You get a brand new G-Timeless Sport, and when you open the box you pull the timepiece out of a pool of Gucci Sport fragrance. If not, then maybe it should be and could be part of the packaging. I am pretty sure “Gucci Sport” is also a perfume collection. It does actually work in the end though the hands are too short – but not so short as to kill the design. The G-Timeless Sport watch dials look like a collaboration between a traditional Rolex Submariner and a Gucci handbag. Plus, according to Gucci the colored hour markers and hands are done in colored SuperLumiNova. As a diver style piece it does have a rotating timing bezel and easy to read dial, as well as an AR coated sapphire crystal. The case is in steel being 44m wide, and there is a PVD black version as well. That is just enough for the “Sport” part of the name to apply. The G-Timeless Sport is a dive style watch with 100 meters of water resistance. Is it just me or do these pieces beg to be worn with a colorful polo shirt that has a pulled up collar? Once again I find myself interested in the collection. For most people that is a deal breaker, but then again, those people aren’t people who buy “fashion watches.” I actually first wrote about the Gucci G-Timeless collection here a while ago before some of these new styles came out.

This G-Timeless Sport is analog, but contains a Swiss ETA quartz movement. It was released right about when it was really trendy to place “i” in front of almost every word. For men they have had an interesting and slightly avant garde collection of watches over the years.Ī few years ago they came out with their pretty cool high-end digital watch collection called the I-Gucci that I will review hands-on soon. For the most part I think of their attractive quartz watches for the ladies. Though they do have some which have that “G” as the bezel.

Off the top of my head I can’t even think of a mechanical Gucci watch. First of all, they don’t make complicated watches. Gucci is watch maker I don’t really discuss all that often. As much as I joke about it, I still do quite like this timepiece as a fashion watch. Oh, you have got to love the Italians (and their flag). This dive-style watch looks to be squarely set in circa 1995 with its bold primary colors. Shouldn’t the name of this watch be the Gucci “G-Time” versus “G-Timeless?” I mean of course I get what “timeless” means, but is that really a term you want as the name of a product that should not be “less time?” Perhaps I am thinking about it too much, but I really do feel that this little “minor” detail does matter when it comes to subconscious consumer perceptions about products.
