      It’s a “smart band” or “clasp” that Sony made. I’m not sure if they still make it but it is not an original part of that Citizen watch. You can pair it with almost any watch, I guess the idea was to be able to wear a traditional watch and have a smart watch on the same wrist.

    3:42 my ears popped when he said he was wearing a Vacheron Constantin only to find out he wore the Frédérique Constant. These are 2 different watch companies. VC can cost from $15k to half a million. FC you can buy one for 1k.

    • @TheJapaneseFactory
      @TheJapaneseFactory  11 днів тому +5

      I think this one was a bit of a miscommunication, I asked him if he was wearing a Vacheron Constantin since that model looks kind of close, and name is simpler, I think I confused him.
      Hope we can see a VC on the channel soon - Chris.

      I think it can depend on the wearer. If they come off as that and or are snobby then yes the watch can reflect the wearer. But what if it was someone who worked hard for years and saved up to buy themselves one? Now the watch doesn't seem so much elitist as it does a hard earned reward for a hardworking person ya know?

      @ fair point and you’re right, there’s another layer for analysis. In saying what I did, it was from the view of the watch brand itself how it is niche, selective and non-accessible to watch lovers. It’s my understanding with the Rolex experience, it is only for paying clients now. Thanks for your reply.
