Watch Strap Buying Guide

In the world of replacement watch straps, the military nylon watch strap stands out as a traditional, versatile, and durable strap, and I can almost guarantee that every enthusiast has at least one in their collection.


Back in 2022, we launched the WatchGecko Ridge British Military Watch Strapa modern take on the classic military design with brand new ridge nylon material. As time has gone by, we’ve added more colour options than even the most seasoned enthusiast could ever need. From the mustard yellow version that took social media by storm, to the newer Bond-inspired additions, it’s easy to see why the popularity of these nylon watch straps only ever seems to grow and why the Ridge continues to be one of our best-selling watch strap collections.

Using high quality nylon in military straps is of the upmost importance for both comfort and the ensured security of your timepiece. The nylon used in the WatchGecko Ridge Military Watch Strap is similar to old-fashioned military webbing, meaning it not only adds definition and style, but thanks to its 1.2mm thickness you can be sure you won’t experience the fraying or stretching associated with thinner, lower quality nylon. The Ridge is not only ultra-tough but waterproof too, so no matter the activity or adventure, your watch remains secure.

The hardware of this strap range doesn’t fall short either as the buckle, floating and fixed keepers are all made with durable stainless steel, presented with a brushed finished and proudly stamped with the WatchGecko logo as a mark of authenticity. The floating keepers allow for excess material to be fed through, so you can easily adjust for any excess nylon you may have when fitting the strap, this ensures a seamless and uniform finish to compliment your watch every day.

We’ve expanded the Ridge range multiple times now to meet customer demands, so as the Ridge has grown in popularity, the choice in colours available has too. We recently added striped options as well as variations inspired by the infamous Bond style, bringing the total offering to an incredible 22 colour ways. So, whether you are making a statement, or simply want to compliment your dial colour, there is guaranteed to be a Ridge Nylon Watch Strap to suit you.
