Just got mine and I get it’s a little expensive but for an everyday watch it looks and feels great. Nice to have this as an everyday backup to my nicer breitlings. Highly recommend
This amount of money for a Quarz watch??? No way! If that would be a mechanical watch with a price tag +1000 Euro then I would consider it to add to my watch collection. But not for a Quarz movement
Second to this, Quartz is not for everyone and there is no such thing as expensive or overpriced. Its either we can afford it or not, these brand are all about social flex. So just buy and enjoy it otherwise if you have bills to pay then simply move on, im the latter so yeah. Still a very nice watch and good review !!!
The case is made from carbon not plastic, the rubber strap is more secure with life long lasting durability as well as color with the bold and handsome Breitling letters that pays respect to the brands history and legacy in the watch world, all while giving it a sportier look that is perfectly matched with the most masculine, sporty yet at the same time elegant and classy state of the art case and dial design with more matte finish rendered previous aerospace hands which translates into superior legibility by providing the dial with allot more contrast.All that pure sole and beauty is accompanied with a very accurate Super quartz thermo compensated Chrono movement that is a chronometer sports.This is undeniably a status symbol that Is only suited for wealthy ppl but If you want something more affordable as the perfect everyday beater watch that does it all then I would go with the Boldr Venture since the case is made of titanium, very light and comfortable and has great water resistance of up to 200 meters and an unbeatable value.Looks awesome too but still it's no Breitling 😢
@basselamjad958 well said all these people bad mouthing it who know nothing about it and most definitely don't own one 🙄 I love mine very nice watch 👌 plus it's a breitling who doesn't love breitling
The complication and the watch's name/purpose seem to conflict. Surely endurance athletes would be more interested in hours elapsed, rather than capping out at 30 minutes? As someone who'd love something like this for cycling, I have no use for 10th of a second, but total ride time elapsed would be great. I've tried it on, and honestly I want one, but just find that complication useless - even if I were trying to time something like swimming splits, the time it takes me to reach over and use the pushers negates the precision of the 10th second timer.
I have one and it is aligned, either or if you have these issue then bring it to Breitling service and they will simply re-calibrate the watch for free. They should mentioned that during the sales when you buy in a boutique and your paying literally for the service, it's 3.5K watch so expect for slightly better service.
A white strap will get dirty in no time.. Huge mistake imo. The crystal is amazing, but since it's a double aided AR, the top AR could be scratched easly and be removed. There is not much you can do about that because most polish materials doesn't work on Sapphire and if they do, you will remove the coating from the glass.
It’s not a huge mistake - silicone is very easy to clean. Your comment has the same mentality as people that don’t buy light colored shoes, because they’re too lazy to clean them. Drama
if you buy a cheapie silicon strap then 100% ... if its a decent FKM / vulcanised strap as is the case here, then its a different box of frogs entirely
Incidentally - you say there is a 12 hour timer, and there is not. Slightly depressing that going into complications for a second or two or even getting them correct is secondary in a watch review - we do pretend that these things aren't just expensive jewellery, right?
This is a luxury brand, don’t listen to them they are jealous they can’t afford one. It is meant for athletes, so of course it’s not going to be a big clanky piece of metal. These feel hefty in person and you can see the quality and detail, hold it next to any invicta/ g shock and see the difference. THOSE look cheap not this
Welcome to YT & the Net in general. Some of these comments are so clownish that I have to believe they’re from kids that know nothing about timepieces. One goofball wrote that this looks like an Invicta. He either needs his eyes checked or has never seen one of these in-person.
Now all youtubers try to convince people to buy that watch and that worth this amount of money, instead of blame Breitling for this SHIT.This is a way of how a high end and famous brand will destroyed by itself.

This watch is beautiful & purpose designed to a fault. You’re going to get the clowns that squawk about a quartz watch for $3,300. Go see one of these in person & then pretend to have that same opinion. There is nothing wrong with quartz whatsoever and the majority of watch collectors/enthusiasts own BOTH mechanical (auto or winding) & quartz pieces. I’m getting the Carolina Blue if I can ever find one. Sold out everywhere.
Clowns, dont spend £3k plus on a watch, only Clowns with money to burn for "one upmanship" buy this overpriced crap. I can think of plenty of things to spend £3k plus on and it wouldn,t be a breitling.
The yellow version kept popping up in online ads for me. I loved it. Tried it on in person and wasn't crazy over it. I couldn't justify spending $3300 on a battery operated watch. Went to a TJ Maxx across the street which had an automatic Invicta for $70 Got the Invicta and haven't thought about the Breitling since.
@@PeterVaughan-ve5czmust be double clown with a blue and orange one then. And they are incredibly good watches. Is any luxury watch worth the cost when it does the same as something that costs £10.
The price for this is a joke. I think these will miss value overtime. Nothing about their make demands the price tag. Just get a G-Shock or save your money for a good automatic.
As a first watch, no thanks. But if you already have a few decent "everyday" watches, this looks like a super fun over the top tool watch.
Its my first watch
@@freekiebullink4564How is it? Planning on getting one too, as a firet ”luxury” watch :)

This was actually my first watch as well. Started my collection with this and haven't looked back! Most recent purchase is the Omega NTTD.

@alexeysoloviev3857 I know what your saying it's a valid point but they're lovely watches though plus it's breitling not your typical quartz
@@brilliantminds4allcouldn't agree more! You can either afford it or you can't. Appreciate your perspective!
is this similar or copy of Pacific Diver from Luminox?
Also it's a pity that second hand does not line up with 12 marker.
What ever happened to the piano tune at the beginning? I miss it.
Ive tried this exact model and I liked it a lot
Got the green one today, I love it
What do you think of the carbon filled polycarbonate plastic?
@cloudstreets1396 I like it, I wear it everywhere, I only took it off once to get nee battery put in. Been diving with it and seems to hold up well.
A plastic watch with eta?!? quartz movement...for how much?
Watches.tv said $3k+......

Great looking watch. They still cannot get the second hand to line up with the markings. That's a deal breaker for me.
It is filmed from an angle Einstein , of course it doesn’t line up . If you look directly at it it lines up.. its a Breitling ffs .

Nice watch - I tried one on last night. Not cheap feeling whatsoever. Nice heft to it - similar to the older Sea Dweller I was wearing.
it looks like a $120 invicta

For $400 more I can get an Omega Seamaster 300 SMP
For 3k, the seconds hand should hit each marker and reset exactly to 12. This one doesnt
It is the camera angle
What's the lume like?
So it takes a battery? How long does it last
3-4 years
I bought a Colt and the battery last almost 8 years
You only buy a watch with a white rubber strap only if you like the strap to turn yellowish with grey stains in no time.
if you buy a cheapie silicon strap then 100% ... if its a decent FKM / vulcanised strap as is the case here, then its a different box of frogs entirely
Great review Ariel, thanks.
Breitling AR coatings are amazing. A few times curious friends have touched my Aerospace crystal because they didn't believe it was there.
I want the red version. Despite its water proof, I would not wear an expensive watch in a pool or shower. That's just me.
I just bought the light blue one:)
Will these hold value more or less if kept for a few years? Very interested in purchasing just hesitant on that basis!
Its Quartz! usually these are ice cold
Probably lose half its value.
I think the red and orange ones will bottom at about 2kish. Find a nice used one on eBay

Breitling with plastic case +quartz movement for 3500+ $ WTF Breitling just downgradet itself to SWATCH level.
I saw them in the shopping window yesterday, they look unbelievably plasticy
It isn't.
And the seconds do not even align with the numbers..
If I want a Quartz watch, I'd just get a Casio... That's no hate on Casio, either.
Tj C cant compare casio to this, this super quartz its spectacular.
@@ninomartini8081 Any premium range casio is much better, or the Oceanus range.
Casio solar watches are much cooler than this tbh and some are much more expensive now too !

Battery life?
3-4 years
Diabolical alignment of second hand to markers
My band says iron man. Anyone got a problem with that..
People you just throw money on expensive watches .... and this watch can also show time just like any other watch
Good luck, Breitling.
Thats what I was thinking
I may be being stupid here, but what do you mean?
Smart watch or this? Hmmmm
looks like an invicta, looks like nothing like the classic breitlings im used to seeing

Plastic🤣, it’s not plastic. It’s a carbon composite called breitlight. It’s very robust, strong and super light.
This must be the most expensive quartz watch ever made, nor worth it.
