In one of my most recent videos I got a request to make a video about laundry

brands

that a lot of

people

hate

and in this video that's exactly what we're going to do before we really get into it. I know there will be some disagreements here. so please leave comments below let's try to have a civil dialogue there and then if you've ever seen any of my videos before you'll know. I don't try to judge

people

. I follow the saying that the best look at you. what you can have is the one you wear on your wrist and if you enjoy it, you enjoy it, so that's more my motto, but we will look at this from the most objective point of view and the reasons behind why these

brands

are

hate

d by a lot of people and then I'll try to give my opinion when I see it appropriate, but let's get into this for our first two brands and I'll classify them together because I think they're very similar and how they're structured and what the opinions are on the brand movement and then Daniel Wellington, so both brands started in the last five years or so and absolutely exploded thanks to digital marketing and social media and when I'm looking at these

watch

es and I've shared my opinion on fashion

watch

es before.

I think a lot of them look great, but as far as value for money, you know, I think there are plenty of other places to look and that's speaking from an enthusiast's perspective. If you're someone who doesn't care about watches and only cares about something that looks good, I can see the intrigue with these things, but from an actual value standpoint, I think they're horrible, but I'll leave my opinion aside. because I said I would leave that aside. I think when it comes to why these brands are

hated

, it really has to do with how they market themselves for one, they are absolutely relentless.

More Interesting Facts About,

If you go on social media, these brands will attack you if you fit their target demographics, you will also be retargeted like crazy, so whoever visits your site, unless you clear your browser history, these things will be on everywhere in every display ad you visit on Google or anywhere else, they will follow you behind these ads. They are very, very good digital marketing companies and I think that's also led to their success, but I think the real friction happens in how they market, how relentless they are, but also what they say to promote themselves. You know, affordable luxury quality materials that disrupt the industry and eliminate the middleman.

These are things that are really stretching the truth if we're just trying to let you know how to be completely honest when talking about this quality of materials that brands like you know Movement or Daniel crave. The news is that we are actually looking at the numbers of how much money they are generating from revenue compared to profits, so if we look at a brand like Daniel Wellington, they generated two hundred and thirty million dollars in revenue and after all their expenses, meaning cost of goods sold, their net profit last year was one hundred and eleven point five million dollars compared to two hundred and thirty million in revenue, and when you look at that, you realize how much money they're actually making. .

I know not. have overhead costs relative to physical locations or rely solely on e-commerce sales which they say serves to show how much it actually takes to make one of their watches. I think these brands also manipulate and target people who may not be as informed about the watches and where the value of the watches lies and I think that's partly why these brands get so much criticism from viewers and the community if you are. interested in simply knowing how to look for watches, perhaps you have seen watches with movements before. I have made videos, list videos and just my opinions on these watches in the past.

If you are looking for a cool watch, I can link to some videos that might be helpful. You already know that there are better alternatives. There is someone who is looking for quality and value for money for a watch and for this next brand we have one that walks a very fine line or a lot of people like the brand and a lot of people hate it and I think there are reasons behind both, but the brand is in victim and before People you know get scared because I know there are many supporters of Invicta watches.

I'll extend an olive branch and say that as someone you know did a video on watches under $100, one of the watches I mentioned was the Invicta pro diver of the year. money, I think and that's what I want to emphasize about money. I don't think it's a bad watch. I'm looking for a dive watch under $100 that comes with a Seiko automatic movement and sapphire crystal water resistant to 200 meters. Good specs for the money you said, I think there are a lot of objective reasons why people don't like Invicta either and before we really get into that I think what's interesting and where we'll be a good basis for this conversation is looking at the history of Invictus background.

In reality, they started a long time ago in Switzerland, back in 1837, and began with the premise of wanting to bring more affordable Swiss watches to the market; However, in the 20th century the brand changed ownership and its once noble goal was left behind. a little bit and to talk about this let's look at this example, so on their site they have a sale on a watch called the Invicta angel model for $7.99 zero. The recommended retail price of this watch is seven hundred ninety-five dollars. a watch especially for what you are buying and to talk a little more about this, this watch features a VJ 2-0 movement, so it is a quartz movement and if you want to buy this movement as an individual Right now you can buy it for less of $8 and that is only for individual sale.

If you want to go ahead and buy it wholesale or in bulk, like a company like Invicta would, imagine how cheap they are getting these parts. And on top of that, everything expected from the watch is nothing extraordinary, to say the least, and when you look at the value for money, I think this raises some red flags. Also, I think a lot of people will question the designs. I won't talk about Invicta watches about their large size because I think that for some people that is an advantage, but I think it can be pointed out that they take many designs from other brands.

If you look at the professional diver comparing it to the Submariner it's clearly an homage to that Lodge and two other reasons I think they get a fair amount of hate is the MSRP of many of their products, the manufacturer's suggested retail price and then also the Swiss brand, so one goes to Switzerland. brand to start with and sure they have roots in Switzerland but nowadays they are not building most of their parts in Switzerland but they still get by marketing Swiss made products with some scenarios so I think it's a bit. incomplete and why people might not like them and also when you look at the MSRP prices a lot of their watches are on viktor pro diver you see you can get them on Amazon gray market for around $80. an MSRP price of $900 and what Invicta does and if you go to places like QVC or on TV you will see Invicta all the time and what they want to do and how they sell is that they will have these high MSRP prices and automatically, as soon as they come out to the market. market, they will cut them like crazy, so it seems like you are getting a good deal on watches, so I think all that is considered is why Invicta gets so much hate.

I know this will be like this. where people are going to be a little more adamant in terms of having an alternative opinion, but the comments below tried to be as objective as possible here and evaluate why I think Invicta gets a fair amount of hate in the community and why our latest brand, it's not a mention that comes with just pointing out where the brand is currently, but where it once was and the brand I'm talking about is Movado. Movado was founded in the late 19th century in Switzerland and honestly, they made some well-produced ones. and imho great looking watches like the triple calendar one owned by FDR and if you haven't seen my video on US presidents watches I will link to that video below they are also 90M and 95m. caliber coronagraphs in their later Roth, however, have just been reduced to a cheaper fashion brand with cheap quartz movements and materials with starting prices of around 300 to 400 dollars and only continue to go up from there, take this as an example , this is the Movado sapphire.

So the museum release design here and this watch is priced at almost $2,000 and what you get is a quartz movement, 30 meters of water resistance and the big selling point here is a sapphire crystal, but when If you look independently to buy a sapphire crystal and yes, there are different grades of sapphire, their thickness and different quality standards, one must ask themselves if this is really good value for money. I think all this considered is why I'm Avada doesn't get the respect it deserves. It once moved away from its roots in its logic, you know, Swiss made watches and you know, they really try to pride themselves on well-produced watches and now they move on to just producing fashion-oriented pieces for the mass market that some of them They look good, but when we're looking at the core of what you know drives the watches.

You know, a lot of people will just argue that they have no soul and to be honest, I'm not a fan of where the direction of the brand went and I think. That's part of the reason we're seeing a lot of hate towards them. Well guys, that's just my analysis of watch brands that I see get their fair share of hate. You can discuss whether you think it is justified or not. I would
