Accessory Review – Geckota Milanese Mesh Watch Strap

Posted on January 6, 2026 by Richie

While watch collecting can be a lot of fun and a great hobby for the well-adjusted adult, it can also be a horrible addiction that sucks up money like you’ve discovered butterscotch-flavoured cocaine.  And I don’t know about you, but I’ve blocked every news/humour/sport/media/miscellaneous bit of content on social media so all I see is…

Had a nice morning in the lovely market town of Lymm. Went to say hi to the ducks.

Wearing the stunning @mcquaide_watches C1.

#watchesofinstagram #watches #microbrandwatches #watchfam #ukwatches

We reviewed the prototype.  Now we're reviewing the full production model. 

The McQuaide C1.  I've not shut up about it since April but there's a reason, the watch is as good as it gets in the mid-range microbrand market. 

That's a spoiler but, hey, read the review.  Ta!

Since getting into this hobby and writing about watches, I've been really drawn to the #ukwatches scene.  The characters, the stories, the designs. 

@mezeiwatchcompany London Smoke.  The coolest.  A dress watch with unique vibes. 

@golbywatches Coastal.  The size, the colour, the multiple details that you won't notice first time around.  I love it.

@mcquaide_watches C1 Solstice.  Pound for pound the best watch around.  Look at that case and drool.

@kompaswatch South.  A watch that takes inspiration from the past and tells a unique story of British ingenuity.

@luthier_watch_co LP Series.  A watch that speaks to my love of guitars, from the country that produced my favourite players (Robert Smith of The Cure, Geordie Walker of Killing Joke).

@monterawatches Estria.  The one watch that makes everyone ask "hey, what's that green one?"

Add to that BVOR, Paulin, Area Nostalgia, Escudo and other great brands and we've got a scene going that can't be denied.

Music from @sansfroid.band who've also put out the album of the year.  Those chords.... Argh.  Makes your soul ache.

I'm wearing all black because being in the office sucks, but bright pink for the watch because IT IS FRIDAY, BABY. 

The sensational-looking Pink Panther by @seikowatchuk.  I can't be arsed looking up the reference, I'm parked outside the Co-op about to get an apple pastry.

I don't much like taking my 'real' watches to the gym but the @golbywatches Aquareef is sporty enough and super comfortable.

I can't see past the @mcquaide_watches C1 as the best watch of the year.  The quality, the look, the spec, the proportions.  Pretty much flawless and the price is bang on. 

Updated review coming soon.
