Materials
Materials
We are constantly striving to improve the materials that we work with.
The first edition watches have:
- Cases made from 80% recycled steel (equivalent to 316L surgical grade stainless steel)
- Straps made from #tide recycled ocean plastic
- Pouch made with offcuts from clothes manufacture.
- Recycled card boxes.
You won't get a big, flashy watch box like you would with some big brands. These just take up space, which means extra transport, which means extra emissions, and they just aren't necessary.

From GQ's "Best British Watch Brands"
"Making trash desirable. Yes, this British microbrand really means it with eco-friendly materials, minimal packaging made of recycled (and recyclable) cardboard, and a commitment from founder Guy Blaskey to give 1% of the brand’s annual revenue to planetary causes. The Gotham’s Vigilante model [like all models] is made of 80% recycled steel on an ocean-plastic strap, a fitting tribute to the superhero."
Let customers speak for us
I’m blown away by how good this watch is for such a low price. It feels fantastic to wear and looks great. Really happy with this watch, so thank you to Guy at Detrash, loving your work and the ethos of your company.
Loved the company ethos when I came across this, watch was delivered quickly, and the customer service has been fantastic. The watch itself is great, very happy with my choice and I can’t recommend a Detrash watch highly enough
Blown away by the quality of this watch. I was drawn to Detrash by their ethos and messaging, Have fun do good. The Player One encapsulated this perfectly and its attractive and colourful design has already started plenty of conversations. The Player One is so comfortable on the wrist that a watch I bought for an occasional wear has become my go to day to day wear. Would definitely recommend adding a Detrash to your collection!
Absolutely chuffed with this watch. The weight, feel and look are all spot on. The design is a healthy dose of tried and tested, mixed with a more modern colour palette and aesthetic. For this price, in my opinion, you can't go wrong. If you're on the fence about this watch, don't be. It's worth every penny.
Very happy with my watch, lovely quality and impressed with the concept of recycled sea waste. I really hope the company goes from strength to strength and increases the ratio of its recycled elements of its products. Keep up the good work.
Really excellent quality! The weight is fantastic, and there is a real quality feel. The attention to detail and build quality is very very good and in some aspects beats watches that I own that retail at a far greater price. There is a real premium feel to the whole watch. The additional factors of being sourced from reused materials and being limited to a certain number of pieces just makes it even better.
A job well done!
Likemania 075
Great watch , fantastic quality and a real lovely thing.
Thank you
I love it! Nice weight to the watch yet very comfortable on the wrist! The face design is brilliant! It really pops! Feels nice and sturdy, very well made, and gives me a smug feeling knowing it's primarily made from recycled materials! Very happy to finally own one!
Very pleased with my Poison Ivy - great quality, size just right - looks fantastic. Will be keeping my eye out for the Midnight Sky release as well - highly recommended!
Watches can range from a pennies to fortunes, sometimes because of assumed value, other times due to the workmanship. I feel my detrash watch is good value for money, has a nice design and feel, especially considering the price. I will probably look to add another piece at some point.
Love the Detrash brand and styling. Really well made watch that’s good for the planet.
Awesome packaging and delivery too. Definitely recommend
I love my new Likemania.
Solid and well built watch that look good
I can't tell you how much I talked about this watch and the concept, before, after release, and in the build up for delivery... My family and friends were a little bored, however once I've shoved it in their face both with original (what I'm going to call winter) strap and aftermarket yellow 'summer' strap which was super easy to change obvs, they get it.
Pure quality, absolutely stunning, a credit to Detrash for the sustainable concept that makes it all the more special as well as being limited and numbered... I haven't stopped looking and taking photos.
Add to that epic communication and care, can't rate enough....
IF I CAN BE SO BOLD... Next... Bigger diameter, and a player TWO that's a little more subtle to meet my tastes, demanding enough??!! HAHAHA.. I'll be back for more.
I’ve been after a Player One for months and, boy, was it worth the wait!
I am incredibly impressed. I love it! It feels incredible, it LOOKS amazing, and if it was just a regular watch I’d have been blown away already by the finish-at-this-budget factor but when you add in the ethos, I’m lost for words.
It’s my latest watch, and it’s one of the most important ones I have. When the big brands are knocking out cheap (yet damned expensive) plastic, quartz models that are “fun”, all they are doing is lining their pockets with cash and filling the oceans with plastic.
Guy at Detrash does things differently, and should be championed.
The only way you’ll see me with a Moonswatch or Kith F1 on my wrist is if it’s pulled out the ocean and made into a Detrash watch strap.
From the opening of the Eco packaging, I love the Detrash box outer cover. Then the actual box itself is very stylish and the pouch my watch was in looks very unique. Not disappointed in the watch and I love how it feels in both fit and weight. Looking forward to seeing how it stands the strains of time!

Love the watch. Great style. My night vision can't be as good as Batman, or Gotham is well lit so he can see the time at night.
