1) Pull out the crown to the second click position.
2) Turn the crown to set hour and minute hands. (Check that AM / PM is set correctly)
3) Push the crown back into the normal position.
2.How to set the Date & Time difference
1) Pull out the crown to the first click position.
2) Turn the crown to left for date setting.
3) Push the crown back into the normal position.

Specifications
Let customers speak for us
just received my midnight blue and am pleasantly impressed of the quality of this watch, I am trying to convince my son to procure one before they are all sold out which i believe will be very quickly
the only downside is the strap could be slightly longer but other than that its great, might end up treating myself to another one
This is my first watch from Detrash. I love it. It feels well made and is solid. I love the colours and it's nice to own a watch which is made from ocean plastic
I have been waiting to get my hands on this watch and it has not disappointed. Design is great, the movement works very well and makes for a great style statement.
It’s a limited edition watch with only about 100 pieces being made so was expecting my release number to be under 100 so that was a bit of a bummer but it’s a very minor thing.
Only another 26 left so would recommend grab it while it lasts!
I've had my Gotham Vigilante for a couple of months now and have been biding my time for a review. Decided to write this review whilst on holiday. The 100m water resistance makes this a great travel piece. In and out of the sea, pool, sand covered, you name it, this watch passes the test.
What struck me on unboxing, was how clear the contrast was from the yellow hands to the black dial. It's quite striking, and the clarity of the time viewing is great. You keep wanting to look at it. It works in all conditions.
I was keen of DETRASH after coming across them on YouTube and then sold on them as a brand, due to their values and what they want to achieve.
The team have created a really nice product.
If you're into your watches or looking for a first buy, you'll be happy when your DETRASH watch arrives.
Superb! I got my Likemania before a trip to India when looking for a sturdy and affordable watch. Could not recommend it enough! Sadly the movement inside (not Detrash's 'property') had a fault, but Guy was quick to honour the warranty and kept me aware of how the repair was getting on. Just got it back yesterday couldn't be happier! A fantastic brand, doing the right thing for both the planet, and their customers, and I do genuinely wish them all the best. Just wish I could justify getting the 'Blue Steel' so shortly after getting this back. I'll definitely watch on from the sidelines with intrigue and will certainly be back!
I bought this watch with countless recommendations and was blown away by the quality and value for money. Having the constant reminder of the positive impacts of the planet is an incredible bonus on the British made awesome watch. I will be recommending this to all watch enthusiasts I encounter.
Say Detrash watches on an on line article and I questioned the quality given the low price point! I couldn’t be more wrong. Great day to day watch. Looks good on. Nice size on the wrist and I’ve got many compliments from watch guys at work about it.
Thanks so much for the Player One. I love it and my daughter has already tried to steal it off me! I am proud to be your first Thailand customer. The Rolex will have to stay in the draw for now! Also Thanks Dan for getting it out so quickly to me, much appreciated. Can highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun watch thats different!
I recently bought a Detrash watch, attracted initially by the fact that all/a percentage of the proceeds go to 'Surfers against sewage' (being an ex-surfer), but also by the innovative idea of producing a small number of high quality, uniquely designed watches from trash! I do not regret it, and what you get is a watch designed and made with the future of our planet in mind as it's made almost 100% from recycled trash (bar the great Seiko automatic movement), is a one-off in design terms, and feels and looks great on your wrist! It's the way forward for those of you looking for somethinng different, so go on, get one bought!
Love the concept of this watch company - turning scrap into something functional and beautiful - so I bought the Likemania.
Have to say, I love it. Just the right side of chunky and 'industrial' without being too big. It's refined with some lovely detailing. I can't fault it.
Simple, elegant and understated, but with enough heft and weight to catch the eye.
I'll be buying more Detrash watches in future.
Good looking, very well made, solid weight. If you’re after a new divers watch around the sub £1,000 price point then I would definitely give Detrash a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Detrash Cali Blue, my new favourite watch. From the moment that i discovered the brand I fell in love with the mission of the company and of the watch. I was skepitical of the quality of the watch when i first saw it thinking that for the price and quality it was too good to be true, but, upon receiving the watch my expectations were absolutely blown away. A great watch with a comfortable strap and constantly reminding and inspiring me of the future of the planet. I will be recommending this watch to every watch lover i come across. 10/10
Love it 😊 colours pop and it’s a great discussion piece with people. Quality is solid. I’d like to see a black steel strap option (eco friendly obs) and maybe vegan leather one too. I got third party black and yellow stitching vegan leather and it just pops even more. Each time I look at it just smile 😊
The build quality of this watch is outstanding, this is apparent very quickly to you when handling it out of the box. The design is so unique too, it's a fun wear and I don't see it coming off of my wrist anytime soon.
Love my Detrash Likemania. It's a really solid build without being too bulky. Fits great on my wrist, which isn't the biggest but the watch sits really nicely on it (I think due to the angled lugs which are cool)
Love all the little details, the brushing on the case, the ceramic bezel, the knurling on the bezel. I wasn't sure about the fabric strap before I ordered it but it's super comfortable.
All round it's just a really nice every day watch that you can wear in the office our out and about, all while knowing you've done some good buying a watch made from recycled materials
I should also point out that I contacted Detrash with some queries prior to ordering and Guy the owner was super responsive and helpful

Founder's note
"Detrash is a passion project. I love watches, but find most of them boring, and the ones that are even vaguely fun can be eye wateringly expensive (£200k - over £1m for a Richard Mille with a smiley face!). In 2023 I sold my first business and this gave me some time to look at watches properly. The main thing that amazed me was that unlike FMCG (my last business) very few companies are even trying to do anything ethical. It feels like every other industry is switching to have more of a purpose and do some good in the world, and the watch world isn't even trying. This is a massive shame, but together we can fix this" Guy Blaskey

i like the watch , it is very cool and stylish , my only comment relates to the strap, i feel this drags down the premium feel of the watch face and it looks . my strap is already slightly fraying at the every end , the yellow strips of cotton look like elastic bands a little . other than that i am really pleased

Great item! Colors are bright and vibrant, and shipping was pretty quick. The watch size is good too, and it's not very heavy on the wrist. I got this as a gift, and I think it will work out perfectly. Thanks a bunch
