Just when you think Tag Heuer is doing okay…they fck up!
Yup. They were doing so good with the new glassbox Carreras. If they had made the new F1s under $1000 and no Kith cobranding, I would find the release cooler.
Yup. No Tag for me
Had they priced it under 800 or 700usd it would have been a smart decision, but over 1500 for a plastic quartz is insane.
You can’t take the tag out of the heuer lol.
@Narrowcros that's because you are broke, not for you.
The Kith of Death !
"tag" line of the day
Sounds like Mike Tyson😂😂
LOL
It really doesn't help that KITH sounds like "kid" and the watch looks like THAT.
I think they got confused and meant to release it April 1 not May 1
Lmfao!!!!
That Kith X Tag watch looks like something I'd turn down with a Kids' Meal at McDonald's. 'Can I get a coloring book instead?'
They should have gone all in and packaged the watch in a box of cereal or a greasy bag of fries.
Glad to see a watch youtuber that still has integrity.
Thanks Fed. I appreciate your honest opinions. Is it only me? Are most YT personalities these days appearing less than credible and a bit disingenuous - pushing and promoting brands and watches that 99% of non-industry watch collectors think are ridiculously ugly or overpriced. I recognize we all have opinions… but it seems odd that folks who financially benefit from liking a watch turn out to like the watch. Those who actually have to buy it… don’t. 🤔 Thanks Fed for being a beacon of reason.
Well said my friend ✊
@@Thomas_Burnett Glad to see I’m not completely alone. 😁
@@PocketWatchTimeYou’re certainly not alone. I watched a couple of particularly egregious examples this week, where I found myself wondering how the person ‘reviewing’ could keep a straight face or level tone of voice whilst talking up the pile of 💩 watch they were describing.
@@mercuriall2810 😢
"...this entirely overpriced piece of retro sh*t..."😂😂😂😂😂
Tag is using the best Swiss trick (copy paste) out of Swatch strategy book. Definitely a fail release in my books.
who is KITH…. tells you how much I know or care
I don’t know what a kith is, nor do I want to 😂
When Mike Tyson gives his wife a kith.
Spot on Fed. The only You Tuber to call it like it is. Thanks for your honesty and real world watch reviews!
Have no doubt Federico is brilliant.
Been thinking about the Kith/TAG and if this new version duplicates the feel of the original case (which I liked very much) and with a seemingly nicer strap if it has a better quartz movement (better crystal). Numbers produced / the way the case is manufactured ( takes dedicated molds or simple stamping and spraying I just don't know ). When I think that a JLC 34mm MUT in stainless used (my ideal piece) is really not that distant in price makes me apprehensive - but when the JLC and KithTAG and a cheap Casio G-Shock is my ideal collection then this new TAG has some swagger and distresses :( me to call it a piece of nastiness.
I thought the Kith Tags were pretty cool until I saw the tiny size and huge price tag. I don't know what Tag is doing, other than trying to one up Swatch with an even worse piece of crap than the Moonswatch. Look if you really want an overpriced plastic watch, get a Hublot service watch. At least they are unique in a way, even if they're total garbage.
I always love how Fred says how it is👍
Precisely why Tag Heuer will always be best known as a fashion or mall watch.
The Tag/Kith collaboration falls perfectly in line with streetwear culture. Overpriced, overhyped, and discarded once the new thing comes along. It’s sad cause I think if Tag rereleased these (as non limited) on their own for half the price they would have received a lot of praise from true fans of the originals.
A good time to buy a watch is around graduation time. Jewelry stores often have storewide discounts to attract graduation gift sales, in the form of jewelry. However, the discounts also apply to their watches. Sometimes up to 30% off retail
unfortunately not a thing in Germany... but the rule "avoid Christmas shopping" applies here
That price for the Kith is CRAZY! My first "real" watch was a Tag Link Calibre 6 I got in 2018. Brand new, I walked out with it for $1,600. It's still a beautiful watch and a very comfortable bracelet. If I paid that for the Kith F1 I'd be depressed.
No watches sales on Black Friday?
$1500 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
H. Moser is phenomenally!
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 Pieces They Looks Awesome👏🏻😎🤩But I Wish They Were Automatic Or Solar.
I think the Kith Tags are steel with a coating. Still over priced though
Tag wanted to do a MoonSwatch
Thats really how its coming off
I was curious what your take would be Federico. Its too bad. TAG has been building a lot of brand equity in recent years with solid releaes like the skipper and and the glassbox chronograph, and then they do this. Im all for watch brands celebrating their past and not taking themselves so seriously but the prices of these seem predatory. All the goodwill TH has built w thr enthusiast community is being shat out the other end with the trendy / casual crowd cash grab
Love them but not at that price!!
Looks more like a swatch.
I thought KITH was Kids in the Hall comedy troupe. but I guess not. LOLOLOL
I could see a Supreme Omega collab coming.
These look like flik flak watches 😂
Wow someone talking about Eterna now. Thanks Federico, it’s my favourite brand of all time that nobody speaks about. Unfair but true for this sleeping juggernaut!Only if it rose from it’s slumber to show the world what a giant it was and what innovation it is still capable of! Sometimes it feels like a conspiracy to destroy that brand and it’s legacy!
Ginger asks Fed if there is a best time to buy watches at 6:15. Fed gave an honest answer. But what Fed meant to say is “at Delray Watch, every day is a great day to buy a watch from me!”
hahahaha ... yes, somehow all watches are announced as "cheapest in the country". If that's true, then the claim is fair.
Hey Fed. I've just dropped what I consider to be a lot of money on an IWC spitfire. By far the most I've spent. I have a Sinn U1 and a GS GMT. While I've stretched myself for what is a grail for me..... I wouldn't touch a Kith Tag. Just not worth it for me
Completely agree on the tag watch. I think at $750 it would be okay but it’s way overpriced and I don’t like having Kith on the watch at all
2 of my 3 Rolex I got offered in late December. I wonder if there is a reason for this
Don’t hold back Federico 😂
can see who the real watch journalists are with their thoughts on this kith nonsense
Great video!
I to disagree with the Kith release thoughts though.
First, it’s not for me. If I want that style, I’d go get an original vintage one. Having said that, the cases are in fact PVD’d steel this time around but more importantly, and why I’m disagreeing, is that I’ve worked for a Tag Heuer A.D. for over 6 years now & let me just say I can’t tell you how many Tag buyers have great memories owning or wanting one of the original plastic Formula 1s & just how many have said “man, those bring back memories. If they made them today, I’d totally buy a new one”. Only time will tell but I think they will actually be a hit. Even if they are a $1500 retro Quartz oddity. 👍
My thoughts were exactly
Many watch brands nowadays are as we say in Scotland are 'taking the piss'. Stretching prices with little design od technical development. I say just don't buy them retail. Leave them sitting on the shelf until the 'piss takers' get the message. There is a very attractive market out there on ' preloved' watches with prices still tumbling. Go for the watches you have always wanted and leave the overpriced new releases on the shelf. This Kith Heuer is typical, but there will be people with more money than sense who buy them for pocket money. Sad. Mind you, would I want to be seen walking down the pits at an F1 event wearing this !!!!! Desk Drivers only...........
I second this. Just snatched a mint black dial 16570 last month as I saw the price was the best its been in a few years. Used and neo vintage is where it’s at right now.
Aren't all watches above 1000 usd just a pissing contest?
A Richard mille is a high piss though 😂.
To each his own piss....😂
@@Mega-zi7ys yes , I'm at the ripe old age where I 'piss' all the time, I have to get rid of my money somehow......
@@GrumblingForesight beautiful watch, a classic, enjoy.
@@soundssimple1 thank you, feels good not to be taking those company’s piss for once haha 😄
Honestly, if it was sub $500, people would be fine with it. That's impulse bug teirritorty for a lot of people in this hobby. $1500 I'd laughable, even with omega or Rolex on the dial
LVMH f*cked around and found out.
KITH, i thought you said KISS ,looking at the watch,didnt get it,then read title,do love the Moser's though.
Federico, I love watching your videos. You are passionate about watches for sure. But I disagree with you about this collaboration in watches. Those collaborations may not fancy those in the luxury watch market who value fine quality. But remember there are Swatch watch collectors that love the plastic colorful personalization of watches. This collaboration falls into that camp. I would buy one because I do like the swatch look but it’s not a swatch
The tags are not plastic, I thought they are steel with PVD coating?
Cool Reverso
fk everything lvmh owns...
Don’t hold back Fed…😛😛😛😛
Tag just phoned it in with the crap Kith. Geesh that is horrible. There was a reason they discontinued it when it came out the first time. 🤦♂️
Yes
Let’s do a moonswatch kinda thing
Sell loads of watches
Oh dear
Chee Fed, how do you really feel about the K x Tag?
Don't hold back Fred....Love it... Respect you are brave enough to voice the courage of your convictions Well said sir..
I think TAG Heuer did see the enormous success that Swatch is having with the Swatch X Omega and Swatch X Blancpain collaborations. Hence, they tried to replicate this with this TAG x KITH thing. No fault doing this, but for $1,500? No way. And by the way, this Formula 1 looks like a clone of the early Scuba 200 Swatch.
tend to agree 100%
Absolutely ridiculous price for what look like a cheap kids toy watch from Fisher-Price. I am getting Luminox vibes here!
the Luminox would be the better watch and value
The Kith watch reminded me of a Swatch watch.
Fisher price produced quality. You can actually see mold-lines on those poor quality F1. Terrible collab. Someone must've been high as a kite at tag... Sorry... Kith heuer.
Good points all round 💪🏻
Where on earth did they get that price from 😂
Outta love TAG Horror
Just what we need, more of the “hype” culture crossing over into watches. 🤦♂️
Who can decode Fed's poker face when comes to his impressions of the KITH-TAG collab?
Just tell us how you REALLY FEEL about it😅
Coming soon the RolTime...A Rolex Timex collab.
Even from a street style enjoying perspective, the Kith x Tag collabs are questionable. At that price, one could get a bunch of resin G-Shocks and put together more outfits or a nicer MTG G-Shock with more functionality. At that price point, it's only going to appeal to people chasing brand recognition over style itself.
This collab was killer. TAG is gunning for Patek. Have yall heard TAG/Supreme are dropping next for 600k per watch?
TAG is hypebeast! Arent you jealous? Thank you TAG for bringing the ultimate heat. Only peasants ask for value for money.
A 1500 $ plastic watch. 😂
Street-wear hater here. Your opinions continue to be a blue beacon flame, lighting the way for fellow gentlemen.
Just when I thought the Moonswatch was trash, Tag says, "Hold my beer."
Moonswatch ain't trash... it's a nice fun watch and priced accordingly
@@Mega-zi7ys I appreciate your sarcasm.
@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 and I pity your insecurities
@@Mega-zi7ys cool story bro. Enjoy your plastic watch.
@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 yeah tell that to ed Sheeran who wears Richard Mille's and Moonswatch 😂. You're insecure 😂
The color contrast on the TAG are quite nice. I beg to Differ.
D.O.A.
Tag's priority is to make cash after all. If they think it's worth it ruining their brand's luxury reputation further by offering TikTok hype garbage, let them take the risk. It doesn't diminish the quality of their nicer watches. If us watch enthusiasts get really lucky, they might even use this cash grab to cross-finance an otherwise uneconomical horology project.
❤
This video is even more evidence that Fed is the GOAT. When others are selling out, Fed is still here telling the truth about Tag.
While I don’t like the new Tag, I think they will likely sell. I’m just not their target audience.
Tag can kith my ath if they think I’d even consider buying one.
Sad to see a knowledgeable person resort to crude clickbait titles.
A couple hundred dollar watch for over a grand. Offffff.
When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Should be £40 watch no more than that.
Tag is taking the mikky.
The U Watch?!
$1,500 for that fugly POS Tag? Looks like something that came in a cereal box 😮. There really is one born every minute.
I been hearing moser quality and customer service has gone downhill! Any thoughts on this or experiences? After Grand Seiko screwed me I am a lot more picky now with watch brands!
It sucks to admit, Fed's take on the F1 colab is correct. I love the tag formula 1, was my first nice watch. The moonswatch treatment wasn't the move here. A titanium reissue maybe?
Tag Heuer has been making some nice watches lately but they can’t seem to make the break from also making crap.
Seriously have none of you lot heard of Kith?
I work with guys in there 20’s my son is 21, and they are all hyped for this release
They sell $1,100 shirts. Only dumb ass kids and the ultra wealthy would care. And the ultra wealthy have options.
“Hello fellow kids”
Tell us what you really think about Tag's collab...LOL. It really is not a bad piece of streetwear at, oh, say, $99.
I wouldn’t even let my kid watch something that tacky when he goes on his play date
The new tag looks like it's made by Fischer-Price.
LOL it's not a real pile of garbage unless it's steaming! Love ya, Fed!
An embarrassing collab. I don't know what LVMH was thinking to allow TAG do this. I'm so glad I own a G-shock than a 1500 garbage like these TAG.
OmegaXSwatch: "we made overpriced, plastic quartz watches"
Tag/Kith: "hold my beer"
One could buy the original F1s for like $250 and below all day. Even though it's a design that was the complete opposite of Heuer at the time
This channels all about bashing brands and their releases.
Unfortunately Tag has shown they really are a “fashion watch” with this Kith watch. They were doing so well.
I find it amusing that they reissue a line that cheapend and tanked their brand. This is what made them lame.
I wonder if this was something that began during Bernard Arnault's son's tenure as CEO and the new guy (Julien) will right the ship. I'm not a fan of the TAG version of Heuer, but it would be nice to see such a once highly respected brand in Heuer rise above being reduced to what TAG has done with it.
My perspective is that of a collector though. Business perspective, they are doing better than they likely would be if only catering to horological purists.
Exactly my thoughts. Tag needs the world to forget this dark era. They rolled the dice and lost. Just like their 1850 dollars smartwatch (now 400 dollars off) that was pushing NFTs, remember that? One failure to another.
@@stevens1041 I agree 👍 the transitional period for Tag Heuer was my favorite. When they were basically Heuer's with Tag Heuer dials but these F1s should be forgotten
No quartz watch is worth more than $1k.
you are my favorit jew❤️
How can a dude who looks like that be such a snob? Wonders never cease.
Dude who looks like what? Federico? Fed knows his shit and is a straight shooter ad is admired and respected for it. Sorry he doesnt fit into your mold of what a snob should look like
Its the opposite of snobbery to point out a 1500 dollar scam.
Its fitting for the clown world we exist in with people wearing pajamas and crocs in the public. Lets not forget what the national shoe was in Idiocracy..
Man are some of you people out of touch. Kith is a fantastic brand
I agree - seems to be a lot of "hey you kids, get off my lawn"
People should stop taking a dump on attempts to save the Swiss analog watch industry. Gen Z have grown up using only digital watches and now they're the dead broke generation while the Swiss geniuses are tripling the ask for their most unremarkable movements. I was able to score my frist Rolex Sub for what was about six weeks salary for college graduate. My Speedmaster was about two weeks salary. Now these watches cost more than your two livers and left lung. Keep this up and this will become an old man's hobby. That's why the lines for the MoonSwatch had six hour lines all over the globe. It was the only Speedmaster Gen Z could afford. I can't believe how many people failed to realize this.
“Dead broke”, and “1500 dollars MSRP”. Maybe you didn’t see the price before you wrote the comment.
@stevens1041 lol. It's Tag Heuer. They don't sell any analog watch for less than $1500. That's less than one pay check for a college graduate in 2024. I agree it's outrageous for a $20 quartz movement. But even their smart watches are $1400.
