjoyed many collaborations with NTH, and possibly the most dynamic is the Devil Ray GMT. This watch channels 1970s dive watches with its period-accurate cushion case and dual-function bezel. You can measure elapsed time or an alternate time zone. Despite the striking package, let's remember this is a professional dive watch capable of resisting water pressure down to 500 meters.

£700-£800

FORMEX Field Automatic - Ultra Violet - Blue Nylon Strap

Formex is synonymous with innovative designs, so it was no surprise when they set out to make a field watch that would not look like any other field watch. There is a strong argument that this model is the perfect modern evolution of field watches, which have remained mainly unaltered since World War 2. Made of titanium with one of the most innovative straps we've seen, the Formex Field could be the perfect contemporary field watch. A standard by which all others, one day, could be judged.

£800-£900

Taking inspiration from unique cars which race for 24 hours at Le Mans or the powerful machines from the Indy 500, the Forza Mechanical King Drive range set out from the onset to be the quintessential racing chronograph. Various coloured dials are available, each paying homage to motorsport from a bygone era. Our favourite is gold, and if you can remember Formula One from a particular era, you'll know exactly where we're coming from!

£900-£1000

Squale 1521 Swiss Made Divers Watch - £1000

Squale 1521 Swiss Made Divers Watch

Arguably the most underrated dive watch of all time Squale's reputation and historical contribution to dive equipment cannot be underestimated. These watches are beautifully constructed and have primarily remained unaltered since the 1950s, which gives them a true sense of style and longevity. The new Green Ray dial is another unique colour from a brand synonymous with such bold designs.

Sub-£200 

And, of course, if you want to spend under £200, we have a superb selection of straps, transit cases, tools and buckles, all of which can enhance your existing watch collection.
