About WatchGecko

WatchGecko was started as a hobby by the founder, Jon Quinn, who bought and sold watches on eBay while also working as a software engineer. In 2010, he turned the hobby into a full-time job. Initially, the majority of sales were through eBay and products were sourced through wholesalers in the UK.

The company soon shifted to sourcing products directly from manufacturers in order to be more consistent and offer higher-quality products at a more reasonable price.

WatchGecko expanded and eventually launched its own website, moved into a dedicated office space, and hired employees. Eventually, they decided to move away from internet marketplaces and sell directly through websites, and also created new brands and partnerships.

Today WatchGecko has five transactional websites, and is focused on content creation and new product launches.
