Kelly Slater is a local hero here in Florida.

[@revandrem]

So I have this watch and I fully understand every criticism. They are fair, but seeing this watch on my wrist just keeps wowing me. It wears so well and looks so good on wrist. (I have the blue and white)

[@nedflanders3769]

Cool watch. Great photography! Totally legit criticism of the movement. I have the superocean heritage in blue dial and I think Breitling is way underrated.

[@IronTiger84]

I really like that shade of orange 🍊 and overall design. It does have a good look in the dark 🤩‼️🐶🐶🥰

[@DisplayKeesBack]

These new colours make the breitlings quite the bright things.

[@Tyler-sl6vg]

Breitling doesn't seem to offer the same value at a given price point but it's a very romantic brand and I intend to own one some day. As a plus these ETA movements are nice and thin and that is a plus for this watch vs the comparables. I agree tho it should be priced lower. I think all the mainstream luxury brands these days are being pressured into increasing their prices to keep up their image. Good review.

[@mdo5121]

Not overwhelmed by this watch....even this upgraded design does not move me (NO WOW FACTOR)...and at that price I would buy a Longines with a better power reserve and save money to put towards another watch

[@jodysilvia2]

I'm not a fan of that humongous chapter ring. I'll stick the the previous version. I agree with you on the movement not being an in-house movement and the price being to high for this particular model with a off the shelf movement.

[@saymyname218]

I totally agree with you about the Seamaster. I love almost all of them but hate that helium escape valve. But check out the.. (Omega Seamaster 50th Anniversary GMT).... "I think you'll like it."

[@cocoyc495]

haha. I thought of "Saved by The Bell", when I saw this title.

[@brianmsahin]

Very nice, and I'm very partial to orange dials too. And 42mm..... Perfect size!

[@charles_the_elder]

Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! This has been a fun journey watching the channel grow. I really like the watch, just not at that price. I love the orange dial and the indices, the minute hand is a distraction. I 100% agree about the movement. Also, I just received my first pair of Grant Stone boots, and I love them. I got the Ottawa Boot Natural Kangaroo, I love light colored boots. And lastly, love the dogs. They should pay an occasional visit to the channel.

[@elizabeth_grant]

The dogs will occasionally drop in and say hi.

[@dazza1976]

Good review and I agree with you about that lume block on the seconds hand. Way too big. It's also way over priced.

[@Voivod74]

fantastic review. recently I discovered your channel and overall is really impressive the accuracy and passion of the reviews. I hope this channel skyrockets. I recently purchased the Dan Henry 1975 thanks to your video! Best Regards

[@stevemoreno6241]

I like this new version but I still love my last gen version with all the things you said you didn't like about it.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Yeah, It's a polarizing opinion.

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

I like the old Super Ocean (I have one) and I like the new design, too. But to be honest, at first glance I’m never sure which is the minute hand and which is the hour hand. Not intuitive. But it has a VERY sharp look. Great video, thanks.

[@manwithclass09]

Hello again Elle... Great review and as always - to the point and credible. The "Industry Outsider" strikes again! I have a couple of Breitling watches in my current collection and both are really quite beautiful and very enjoyable to wear. They are keepers that will be going nowhere soon. Interesting new take on the Superocean but I will be sticking with my current Superocean Heritage "Bluesie"... CONGRATS on 10k subs - you go girl..... Well deserved rapid growth in your subs/channel!!! Keep up the great work - love the new look (hair) and love your dog..... They do take up a lot of time but always worth it! What a great Sunday morning - new vids from two of my favorite "KZbin ladies of the watch world" released in one day!

[@elizabeth_grant]

I usually release new stuff on Friday and certainly not as late as Sunday but life intervenes and I've been super busy. As much as I like the look of this newest incarnation of the Superocean, I still prefer the Superocean heritage, at least in terms of appearance if not specifically wearability.( I have small wrists).

[@cardinalj]

I agree with you on the movement. I tried on this and a omega SMP and the omega won because of the movement.

[@WATCHingJames]

There is something great about orange divers

[@terrorrbabbletwo]

Been waiting for your review on this watch and you didn't disappoint. Thank you for not being biased and highlighting the negative aspects of this watch (movement, price, minute hand, power reserve, etc). You would be foolish to buy this at retail when there are way better options out there. You can get a BB58 on bracelet for about $3600 on the grey market which is a much better deal, and you'd still have money left over for a steak dinner for two and a case of beer.

[@the-watcher1596]

Yeah I live in Daytona Beach FL and all I knew about Kelly slater was he was brand ambassador for this surfing wet suit brand that made other textiles and stuff called Quicksilver. but in the late 90s when I was 13 or so you weren't cool inless you had a Quicksilver backpack and or T-shirt so I worked all summer of 1999 cutting grass in my neighborhood to purchase said backpack and 1 T-shirt.... and going to school that next year made me feel so good that I achieved something on my own...but on another note I think you could definitely pull off that 42mm size it looked good anywho sorry for the long drawn out comment. Lol keep up the great content 👍

[@denimdemon9]

Did not expect a critical drinker reference here

[@Texas_Red_01]

This is an attractive watch, a shame about the movement. The orange dial reminds me of the DOXA. I saw your review of the Doxa 200. Have you looked at any of the higher-end models? Also, are you wearing your hair longer? It looks great! :-)

[@mantisshadow8990]

Great video Elizabeth. This watch is frustratingly close to perfect for me. I dont mind the large square however I would've preferred it to have been on the hour hand instead and for the hour hand to be the minutes hand (elongated ofcourse). Though that price for an SW200 is absolutely ridiculous to me as well. Overall it's a nice watch for sure. Looking forward to the Hamilton Intramatic Chronograph review!

[@ref6122]

IMHO Breitling has to charge that extremely high price for a Sellita movement dive watch because they are trying to raise all their watches in all their lines to the level of a true aspirational item.I remember even a few years ago I saw the latest Colt model for 1999$ grey market along with the previous gen.Superocean for 2700$. Thats something you would never see with Omega or Rolex.Maybe they believe your average non enthusiast consumer just wants a Breitling on their wrist as proof they are the general Rolex- Omega neighborhood and not caring too much about the movement.

[@MrZanzibar123]

Yeah, great looking but way overpriced. I did fall in love with the rainbow indiced Superocean…. Sigh.

[@electrobob1]

I don't get it on the "lack of" power reserve. It isn't a handwound watch is it thus it isn't a big deal. I like the design quite a bit and it's much more fresh as the regular dive designs going for decades. It's a bold design and it is questionable if this could be an endgame watch for me despite the price tag I might save up for it. On the other hand... Might be theft sensitive because of the easy to classify dial design...

[@Tonysoprano497]

Exact same feelings .. love the look and feel on the wrist . But just can’t consider 5 k for a selita based movement . Have nothing against the movement but price the piece accordingly and it won’t look such an unadulterated cash grab .

[@elefantrising]

Kelly Slater is THE GOAT of surfing he is beyond legend at this point, being a surfer and a watch guy I can say he is well deserving of anything named after him. cheers

[@stephengarratt8027]

The movement is a deal breaker really! The Doxa sub 200 gives you the same movement and bags of heritage for under a thousand pounds.

[@dgarrido3381]

Macros are great, like the dial but I am too much biased towards Omega, Rolex and IWC.

[@kennkingg]

Great dogs, also you could definitely pull off the 42 mm. We must be around the same age because my thoughts went straight to saved by the bell too lol.

[@jimlittle5769]

Have this watch and love it. In fact, wearing it today. First Breitling I loved enough to pull out my wallet and buy it. When my wife saw a pic of it the day it was released, she said 'That watch looks like it was made for you'. Ordered it the next day cause, you know, had to get it after my wife said that.

[@aserosiris]

The minutes hand was what killed it for me, it feels like they took the aesthetics from a completely different watch and just put in. Also DOGGOS!

[@Augustus_Imperator]

Great watch, but at a price point of a Seamaster 300M, not sure it's reaIIy worth it

[@jwags24]

Holy crap your monitor is a BEAST.

[@donaldollom2374]

The Navitimer has been an off and on grail of mine for a while, until the pistachio came out. I will have a pistachio eventually once I shore up my collection with a BB58, Explorer, and G.S. Spring Drive. Love what you've done with your hair BTW Liz!

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Liz dressed like a bohemian surfer gal!

[@watchenthusiastlondon]

I really enjoy your videos. Bravo and thank you. I haven’t ever been interested in Breitling before so this is a first.

[@markymark3572]

Everyone thought that Breitling were screwed when the company was bought by a renowned for asset striping private equity company, myself included. Instead, with their new management team, they have actually been bringing out some of their best timepieces in years

[@nekton.avenger]

The min hand box is difficult to take given the what else was highlighted in the video as drawbacks. If Kelly and Slater got together then Zack and Skreetch would need to heat up the bromance to balance out the show. And darn the supercolliders,always making a mess😂 Thanks for the insights an view of the Breitling.

[@crazybuckeye2315]

Your pups just wanted some paw time lol

[@drbobsnightmare2521]

Kelly Slater shreds, you kook.

[@christophwunderlin2845]

lol love "the drinker" shoutout!

[@Another_User_Name_]

The white inner ring is a bit thick for my taste, but it's not a deal breaker. I'd like a date and a better power reserve for this price point. I also think this watch in the 44 mm hits the sweet spot for my size wrist. All that being said, I don't think I'd pay almost $6k for this watch and I'm a big Breitling fan.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Fair enough! I’m a big Breitling fan as well. But I understand this model isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

[@vce2103]

One of the main reasons for wanting this watch is the unbelievable bracelet!! It is top notch with the amazing clasp and micro adjust - love it! Seriously considering a yellow 42 on bracelet!! 😍

[@jimlittle5769]

If I was looking for an only watch, or like a 2nd watch, I wouldn't go with this watch at it's price point. At that price point, I would go with the Seamaster 300M, which is the watch I've had in my collection the longest. In a decent size collection though, it's fun to have.

[@SIZZO76]

I love the SEAMASTER 🔥🔥🔥

[@lukasz_zegarkowy]

Great hairdo 😊 and the episode too ;)

[@SingleTrackMined]

+1 for correct use of beggars as a verb 😊 Great video.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Thanks! 😃

[@chriscon8463]

Very nice review; your intro looked so professional I thought it was a commercial! I think your assessment or that movement is spot-on. I feel like pricing on this should be comparable to Oris or Tag Heuer.

[@halfpastblog]

First, I totally related to the Saved by the Bell pondering. Second, I am always blown away by the quality of your videos. Definitely taking notes! Thanks, Elizabeth. 🍻

[@drummerboy1066]

Interesting and thanks for the great vid. I wonder how many people will now be encouraged to buy the older model before they become impossible to find. I know it’s a matter of taste, but if you’re not into the new model then snap up the older one while you can. Personally, I think the old model was very under appreciated.

[@dray1842]

I like the orange and no date .

[@MisterKnightly]

At first glance when these came out I was absolutely in love with it. But then I noticed that the second hand doesn't have a counter balance, and I can't appreciate that.

[@treasurecoastgypsy]

Save your money and get an OMEGA Seamaster 300..

[@SIZZO76]

I agree. I love the SEAMASTER

[@WatchWitt]

Great first choice from Saltzman! Love the orange with green accents too. The white chapter ring is what classes it up. I like the block on the minute hand!

[@icychap]

Want to review an Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm? You could borrow mine. No strings, other than a few cool photos of my watch. Let me know!

[@ae-ca602]

But the movement! The price would be reasonable if they used the same tudor movement with 70 hr of power reserve. Don't mind the large square on the minute hand but it would've been better if the second hand was the large one.

[@NaNByZero]

I am obsessed with squares. :P Hmmm…. I think the square minute hand is the answer to Tudor‘s snow flake hands. I really want to see a brand that uses a snow cake hand! Snow Cake is not a bad movie by the way. 🎉🍸🍸

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

This is bold for Breitling (very conservative) to jump on the colored dial face, in the early 1960s-late 1970s watch companies were a bit more daring! Have a look at a company which goes by the name Jena (if my memory serves me right)with a tropical dial (color wise: Orange with a 2824-2, anodized aluminum bezel)which are still available thru E-Bay. A less expensive alternative is also available thru EBay made by Eisenhardt with a much older eta movement (as was the original). I figure that Breitling is feeling the pulse (with a very low production), assembly of a short run causes much higher cost😢(Ford Mustang H.O. /VS/ lowest cost Ferrari). Gradually the big boys: Rolex, etc. will probably jump also on this bandwagon??? (No more Tiffany Blues 😂)The oranged dial face was born with Doxa (if not mistaking) after long research by scuba divers including Jacques Cousteau which were more visible in bad lighting condition. Like anything else in this world: fashion comes and goes by cycle! Hoping they take YOU as their ambassador instead 😉 Another good watch company is Orient which offers you a variety of diver watches with Orange dial face! N.B. : C.O.S.C also includes a magnetic field test but is not clear what they do. I know that ETA watches which pass the COSC test has a special balance wheel & now with a silicone hairspring! Hoping this shine a bit more info. on 🍊 orange face dials!

[@pinkbono]

I actually skipped this watch for the exact reasons you have enumerated, and went for a Tudor Chronometer equipped with...A Bretling B01 movement 🤷‍♂️

[@drzaius844]

Great review. I would love it if you’d review the Planet Ocean 39.5 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rajeevkrishnadas]

Personally, for orange dials, I prefer my first gen orange monster and my SKX 011 orange boy... yes they're Seiko, and this one's a Breitling. No comparisons...limited edition, whatever. But for more than 15 times the price, I just don't see where this one stands at all....

[@pato7694]

I’m surprised you know Saved By the Bell but not Kelly Slater but the Kelly + Slater = Kelly Slater reference was epic. 👏🏼 Breitlings were the 1st luxury watch brand that got me interested in watches 20 years ago (I’m 42 now). I was too poor to buy one then so I quit wanting to get into higher end up watches until now. Now that’s I’m older Breitlings don’t appeal to me as much with one exception…anything with that pistachio green dial. Now that is a sexy color. Unfortunately all of the watches with that color are too small for me. You point about the movement is well taken though. I’d really like the Tag Aquaracer 300 GMT but the cost in relation to the movement stopped me from buying it when I finally decided on my Longine Spirit Zulu.

[@Kingfisher1215]

I’m still holding out for the Jeff Spicoli model. “All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.” - Jeff Spicoli. And nice hair E, I note the new color/highlights. Note to guys, always compliment a woman’s hair and shoes. 😊

[@MegaFclef]

Tisk Tisk Breitling, the Doxa Sub 300T has an 38hr movement, more history with the orange dial,divers use and 1200 meters wr for under 2k. It’s a pass for me at the high retail price

[@DjKayD]

Great review puss in boots. I'd go for the white dial if I had to choose one, but would much prefer the Breitling premier datora b25 or a navitimer in the collection. I did like the blue diver (with the big numbers) but it was huge on my wrists so went with the BB58 instead. Cute doggos btw. 🐕‍🦺

[@kylesalisbury6789]

I think Kelly guest starred on some old bad Baywatch episodes. That is my memory of him. Def would not pay more to have his name attached. Plus I like the other models better. No offense to Kelly. I am just not a surf person. The Breitling Avenger Blackbird is my favorite watch outside of Resco Instruments Blackfrog.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video, thank you Elizabeth. I like Breitling also, can see why people like this watch. Just can't get used to the big chapter ring, and what you brought up: the competition. It just doesn't seem enough watch to justify the price.

[@mohammadhamdan9129]

its different than any breitling design watch i have ever seen before and its too expensive maybe because its a celebrity watch or because its limited edition and great review keep going up

[@KeepingWatchUK]

Happy New Year! Don’t dislike this Breitling, but not overly keen on the oversized inner white chapter ring. Looks a bit naff. Just my opinion.

[@iancraig6070]

Obviously Breitling have raided the Swatch parts bin to make an expensive watch look cheap. Micro brands are doing the opposite.

[@fluttershysweetiepie]

Great video 👍🏻 question for you, why don’t you ever livestream like other watch channels?

[@Mpayne1472]

I’ve seen them up close. Love the look. Hate the price. Hate the limited edition. Hard pass P.S Love the doggos

[@light1531]

‘Nice spot’ within Breitling catalog. Maybe the square block on the minute hand is the start of an iconic look - like the snow flake hands on the Tudors. The small dial is a clever way to make the 42mm less bulky.

[@AussieWristWatch]

This is a great watch! I like it too, the mix of white with a bold colour makes them a fun watch and kinda works with the whole surfer vibe!

[@johnturnerjr7221]

I liked this so much, I bought my gf one in the 36mm size and now I'm jealous 😢. She loves the watch and it's sized for her.

[@UltraDoug]

I honestly sat here thinking Kelly Slater was a 90210 character. Turns out 🤔 anyway, there are elements of this watch that are nice, but I despise the new design direction of Breitling.

[@Mysteryboy0007]

Im a business major and non of my friends have heard of any of these watches and think these watches are ugly af. They do rly like PP, rolex, omegas, and GS tho... lol

[@TechnoLawyer]

Isn’t Breitling a brand you can expect a significant discount on? Of course, problem there is that this applies to most non-special edition Omegas as well. I do like how it looks though.

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Must agree not a fan of the big square on the hand. In fact not a fan of this watch at all. Always like your videos. Keep up the good work. 👍Cheers Ron

[@the88lundberg]

Its so good looking and I love the second hand, but yea no damn SW 200 for me... dealbreakee. Loving the new hair tho. 😍

[@vladpiranha]

The new design's symmetry is appreciated, but the blocky, brutalist design has a microbrand look to it that betrays the hefty price tag.

[@slowbluesmaster]

I don't care about the specs, that minute hand is an instant dealbreaker. Next!

[@tonylevoyageur]

The square is so ugly... I won't buy it just for that. I will buy an Omega instead

[@nbcuni]

This looks exactly like our Dan Henry 1970 you and I both have.

[@jamesblonde2271]

I want a slow chrono so much more than this, these do look quite cool but I still think its a terrible piece of heritige plunder. Also, everytime you say "workhorse movement" you have to buy me a beer

[@colincelso9428]

I agree. Charging more money for a celebrity linked watch with no changes apart from colour is wrong. Keep up the real reviews

[@lordoflek]

good vid, I was shocked when that drunken film critic showed up tho....

[@ricktrue8441]

For some weird reason I like the look of this watch.Gotta give Breitling credit for using a little imagination in design and color though hardly for many. Like the doggies too.

[@Kingofgoodtimes.]

I think they are just riding on the breitling name to justify the price. I have the previous model due to a good discount at an AD. Kinda still want this one too.

[@4evalost948]

That orange on the dial and that black and white color comb is a real eye-catching pleasure, I don't why but the colors make me think of a melon for some reason almost like a honey dew maybe its just me maybe or I can't be doing only one thinking this.

[@craig2100]

Interesting looking, but not my cup of tea. The second hand throws me off. But good share nonetheless.

[@NathanChisholm041]

I see you've learnt the power of the thumbnail? lol

[@jettyung2389]

There's something magical about an orange dial

[@antonbayda2571]

Love the vid! This watch is a rip-off, IMO.

[@fadiinspace]

Did you say 39mm seamaster diver 300? You and me both

[@bobdillon7254]

Dogs are just the best… 😊

[@elizabeth_grant]

Indeed.

[@texex9251]

Great timing on this video for me. I tried this watch on at a Breitling event about 6 months ago. Two days ago I traded in my Previous generation orange superocean on this newer Kelly Slater edition. I Loved the color of the older watch but could never get used to the unbalanced dial. I did loose my shirt on the trade in but at least I got a 15% discount on the new one. Keep the great content coming Elizabeth!

[@tricky92x]

Exact same scenario for me. The only thing that would have been perfect would be if they kept the winged logo on the new editions. I will also say that the new strap is infinitely better than the last model (although I think I liked the clasp better).

[@seattlegrrlie]

Love the giant chapter ring, don't love the price point for the value
