This is Watch Your Style.
Today I'm gonna be doing a review for you on the new Hublot smartwatch that was made
for the World Cup.
So let's just face it, Hublot is one of those brands that they can't just pretty much do
something just because they want to or because it's like a whole new design.
They have to for some reason, if it's some sort of like dedication or a reason why they're
releasing that product.
I mean, it's always gotta be some type of a special edition or some type a cause.
They gotta tie it in to everything somehow, like I can't remember the last time that Hublot
released a watch that was just because, like this is our new flagship model.
Here it is, No!
They always gotta tie it in to some event or some person or something.
You know how it is.
Of course, they released this watch for the World Cup, blah, blah, blah and all this stuff.
I'm not really much of a smartwatch type of guy.
And then of course, Hublot being owned by the giant conglomerate that also owns TAG
Heuer, they went ahead and they pretty much released a TAG Heuer smartwatch with just
a fancy case.
They pretty much just dressed a smart watch with a different suit.
It's all they pretty much did.
Guys, you know how I feel about this brand.
I think they had something there at some point, but I think the over-saturation of the dedication
and the limited editions is probably what has ruined it as a whole.
Do I really care about the World Cup, yes.
Do I care about having a watch that gives me all those red cards and tells me everything
that's going on in the game, I mean I guess.
I feel like some people might've used it.
I don't know, man.
I just think they're running out of things to do and I think it would have just been
better to just done a pure smart watch in my opinion.
Yes, the watch works for the future, for even all the other games and all the other leagues,
but still I mean do you really need a watch, a smartwatch, that you put on your wrist,
tells you everything that's going on with the game that you're already watching in person
with your own eyes?
I mean, I get it.
They're just trying to come up with something interesting else to do.
So little details about the watch.
It's got the standard whole thing that you quick release the strap.
You know, whatever.
I think it's a little big.
It's a 49-millimeter.
That's the one thing that I'm not really crazy about.
Holds battery all day with an hour and a half charge, so I mean guess for a smartwatch that's
something that you want.
It has all the basic things that any one of these watches would have nowadays.
Just put a little bit of a fancy, titanium case and a corny, little logo on it.
I could understand smartwatches and personally if I was gonna have a smart watch, it would
probably be the Apple Watch, just because it's got so many things you could do and the
whole software is so easy.
This is a little bit choppy, not gonna lie.
As I go through the functions and all the different menus, it's a little choppy.
I feel like the only thing that a watch like this has is the whole vanity of the World
Cup and I can see when there's a red card or a yellow card and what not.
I mean, is it cool?
Yes.
Is it really necessary?
Not really.
Got a retail price of $5,200.
I mean, for that I just gotta pick up a Sub man.
I'd pick up a Submariner and an Apple Watch and call it a day.
As far as the value retention goes, just imagine, if nowadays you can pick up a Hublot Big Bang
that runs retail $15,000 and the resale is only $5,000, I could only imagine what this
with a retail of $5,200 is!
I don't care if it's limited edition to 2018 pieces.
Probably gonna be worth $200 in another two years from now, so my personal opinion is,
for this amount of money, I would rather pick up a Submariner and an Apple Watch and call
it a day.
So as far as the Watch Game goes with this watch, there is no game.
I mean, pretty much if you got this one, it just doesn't really score much.
You know what?
The only thing that makes this watch relevant, is the buzz that was created on social media
with all the pictures right before the World Cup.
You know, you pretty much just see a groupie screen with all the flags around.
Big deal!
That's pretty much all it is.
So there's really not much going on with this watch.
I for one, I'm just not really that impressed.
I think for this, I would rather buy the TAG.
