Does anyone else feel like she really didn’t say anything you couldn’t find on the Tudor website? I didn’t get any insights from this video what its like to wear this watch.

[@VictorNightingale1]

five minutes of "i like this watch because it's smaller than the others"

[@ir0nhead11]

Yeah the Creator's for the newer generation of watch collecting and that's ok

[@rho58]

she could take a lesson from city Stephen, who tested the limits of the 58 by always being “on the go” 😂

[@NimsChannel]

They have those watch collector interviews on a channel, I forget which one. The guys are always going over who gave them the watch, what they like about it, mild history. Not to be inflammatory but the girls literally all say, they took it from their ex boyfriend. They like that it's green... Etc.

[@grahamlawton6250]

Worn & wound has gone over this watch up and down…check out their reviews for more specifics. Love my 54

[@ABCDEF-br6it]

Disappointed with this. Always liked Malaika on the Hodinkee podcast, but the pretentiousness and lack of substance makes this utterly unwatchable

[@robertrocha597]

Congratulations. She managed to make a video and said nothing. It is quite an accomplishment. Haha

[@jonathancorbett7882]

She managed to show off her incredible vocal fry, though.

What would you have added?

[@robertrocha597]

@@FelixRodriguez-vg9pp 1. The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight is a highly regarded timepiece known for its vintage-inspired design. It pays homage to Tudor's iconic dive watches from the 1950s and 1960s, capturing the essence of that era with its classic aesthetics. 2. This watch features a 39mm case size, which is slightly smaller compared to other modern dive watches, making it more versatile and suitable for a wider range of wrist sizes. The smaller case size gives it a more elegant and refined look, while still maintaining its robustness and functionality. 3. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight is equipped with Tudor's in-house movement, the MT5402. This automatic movement offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping and convenience for everyday wear. The watch also boasts a water resistance of 200 meters, making it suitable for various water activities. Overall, the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight combines vintage charm with modern reliability, making it a desirable choice for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. 4. Raven Watch company came out with this design before Tudor came out with this design and would be an awesome collection piece and easy on your wallet.

[@Abbas-bx6wi]

Felt like an ad and didn’t genuinely feel like she liked the watch

[@imoutofyourleague4299]

Only a Brit living in the US could put on such a hilarious RP accent that it’s beyond a parody of even the poshest here in England 🤢

[@cosmojames7710]

Definitely inspired by GstaadGuy 😂

[@qchang09]

I'm glad it's a parody. I decided 30 seconds into the video that I can only take hearing it in small doses 😂

[@post_vizsla2761]

Vocal fry makes me want to die.

[@satl3161]

Who wrote this script?? AI?? terrible writing

[@macgrawkate995]

Pretentious? Moi?

[@jeanlefranc3817]

After watching this video, I took my BlackBay 58 off my wrist and picked up my trusty pre 2000 Speedmaster.

[@lukeheyes780]

Love the watch. Her accent however, sounds like a parody of a BBC News presenter from the 1960s.

[@peanutarbuckle2879]

[@b.vonschnauser207]

Great release by Tudor for those who want a vintage inspired, but smaller diver. Bravo.

[@MrShortanswer]

The writing here was really poor.

[@BWen3]

🙄🙄

[@blaketaylor9317]

Hodinkee fell OFF a while ago...😢

[@Eyephere]

Let’s analyze this. What was “really poor” about it versus other videos w/ a similar theme?

[@jimmybrianjennings1979]

Correct I thought the same

[@rolexdatejust2015]

Yes

[@v3sinned]

Hodikee is truly done. Really doesn’t evoke anything for me anymore. Sadly. Really miss the old crew, and style.

[@jonathancorbett7882]

Totally agree. This sort of content makes me sad. And people who are new into watches think that's what it's all about.

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

Between this and Adam Levine on talking watches I'm wondering if Hodinkee even likes us anymore.

[@ramakrishnamitta7024]

There is a disconnect between the audio and video. She sounds so uninterested.

[@M4NA5]

Watch at 1.5x speed. You’re welcome.

[@user-cf2px2ko8y]

I would add to that mutting the sound...

[@BAF605]

She may love the watch but nowhere near as much as she loves herself.

[@kaisersozay99]

💯

[@michaelriera6277]

You said it.

[@gpant]

To me, the video is meant to say "hey ladies! Look at this tudor". I didn't find any more insights about the watch, neither I was convinced you spent a week with it. Let's call it a tudor advertisement targeted to women.

[@GrumblingForesight]

My first thought after seeing how good it looks on Malaika’s wrist was ‘I think it’d look great on my GF’s wrist too!’, second thought was, ‘nah, thats what the 38mm Seiko 5 is for, am definitely getting this for myself!’ Lol

[@BoazNGK]

seiko 5 lol

[@richardsmegma5081]

Oh, lah-di-dah!

[@uncleruckus6229]

Had to watch this ‘review’ on mute from 1-minute onwards 😂

[@rho58]

from Moki Martin and The Long Return to this

[@elfo1799]

Worst watch video ever…

[@GNP999]

Was really hyped for this watch and the Hodinkee review but this video was very disappointing. Sorry but just being honest. The script was lame and the delivery was worse

[@monjet1801]

De La Soul couldnt have said it better… Me, Myself and I. Who cares it should be about watches? It should be about my “brand” and how I perceive to be a “Icon” in this world!! 😂

[@dsmlive3982]

Aww! Love ❤️. I have mine on currently. Agree.

[@sjsk313]

Great looking watch. Now all it needs is a date wheel for everyday use, then i'd buy it right away.

[@universeliminate]

She didn’t even mention her wrist size lol

[@cheesychester9647]

Good watch, bad video.

[@ozzy1154]

Great watch. But I really, really do not like this Malaika person.

[@matthewblair4963]

😂

[@Jim58223]

What's the coloured ring on the Hondinkee logo? Has it always been there?

[@wildbuck6574]

It's for homosexuals

[@johnheng3277]

I have been on sideline on whether I should get this watch and your video has motivated me to just go get it. I already have the BB58 blue, and BB41 blue bezel. If I get this watch also, this would complete by dive watch collection in term of sizes: small, medium, large.

[@_taxman_]

🙄

[@cosmodoc]

the watch suits you extremely well!!

[@jgo8305]

Honestly not the best review I’ve seen, or video

[@julianmoriati4682]

I love this watch! I’m curious if it comes in blue next year ☺️

[@ichbinderrizal]

I bought the Pelagos 39 few months ago and kind of regret because I wanna have this BB54. I might get this tomorrow, since the handler called me yesterday, that it’s available already in their shop. 🤞🏽

[@ichbinderrizal]

So happy to have this watch finally. Bought it 3 days ago. I am in love with both of my watches now. Love triangle indeed. ❤

[@jdupuis4829]

Well that video brought nothing interesting

[@curtbrown7718]

Ugh. This felt more like an advertisement for the commentator than a watch review. Hodinkee, do better.

[@richardwarren2024]

Come for the BB54 shots, stay for the slow mo, strange dance moves at the end!

[@Yong_Goh]

4:30 have you tried wearing a daytona before? My wife (who is a quite teeny asian in size) wears one and it wears wonderfully on her as it has lugs that are not too protruding from the case and the watch itself doesnt wear very tall

[@Stanjara]

Even tho they only changed the size, that's a big deal. They nailed it! Hope that Tudor continues the model with other colors, but even this one is spot on. Great job Tudor!

[@ShamrockRagEll]

They didn’t only change the size. There’s many new details that make it very attractive. But I agree. They nailed it.

[@junboklee4532]

I have it and it will stay in my collection forever. Period.

[@michaelriera6277]

“.”

[@MrDolphin1957]

Looks great on you ! But what is your wrist size ?

[@the_shadow_realm5110]

Who is this beautiful woman? She is stunning and eloquent. A true elite.

[@torontowatches9709]

Don’t understand why they don’t start using the Mercedes hands like their true historical 50s watches. Also those nasty fake rivets are just nasty.

[@travischang1175]

change the hour hand Do without the chamfer on the bracelet ( and rivets) and this really is a very pleasant watch

[@kart182]

What should the hour hands be changed to?

[@travischang1175]

they had both the mercedes and regular index hands. the index hands would be even more true to the "original" this model was based of. @@kart182

[@user-kj7rp9ml9r]

very, very good !!!

[@larzoneth]

Need this with the fabric strap like the black BB58!

[@johnmonachelli5256]

This clip from 1800s London is excellent

[@nikhilmathur6042]

Debating if I want to buy this I have a new sub date and a Seiko 5 and Daytona so not sure if I need this but I love the size Wish it had a big crown

Where’s the normal dude that does it. This was seems to cheap for how she sounds

Ouf, this video is rough. Listen to your viewers Hodinkee, and dont you dare use the sexist comment as a rebuff. Nothing to do with sexism. just the content and review are garbage.

[@alfredhimmel4116]

Love the vocal fry. Bb

[@user-xu1nj5zk3c]

Gorgeous…oh and the watch is nice too 😏

[@ir0nhead11]

The watch is nice the review was ok don't know why there's so much hate

[@BWen3]

Right. Agreed! There’s been much worse on this channel. It feels like the Hodinkee community hates what HOD has become and they take it out on the creators. Hodinkee saw this as an opportunity to grow its female base. If you don’t like it, keep scrolling.

Mens watch

[@AcmeRocket]

"While I tend to reach for Yellow gold Serpentis, and Onyx dial Day Dates..." Smh 🤮

It’s not silver printing it’s gold printing.

[@sensible202]

Looks kinda big for her. Boyfriends watch. Dive watches for ladies?

[@miemj.8075]

Mam, I didn't feel any compassion with your review. It was as if you were just doing it for the sake of content creation. Thank you. Next!

[@dellwright1407]

I’d save up for a sub. Not a big fan of fake faux patina on indices.

Why are you talking like this?

[@universeliminate]

People who are… ‘entry level’???

[@JamesAlexander14]

What makes this watch better than other competitive brands such as Certina with their 34.5 mm diameter dive watches? This is really coming over as a promo for Tudor and personally, it is too small for me!

[@cohan.forcer]

Snug!
