Light blue chronograph is my favorite.
Some really cool designs. I love the bracelet on that Gridster. I like that they cared enough to put some thought and effort into the bracelets and not just the cases and dials like a lot of other companies would have done. Also cool to see that the name doesn't evoke lizards.......not to speak ill of your brethren [mention]nicegator[/mention] . Thanks for posting!

I really like all colors of the 3-handers. Matching date wheels! And the green, white, and black models' date text is actually colored to match the other highlights of the watch:

I like the logo, too.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I love these watch gecko releases. I've wanted to buy a few of their other branded watches but could stomach that horrible name on the dial.

It does sound like WatchGecko is listening, since they've launched a more "traditional" sounding brand with Forzo after so many people have complained about the Geckota name.
And they also have started a Facebook group so enthusiasts can continue the conversation with them regarding Forzo.

FORZO is a new project that aims to touch the hearts of classic automotive and racing fans all over the world, through our carefully
designed watches that take inspiration from the best of the past.
We would love for you to get involved in the discussion & give us some feedback by joining our Forzo Watches Community page.

Well, *that’s* interesting. I think I like it, but it’s weird to see it without the chrono subdials. I will say, I sold the chrono because the ~$800 premium for a 7750 in a Hamilton wasn’t worth it for me, so if this settles in at $600-$700 I may consider.

FWIW, re the white/cream, the lume, center hand, and text were also white on the chrono, at least, so the date wheel wasn’t alone. But understandably, white with cream of any amount isn’t everyone’s aesthetic.

I'm actually with you. If this falls to the $600 range I'll for sure consider it. I think it looks great. I just think with a cream date wheel it would have been the perfect detail.

Wouldn’t it be in that range with MOT discount at REJ?

I know I should like it.
But the Big Tex on the dial kind of takes the air out of the balloon for me.
