Yes, I know that the first appearance of this model dates back almost two years, but it is that far from falling into oblivion (as all its detractors expected), the i-gucci It has become the cornerstone of all the watch collections of the Italian firm.
This watch, whose main feature (in addition to reflecting 16 different time zones) is that of be able to display the time both digitally and analog (simulating hands on its liquid crystal screen) began its journey in two versions: one with a black rubber strap intended for ordinary production and one with a red strap, limited edition on the occasion of the Beijing Olympics. Both designs shared a Quartz movement enclosed in a 44-millimeter steel case, fitted with a virtually scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The range of options was quickly expanded, including a new range of colors for the belts, as well as the use of different materials such as PVD or rose gold plating for the manufacture of the cases, a sign that demand was increasing and the watch was being a success.
And in fact, it seems that it continues to be so, because Gucci has decided to expand this collection with a new design, mainly focused on the female public, reducing the case to 40 millimeters in diameter and including two new colors for the straps, pink and white. (You can consult all the models currently available on the Gucci website).
Anyway, yes, that is almost 1000 euros for a fashionable quartz watch, from a brand not specifically watchmaking, that there are an infinite number of options in this price segment ... So what? I have long since put aside prejudices and succumbed to temptation, what about you? Can you resist the i-gucci?
Enorabuena for your first post. Very interesting…
The truth is that I did not know the watch and it looks great. You have already generated another need for me ...
regards
Thank you very much Fernando, I am very excited about this new project, by the way, I do not want to seem annoying, but when you put it on your wrist you will surely hate me twice as much ...
A greeting.
Hi Carlos!
I also congratulate you on your first post. Very complete and interesting. It shows that you are an expert watchmaker.
See you around here, as always!
A hug!
Congratulations Carlos for being here, taking into account your watchmaking tastes, I believe that you will receive more than one comment both in favor and against, so I ask you to continue being who you are.
Regarding today's post, the gucci is very good, it is very attractive, and the quality of Gucci is very good despite being quartz and a non-watch brand, but the firm that manufactures the watches maintains excellent quality standards. The bad thing that for a recalcitrant classic like me I would not spend 100 euros on a quartz with a rubber strap, I would save for something else of more substance and that does not pass within 2 years of fashion, good for color tastes.
Greetings and encouragement
First of all, thank you very much for your support David, we appreciate the encouragement to maintain the enthusiasm with which we have started. On the other hand, as for my opinion, stay calm, I am one of those who die defending ideas :). I share your opinion that the price of the watch is out of the market, and that for a thousand euros you could do real wonders with brands such as Hamilton, Oris, Longines and even some Tag, what happens is that this is a full-blown whim, something different from what has been proposed so far in the so-called "fashion" watch sector.
A hug!
Hello,
This comment is directed to a consumer who has bought this watch, since I do not know where to go. I gave it to my husband 2 Christmases ago and the rubber strap shattered every year. As the warranty does not cover this type of damage, they alleged "misuse" of it. The worst thing is that he neither bathes with it nor takes it to the beach nor wears it during his working hours. The store that sold it to me reluctantly paid for half a new strap (it costs about 80-90 euros). One more year has passed, the same thing has happened again !!!!!
I don't know if this has happened to someone, but at the store they insist that it is not a failure of the watch. So whose is it? Are they sold of another material that suits this model?
Thank you!
