Gucci Original Watch

SmoothSecond

I was browsing some luxury watch collections and came across Gucci watches. I always knew about their fashion, but their watches look pretty impressive! For those who have a Gucci original watch (not the fashion quartz but their automatic or high-end pieces), how is the quality and build compared to more “serious” watch brands like Longines or TAG Heuer? Are they really just fashion statements, or do any of their timepieces hold up in the watch world? Would love to hear from owners or anyone who’s had hands-on experience.

I’ve actually tried on the Gucci 25H automatic, and was really surprised by the finishing-it’s way slimmer and more refined than I expected from a fashion brand. The movement inside is a Sellita, which you’ll also see in some entry-level TAGs, so nothing wild, but it’s solid. Still, Gucci’s focus is definitely more on design and aesthetics than serious horology. If you want standout looks and decent quality, they’re great, but for heritage and watchmaking cred, Longines or TAG are still a step above.

Adding to what’s been said, one thing to keep in mind is resale and collectibility-Gucci watches generally don’t hold value like Longines or TAG Heuer. They’re solid if you’re after bold design and brand clout, but watch enthusiasts might overlook them since the focus is less on movement innovation or heritage. That said, if you’re drawn to a specific Gucci piece and love the style, it can still be a fun and reliable choice for everyday wear. Anyone here actually owned a Gucci automatic for a few years? Curious how they age!
