- Hey guys, my name's Troy, I'm bald and I collect watches, so lets see what I found on my watch collecting journey, a swiss heritage brand automatic for under £100.
But how good is this Festina?
Under the Festina group of brands and under Spanish ownership can this watch live off of its Swiss roots or is it a simple cash "n" grab?
Guys if you like the look of this its available from multiple online retailers but I managed to get this amazing price on Amazon, here is a link for the watch, maybe worth keeping an eye on the price to see if it retails for what I got it for.

Thanks for viewing today's video, make sure you stay tuned for a full review after some time wearing it, and as always guys, remember I'm and enthusiast and not expert, until next time.

I believe that Festina is very, very underrated watch brand, more valuable and levels above other brands, comparable in price. So if someone has similar feelings about that, I'm still looking for Festina watch friends. 🙂
I own this watch and am very pleased with it. This review minimises the quality of this watch. Its accurate to within 9 seconds a day and has a beat error of 0.1. Screw down crown, Sapphire glass and looks amazing.I wear it every day for emergency response work. It's reliable and comfortable and gets lots of compliments. A real gem.
Being a Tour De France fan, Festina is a brand I've always quite liked - they used to time the stages and sponsored a team.... until they all got caught taking drugs in the infamous "Festina Scandal" of 1998! This is a nice watch, thanks for bringing it to our attention and looks like a good bargain if can be found for under £100 again.
Hey Mattress I've heard about this drug scandal. I need to go into it on my full review, for the price it's fantastic. Worth keeping an eye out, but near £200 I'm not to sure.
Great minds - pretty much just wrote the same comment
Thank you for the warning.
I did think about getting one, but clearly I just need to pay the extra and get another Tissot.
I bought the Festina F20480 / 3 yesterday. Very nice watch. 150 grams. It looks very high quality. Thanks Festina :)
Great news, enjoy
Pretty good for price point. I like the textured center links on the bracelet. Love Batman bezel. Too bad not exhibition case back. Great unboxing Troy💪👊
I do like that batman vibe :)
Great video and thanks for making me aware of this brand! Keep up the great work my friend!
Quite a big brand here in the UK, I guess that is down to being a Spanish brand, it has great features, but some that let this watch down. Thanks for commenting :)
Not bad looking .A brand I'm seeing more of lately .Look forward to a full review
Well well! I just accidentally bought one of these (long story😅) yes that bracelet.......🙃 I'll be interested to see your full review.👍
It's not a bad watch to be fair, worth it's RRP I'm not so sure. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Many thanks. I looked everywhere and the hand winding possibility 8:00 isn't mentioned anywhere but in this video.
Bellissimo ❤
I used to like Festina although they're just your middle of the road brand. Not rock bottom, not high end/luxury. Just something you pick up as the mall for about $80 and ok for the daily drive.
Ho acquistato un Festina automatico veramente molto bello ,sono molto soddisfatto .Il prossimo che acquisterò sarà sicuramente ancora un Festina, grazie...
Very nice Troy I’d be quite happy with that 👍👍 correction I’d NOT be more than happy as I’ve just seen the price
Honestly Ted, it's worth scouring Amazon if this drops below £100. But anymore it's pushing it! Thanks for commenting.
@@thebaldwatchcollector oh I agree mate £99 it’s a very good bargain and a lot of watch for the price. You’re welcome, mate 👍👍
I really like the bracelet design of the center link...if it weren’t hollow!
Hey Witt, the bracelet is definitely a downside to this watch. Thank you for commenting
My festina is quite good for the price
@Franck DeLyon Normal diver watch, automatic, saphire, not omage, cannot be horrible at all. Maybe you like your copies/omages invictas so you forgot what a normal watch means...
Shame about the bezel but it’s a very good looking watch to be fair.
Overall it's an ok watch, would I pay over £200GBP Im not so sure, that is for watching
decent watches,in the day a classic airport duty free watch...I have a couple of quartz festinas I picked up in these over the years...the cycling scandal had nothing to do with the watch company btw it was the racing team that pulled that one.....
Great watch if picked up for the right price, thanks for watching 👍
You said there are better watches than this under £200 price mark, cna you recommend some?
Bought it today , since I had to give mine for revision and now can't find any kind of documentation about it, what does the bezel and how to do the fine adjustments. Didn't knew either that has as screwed hour/daytime Button
Hey there, thank you for watching, I hope this helps you out :) festina.com/en-GB/watch-manuals
@@thebaldwatchcollector checked it already and couldn't found anything about it
I can try and help, what is the problem with the bezel?
When I see the name festina I just think “the festina affair” which was a big doping scandal in cycling 🚴♀️
I'm going to have to look into this for the review. Seems to be quite a common association. Thanks for watching 👍
It's strange to me that there is people thinking, that the watchmakers in such a big and great company are responsible in some way for someone's stupidity in the marketing department at that time, but if you prefer such point of view, you'll never know and feel the pleasure and the joy of owning such a valuable watch. Don't do this mistake its not worth it. 😉
Man that bezel sounds like it has a plastic spring
The bezel literally had me wincing behind the camera!!!!
@@thebaldwatchcollector lol I’m sure, that alone would kill the watch for me but I’m a bit of a bezel natzi.
@@whiteglovewatches9908 I totally get that, if that's your thing 👍
First 😊
Thank you mate 🙏
Festina⌚️😁
a horrible piece of...
😂😂😂😂 thanks for watching
