Rolex vs. Apple Watch: What Your Watch Says About You!

[@thor_86]

More of this, more watches. Just do a sitdown for 3 hours doing a ton of watches, upload on sunday.

[@miguelransanz]

hahahaha FACTS

[@miguelransanz]

we need the heavy hitters, we need day dates, aquanauts, santos, rm, bvlgari, etc

[@Kemilc]

Agree @thor_86

[@oliverjames6913]

Not gonna lie, feeling super good about my 90s Reverso right now.

[@airborneranger-ret]

lol

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

The nursing joke had me cracking up, I had an internship in the ER. I always wore my gshock and every nurse had an Apple Watch. Funny that the EMTs who visit would always have gshock though. Great video as always

[@NKKK85]

This is insanely good! ❤❤ Ferrari Cali and nursing references were so hilarious! 😂 Definitely need a part 2 (add in a 3 and 4 for good measure).

[@airborneranger-ret]

lol

[@stevetartakovsky7894]

The Ferrari California take is hilarious and rightfully true I think

[@airborneranger-ret]

lol

Loved these ‘hot takes’ on what your watch tells about you… quite on point and very entertaining… I laughed out loud a couple different times…

[@NYMetMike]

Hamilton Khaki = budding watch enthusiast. Spot on! It's not the first watch I've ever had technically, but it was my first purchase once I decided I wanted to start the journey of collecting. Great quality and price point to get hands on with a time piece for the first time and really start wearing something and understanding what you like and don't like. I'm in the very early stages of the journey but am enjoying it very much. Have added several pieces since.

[@jdtoronto11]

Christian - please actually do this 10 more times. It was splendid, top to bottom.

[@benjamindinunzio8687]

This was one of your best videos in a while. Not tired, you were in it and on fire and I dug every take.

[@friskjidjidoglu7415]

14:41 That’s not turquoise. That’s more like a regular light blue or sky blue

[@samon_kurowassan]

This is the *BEST* “what your watch says about you” because it’s very perceptive and detailed ❤❤❤

[@D_free8]

Yes please do more of this. Very on point. The hodinkee comment was gold.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Tell it how you see it, unfiltered. Love it. And very amusing too. “If you wear an Apple Watch, you’re just not my kind of person, you have no taste…..unless you’re my sister…:or you have an Apple Watch Ultra and are in the military, or as part of a collection that you only wear specifically to the gymn” But…. “Wear a precious metal Reverso, I’ll buy you a brandy” Priceless

[@Arc1517]

“While stocks and real estate were at historic lows” S&P did 26.28% last year lol

[@thegeebees5695]

I love watches, but I've known way too many dbags wearing great watches. Your personality tells infinitely more about you than what's on your wrist.

[@Karen-0]

This was fun! More please 😂

[@JH-sk6bb]

Honestly, best video you’ve done in a while.

[@denisspratt926]

Almost any modern Rolex can say multiple things. Cause I know a few people with different modern Rolexes. Some are not interested in watches at all but likes the image they get from it. And some are really into watches. This also goes with Royal Oak, Aquanaut and Nautilus in my experience.

[@mazrashid6549]

Really enjoyed this episode and would love to see more

[@brianpalay2]

7:00 always with the slickest transitions into the Masterworks ads. Well done.

[@rgv_edc8675]

Keep this going! With the same variety of brands like in this video. Want to hear on the ones I’ve got on my radar.

[@pvallely1]

Christian, I love the honesty. Cracks my shit up cause we have a similar way we talk about things we are passionate about. Apple Watch- "We dont have cars in common, or most certainly dont have clothes in common...When was the last time you had Cassoulet?" Amazing.

[@seanluca]

Am I the only one that doesn’t get the Apple Watch hate?

[@joergbrathauer2302]

no you are not :) i have a few watches and on a rare occasion someone will recognise them or say something at all. my apple watch ultra on the other hand started many conversations.

[@cardinalj]

I kind of understand the hate and not from a watch guy perspective more from a human being perspective. But to each their own

[@gavinwhite9743]

Got one, and it became an annoying tap getting me to look at my phone more often. As a lightweight music device I enjoyed it, but not enough to wear it daily. It's also universal, so doesn't say anything good or bad about you as a watch enthusiast. It's also designed to be replaced every few years. Annoying I have to do that with my phone, but then my watch too? That's when I decided to tap out. I also found the interface a little fiddly, and often the watch apps left me wanting more than they could deliver. It's ok, but hard to be excited by.

[@mfmf100]

It’s just that it’s not really a watch. It’s the smallest size Apple black rectangle.

[@Kane3625]

Haha great video. I definitely see the pros of wearing an Apple Watch when I work in the hospital wearing gloves and can’t touch my phone or when I am working out or playing tennis. Otherwise, I enjoy my real watches 😁

[@brianperticari]

Love T&H. Solid stuff

[@LeadershipAdventure]

Hey guys, how do you think the "Bluesy" 16613 fits into this list? The two tone. I have a chance to get one at my local jeweler that has had all the folded links replaced with the solid gold links from the Yachtmaster.

[@jsli]

5-digit sub would be leaning towards his classification of “vintage gold Rolex”, so you’re safe. 😉

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

When you care about what others see in your watch selection, you are a boy on the way up. If you have succeeded and are a mature adult, you don’t care. You are one or the other.

[@AfriqueNY]

Soo not true. Subconsciously we all tell a story with every watch we wear.

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

@@AfriqueNY my comment is not about the story you tell but not caring. My point is true and proven through time.

[@AfriqueNY]

@@MikeSmith-er1qs my point was that it's more complex than that. Collectors like to show off their collection therefore they care what others think. I wouldn't call Teddy Baldassare or Kevin OLeary "boys". Those are grown men and mature adults. They very much DO care about what people think of their collections

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

@@AfriqueNY caring about your collection and caring what others think of you are two different things. I know O-Leary does NOT care about what anyone thinks. I have yet to actually see Teddy express any care about what others think of him. I stand by my statement, boys vice men.

[@masonmarcobello3164]

Instead of dismissing the Tiffany OP as a douchebag hype watch you should read up on the subtle callback/nod that it has to the vintage Stella DD dials. Variations on an historical theme really work as the modernization of the new pieces, which I’d call subtle but which some Rolex purists see as radical, gives an appeal that I think a literal re-edition of the original Stella pieces would have lacked. As a “vintage watch” dealer you should know this less you be called an actual douche for judging others on their watch choices (hype or no hype).

[@TausifHussain]

No omega speedy!???

[@benjaminjameskreger]

I love the idea of having someone compliment your reverso and, as a shy gesture, turning it around. Just as a bit I'd love to do that one day.

[@absolutelynobody7294]

My Apple Watch serves a specific purpose. I ride motorcycles. Often times in remote areas. If I crash and am unconscious my Apple Watch can notify emergency services without any input from me.

[@Peezy71421]

I have an Apple Watch Ultra with a titanium band. I also collect Gucci 1953 Horsebit Loafers. This is what both say about me…that i wear what the fuck I want and don’t worry about what snooty fucks think.

[@surf1589]

Cool story bro

[@bradball]

Terrific and entertaining. Do a video like this… speak about Watch Brands… what they say about you and what car you probably drive.

[@TheRacerRich]

I had Kevin O'Leary, but he described what the Apple watch says about you best: it says you're 20% off retail.

[@Akj6zmdteuxze]

Honestly such comments also say a lot of you - outdated . Being honest , u probably the minority now who have not tried before . Many who have tried are struggling to take it off

[@AfriqueNY]

​@@Akj6zmdteuxzein a world of tech everywhere why would you want your wrist chiming? Everything we do tells a story. Owning the same watch everyone on earth owns says "I wanna be average ". Nothing wrong with that. But you are not stylish at all.

[@Newerasamearea]

Apples watch is a different class of product to other watches. It's a tool. Where as others are luxury accessories. It's like comparing a tie pin to a cufflink. Incomparable. Also there's no denying apples iconic watch design. I'd buy mosers swiss alp in a heart beat if i could afford it.

[@Akj6zmdteuxze]

@@AfriqueNY rolex is not above average . It’s actually for average people who can’t afford many more expensive things in life to aspire to buy. I feel ppl couldn’t see this point or too egoistic to see. I am guessing u own rolex before too , so do I . The tech behind it as you know is too dated. They are not even metas certified in 2023 , it’s a joke for someone who wants to wear it and to feel above average about it. I love my date date 40 8 years ago , hulk 7 years ago , panda Daytona 5 years ago, my Pepsi 3 years ago , but when I look at them or the current design, they are really dated and boring . But of coz if u r an average person who has not gotten it , u will still want to own them since it’s been on ur mind for the longest time, your view may be different. I am just speaking from the owner perspective . And when u have them all, u really find that an Apple Watch pro is superior in every ways, except maybe when u wear a watch purpose purely for “aesthetic” . Then again, u wouldn’t need to buy so many watches then, the datejust 41 is properly the most beautiful , icon basic watch, again its average for average people so I don’t buy it back then

[@eggpancapital2807]

you know that's what they said about Rolexes 40 years ago right?

[@fitforfreelance]

WOW this guy can talk! I don't agree some of these things, but the flow commands respect!

[@airborneranger-ret]

2:00 - I have a vintage yellow gold Rolex :)

[@VMIyanks04]

Do this again!! Love this!! Spot on! You nailed me on the Hamilton KFM except I’m also in the military. Lol. What about my Speedy! What does that say about me? I think it’s on par with the Sub for famous watches but I think it says you’re more nerdy about it! Hahaha

[@abhandarkar]

Smooth transition from a JLC reverso to a paid commercial! Real smooth!

[@fachzentrumkfo]

At the beginning you were to talk about the white gold sub but then you continued talking about vintage Rolexes. So what is the white gold sub saying about its owner? Greetings

[@oscarlopez-gc1pv]

Hello Christian I love your videos I have become a watch enthusiast recently since I bought a Rolex Datejust 41 in 2020 and another one last year. I love your video but I don’t think any Rolex model makes anyone look douchy Apple Watches yeah I don’t like them I don’t own one if I did I would probably just use it for the gym or for jogging JLC 100% agree with you I think you sold me buying a JLC maybe I will buy it from your shop in the future. Thanks for the video again I loved it I also think you sold me on investing in art in the future Thanks!!!

[@aninde30]

Please do more of this!

[@JaydonTobler]

For Part 2: Would love to hear this prompt for the Aqua Terra, Explorer 2, and any Nomos.

[@AadiJain-kg7ow]

I think if you are someone who considers watches to be tools and not mere aesthetic objects, it is hypocritical to hate on an Apple Watch. TBH, I get way more functionality from my Apple Watch than my chronograph or diver. It’s a watch I can take to my workouts and runs, listen to music, track my steps and even pick up calls. And yes I can do those things on my phone but it’s the convenience of being able to do that on my wrist, without having to carry my phone everywhere. Also, from a design perspective one may not like it but there is no denying that it is one of the most influential watch designs in the last 10 years with many brands following suit later. So, in my opinion it’s perfectly alright to own an Apple Watch as an enthusiast, in fact I would strongly advise everyone to get one.

[@davidpantoja676]

A watch tells time i don't give a fuck what anyone thinks or says about me.

spot off on the library/book collection of people in their homes. did i really hear that right? at least every book on my shelves and there are 100's, i hav read and enjoyed enough to keep them

[@chongjiunkit3901]

I have an Omega De Ville Prestige, an Omega Speedmaster Professional, a Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGY 011 “Asaborake”, a TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date, a Longines Master and a Longines Hydroconquest. I wear them to match my dress shirt colour and casual outfit, I like my watches. I am taking care of my late father’s Rolex Datejust but I don’t feel comfortable or glorified by wearing it. I am planning to get a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase in another few years and an A Lange & Sohne when I retire.

[@douglaskrueger357]

Well done!

[@jkunani9456]

The shill was painful and embarrassing! At least I’d feel that way if I did that shit.

[@Official_MikeyT]

I wonder what my collection says about me? 1. Bulova Oceanographer "Devil Diver" in green 2. Bulova Sutton Classic in brown 3. REC 901 Rotana n.295/305 4. Moonswatch Mission to the Moon 5. Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms "Ocean of Storms" 6. My Grandfather's Bulova Caravelle TTC retirement watch 7. A vintage Picard automatic pocket watch 8. 2 Timex Ironman Triathlon watches that I haven't worn in years and will never wear again 9. A Brooks Brothers branded Chronograph (probably made by Fossil and licensed by BB) 10. My dad's uni grad Seiko Moonphase Chronograph from the 80s, described by Seiko Canada as having "irrepairable water damage." Now a stylish paperweight 11. A Snoopy Swatch Next up for me is a vintage Santos Ronde, a vintage Datejust, and a monoface Reverso. Will probably acquire a BB54 at some point too and a Bvlgari Aluminum (Gran Turismo x Bvlgari collab for VGT)

[@Victestr0104]

You’re 1000% heterosexual.

[@briedcan]

I am not a fan of apple products. However, your view on people that wear them is rather disgusting. It says a lot about you as a person.

[@AaronRobinProductions]

The Apple Watch is a fantastic addition to my collection of timepieces, alongside my Rolex, Tudor, and Omega watches. I primarily wear my traditional watches for work and casual settings, while the Apple Watch Ultra accompanies me during strength training and marathon sessions. Its sleep tracking features help optimize my rest and overall performance. It's great to see many watch enthusiasts embracing smartwatches for performance optimization.

[@H_tudor]

Its probably the most “useful” watch I own

[@AlexCurry-e6w]

Too much caffeine?

[@ViolinistWilliam]

This was awesome. Great questions!

[@SjWhit]

Listening to this guy, whoever he is, for the first time makes me think he's the type of guy who didn't like your music because he knows a band that sounds better but you probably don't know who they are. If this dude commented on my watch and started to talk the way he does, I'd kindly ask, in a very polite tone, to piss off and then point at him and laugh with the other person sitting next to me. Gross.

Have my Hamilton Khaki on right now. It was my first nice watch and really fits my lifestyle. I’m in the military and so it works perfectly while in uniform as well as for post work drinks in jeans. I’m also definitely in that budding watch enthusiast camp, much to my wife’s chagrin… 😅

[@EricBishard]

Most on point what you watch says about you. Hands down (6:30:30)

[@jasonventer7130]

do more like this please. so good

[@nate2188764]

The irony of the cassoulet comment is that it’s a Provençal peasant dish. It’s luxurious now due to the time and effort it takes to make a good one. Theoretically though, it’s a luxury anyone can enjoy. Make your own with chicken thighs, bacon, and sausage and enjoy with a glass of glenmorangie 10 year, a glass of red wine, or a knob creek whiskey. Strap on a Seiko tank and enjoy luxury at a bargain!

[@neilgriffiths1503]

Been watching for a while but I think I'm done just becoming more and more snobbish and out of touch with reality my friends. Your not royalty, or old money or aristocratic just seems like your trying to hard become full of your own self importance. I noticed when you started pushing watch brands like Omega that you don't even wear this channel was becoming more like QVC then it was at actually being interested in watches. Pride goes before a fall and you are full of pride.

[@arnewillaert8009]

Please do the Rolex Pepsi oyster bracelet in your next video 🙏🏻

[@ronibajralia7008]

Impressive! I actually got the black dial gold sub because it flew under the radar more than. My first major watch was indeed a yellow gold Submariner with a black face. I wore it for about 9 months before upgrading to the full gold Yachtmaster 2. Nowadays, I opt for a rubber Oyster band on the Submariner for a sportier look, while I reserve the Yacht-Master 2 for special occasions. By the way, I'm a young, self-made individual with a bit of muscle, so your comment about that gave me a good laugh!

What does a 26715ST 38 mm AP say about someone? Grey dial.

[@peteyplays-new]

What does the two-tone 36mm Rolex explorer say about you...?

[@UNLISTEDWEB]

You are so WRONG! When you wear ROLEX no one will say anything! And it will bug you because you just spent 30k on it. There are so many SUPERCLONES that Rolex lost its WOW factor. Unless you open it you will not know

[@KC-bv9kf]

As an artist with a collection of timepieces, Christian’s narrow mindedness is … disappointing and …well, I will leave it at that… Be authentic That is true beauty.

[@traviswatts6661]

I own the Hamilton Khaki Field as well as a steel JLC Reverso. Thanks for reminding me of what great taste I have and how intelligent I am. Ha ha. I ran into the Tiffany Nautilus on the wrist at watch boutique encounter. The salesman and I were a bit star struck, however I still can’t relate to the hype.

[@spikeyclive7325]

Great Video. If i saw a fella with a Hamilton Khaki Field id assume they had a proper watch collection filled with eclectic pieces, and an undercover connoisseur, much like someone wearing a Gshock to a watch event. Its a true 'If you know you know' kind of watch

[@permianplantworks5834]

Nurse.... perfect! BTW I have a great library of books... ALL of which, either my wife or I have read.... What do the following watches say about me: HM&C Pioneer Perp. Cal. (3800-1200), Seiko SNR045, Omega Aqua Terra Worldtimer, JLC Master Geographic (Pink) & a 116710LN say about me? ...other than I should probably sell them all for a Zeitwerk Date... ?

[@thevampirecielphantomhive2342]
