Bruce, you've always had the best wrist and outdoor lighting shots from all different angles and zoomed out a bit for perspective. I love this watch. I got a 38mm black dial at a great deal about 3 months ago. The Classic Fusion has always been the Hublot that stuck out for me and I have no problem with the brand----(plenty of rappers and sports people diamond out their AP's and PP's yet people still flock to them as if those brands can't do any wrong)---I intended to try a Classic Fusion someday but when the chance came up I said what the heck and was totally blown away by the light play and comfort of it. It's light and stays perfectly centered on my wrist at all times but can still move around. For being such a clean, crisp and reserved dial the whole watch just pops in all sorts of lighting conditions. The detailing is great too. Crisp, sharp edges on some of the polishing, curved, flowing case sides, unique material and the contrast between the brushed bezel and clasp with the polished screws just has so much visual interest. Even on the clasp there are polished edges on the brushed pieces with brushings of different directions and grit on it. I used to be into the movements but after 10 yrs of collecting really all the movements do the same thing and sort of look the same after a while so I actually prefer ETA or Sellita movements now. The last negative for me is the water resistance is only 50m. Yes I know that is fine for swimming so I would probably not have a problem with it but it seems this would be a great all around sports watch if it hit that psychological sport watch 100m mark for that extra piece of mind. Used prices are also realistic. Sorry to ramble, those were my thoughts on the watch and it's funny that it needs to be defended just because of the brand name even though it stands on its own merits to me. I hope this makes it to Random Rob as well so we get to see this awesome watch again. Thanks for reading this comment (if you do) and again, you're one of my favorite channels as just a lover of all types of watches and you help us experience them with the great work you do on the channel.
How much did you get that 38 mm one for? I’d love to get one as I have a smaller wrist, but prices are hovering around 4,500 -5,000 right now even for the smaller sized ones like the 38.
I think this watch is drop-dead gorgeous. There's unfortunately way too much snobbery in this hobby (as evidenced by numerous comments in this and and the unboxing videos) to allow people to evaluate this properly. Put a JLC or AP logo on this watch and people would be fawning over it. Oh well, their loss. Thanks for bringing us something really different, Bruce.
It’s handsome. They don’t really make watches for enthusiasts so in house is largely inconsequential. Probably 95 percent of buyers prefer the ease of ownership of the selita which of course is absolutely fine ..
Watching this for the second time - five months later. Have a totally different perspective now because my wife is interested in a Hublot and of course there’s no video of the watch she’s eyeing. Trust your always well-rounded reviews whether I agree or not. You do good job of presenting the watch and we can make up our own mind - if that makes sense. Don’t care that Hublot’s are not in-house. My next watch will be. Zenith and maybe the watch after that too, but there is something to be said for spending your money on one more watch and not on servicing the ones you already have. Anyway, always appreciate watch videos that focus on a “different” brand.
Fantastic review Bruce. I had no idea Hublot made such a conservatively designed watch. Your video work really breings out the beauty of the dial, hands and indices. Thank you for another fantastic video :)
I’m looking at the 38mm in white dial. Looks awesome. I think the 38-40mm hits the spot for me. I’d go 38mm since it is a very simple dial and it has long lugs.
Sweet review. The hate comes from the fact that it is derivative, by design, as told by JC Biver himself, of the Nautilus but takes certain shortcuts on refinement and often has flashy looks. It’s not as intangible as the original but hey, it made Biver rich so good for him and if someone loves it then at least it won’t cost a fortune to indulge.
The watch is gorgeous with a dial and indices that rivals Grand Seiko. The fusion of design elements, including the industrial movement, and materials more than justifies the price.
@Tom The Fish In house should be the way to go at this price point. If someone can afford this Hublot, then they can afford more expensive servicing and couldn't care less about have a sellita just because it's cheaper to maintain.
I think this watch is a very cool offering! An alternative to the much more expensive holy trinity of steel sports watches. Having said that, definitely the 42mm imho. Great, unbiased review as usual BW!
Like many watching this review Hubolt is a brand that has gotten lost due to the reasons that you have stated i.e. blingy, big, and in many cases just over the top. Glad you were able to share with us the many fine points that the Fusion has to offer. This watch definitely could compete with a datejust 41 and many other higher end watches in a one watch collection.
The hate on Hublot is pretty silly, they might not make the best mechanically watches ever, but their designs are attractive and they’re respected by fellow consumers
Nice watch, but at this price point an In House caliber is mandatory. Nothing wrong with Sellita, but lets talk about the half price then. Good review as always Bruce :)
We have a pre owned Black Dial Classic Fusion 45mm available. They are vary nice. I would recommend buying pre owned if you want save on the premium. there extremely nice. We have one for $4000 USD. Good condition.
It’s true that a lot of soccer players and coaches own Hublot, Jose Mourinho owns several. Btw this Fusion looks very exquisite. The only problem I have with Hublot is that most of their watches aren’t small enough for my small wrist.oh well
@@JJ17PlaysFM in Italian it’s called calcio, in Arabic Korat-Al-Qadam, and in American English it’s soccer. But for dumb a** like you hatred comes before knowledge
I have a Rolex Oyster Perpetual - Beautiful watch - awful timekeeper. I am also fortunate enough to have a Hublot 42mm Classic fusion with the dreaded ‘Sellita SW300’ movement which surprisingly hasn’t missed a beat. Both were reasonably priced pre-loved entry level watches, both which I love to wear but man the Hublot does what it is supposed to do - look awesome and tell the time accurately. Don’t be put off by the movement - if you love the style of this watch then go for a sensibly priced pre-owned - you won’t be disappointed - Just my opinion - Not trying to preach.
Not sure what's wrong with your OP, but my OP39 never missed a beat. Not to forget the Hublot is 2K more expensive and you only get 5ATM instead of 10ATM. (but you get a date)
7500 for a hublot with that movement 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Finish does look lovely aside from the composite piece between case and bezel. But seriously you can get some lovely watches at that price point so certainly wouldn’t be in my top 5 list.
thing is, hublot is not the only brand that does this. the go to brands for the snobs has done something like this. even with IWC. It's not the end of the world to use a selita.
The watch is so beautiful, I've one suggestions if the screw on bezel is aligned with indices i mean in symmetrical position with indices or with eatch other screw to form a more beautiful to look
Great looking watch but 45mm is too large for a non-dive watch. 42mm would be perfect and definitely needs an in house movement or at least all the parts should be disassembled and reassembled with custom decoration (like what IWC does with their ETA 7750 based chronos). The bridges could use some decoration like perlage or stripes.
I don’t see how the price is justified without a bracelet and a third party movement. You can see a lot of shared LVMH DNA between this and the Zenith Defy Classic. The difference is that for roughly the same price, the Zenith has a full Ti bracelet and an in house movement. If this was 4k or less MSRP, it would make more sense.
Maybe I am a misguided soul here but i just can not get over the styling, you can take the hublot name off of the dial and put invicta on it and it would be just as Believable. The great part about this hobby is not every watch is for every person different strokes for different folks.
Wyoming yeti I think it looks better than anything omega, breitling etc make. Build quality/materials is bettter too. But it needs to be the chrono, this one is too bare. I guess people are right about the movement, but personally i couldnt care less as i think of all movements as obsolete anyway. Invicta, nah.
Fredrik Svärd To me it almost looks like they wanted to make a homage to an AP royal oak with its fasteners going through the bezel like that. The only thing missing is the Octagonal bezel and the straight slot screws instead of the special screws H uses. Before i knew who hublot was my buddy put two in my hands and asked me what I thought and i could honestly not guess what price range they live in, he said rolex money I said no thanks. Its just not to my taste, a royal oak is not even a aspiration for me so this is a pass.
I quite like it but in 42mm it would be be nicer/that's £6400 gb pounds though..........a lot of money/ more than an oyster perpetual or an omega aqua terra.some comments on screws not aligning/pretty sure cartier Santos screws don't align either
I agree looks awesome classic fusion is the true evolution of modern form and function. I'm selling a titanium one with black dial box n papers if anyone is interested
@@MrCliteatswood What I particularly like is the fact it's light weight, modern with patented materials, as Bruce mentioned the colors really pop in light, aesthetically i'd describe it a formal classy watch that could be a daily too. i'm only selling my 42mm because I ended up like the 45mm! for my seiko and orient i'm a 38-40mm but it seems the thins of the ultra thin 9.5mm case really makes the 45mm meld around your wrist like it really belongs there. & I have Smedium wrists. cheers
A ridiculously handsome watch. The exterior work and styling is incredible. It seems to be what alot of the cost has gone into. Knowing that the watch is powered by the Selitta SW300 movement though, makes paying £6,400 for this watch a hard move. I can't imagine this watch cost too much to put together, but you are paying for the brand name too. If this watch were half the price, I'd jump on it immediately.
Don't believe that b's he said about just pop it into any watch service The screws they use on the back are a weird design so only Hublot can service it also it would make your warranty invalid,
I don't want a watch without minute markers either but to say you'd need to set the time to the nearest 5 minutes is a little bit daft. It's not that hard to know where the minutes would be on the dial or just set it when the time ends in a 0 or a 5.
Stigstigster I like my minute hand to land exactly on the line when the seconds hands hits 12 o’clock, so personally I wouldn’t want to guesstimate. You can sure but it isn’t daft to want to be precise.
@@tikibob3339 I'm totally with you on that one and always set my watches that way. Having no minute markers would be a deal breaker for me too. I purely meant the comment about setting it to to the nearest 5 minutes as you can certainly set it more precisely than that.
Hi Bruce, I love your videos and channel. But in this instance, I really can’t agree with the praise you give this Hublot Classic Fusion. Whilst it’s a good looking piece, it’s a Brand entry level three handed, date only complication 50M water resistant (splash proof at best) watch that houses a basic undecorated off the shelf Sellita movement that costs $7700... The price just cannot be justified? Any lesser brand watch using the same caliber movement and specs would be circa $500 realistically. For me? No thanks! It’s just way too expensive. And at 45mm, it’s too big also IMHO although they are available in 42 and 38mm which is a positive. I think this watch misses the mark completely in value for money terms but thanks for sharing it with us nevertheless.
I could have bought this watch from bijoux Montego Bay airport for £4500 Sterling last year, saving myself nearly £2000: it was a no brainier, I could kick myself watching this video
At that price level I see where you are coming from. Sellita makes a good quality and reliable movement and are a great alternative to the ETA movements many brands cannot now reasonably access. I have the Sellita SW500 in my Sinn 356 and it runs like a champ, running within basic COSC specs but that's a €1200 watch. The Hublot coming in at six times the price is not right for having a Sellita no matter how reliable, accurate and easy to work on they might be.
The Sellita movements are far from horrible. What is horrible is the price of this Hublot with one inside. I recall Sellita had problems with some of their SW200 movements a few years ago but they are making a decent and good quality range of movements the last few years now. I have the SW500 in my Sinn 356 and it's been very reliable and accurate. The difference is the Sinn is a €1200 watch and the Hublot is about 6 times the price which is ridiculous but as I said, Sellita movements are not horrible at all.
Maybe I'm alone in this (although I doubt I am) but I just can't take how the H screws are completely misaligned. Ruins a pretty decent looking watch for me.
I'm not a fan of this Hublot but the "misaligned" screws do not bother me one bit. You'd hate the Cartier Santos too but I think that is a beautiful watch and the screws give it such a nice machine/mechanical look and I love it.
They aren't supposed to be aligned mate. It's done on purpose 🙂 Hublot try to recreate the "porthole" style and they use real screws unlike other brands like AP royal Oak who use sunken bolts. So the whole misaligned screws aren't really misaligned at all . It's on purpose. A lot of people for some reason think they're supposed to be aligned .. I'm not sure why. Probably because AP has them following the bezel ?

Hi Bruce, I love your videos and channel. But in this instance, I really can’t agree with the praise you give this Hublot Classic Fusion. Whilst it’s a good looking piece, it’s a Brand entry level three handed, date only complication 50M water resistant (splash proof at best) watch that houses a basic undecorated off the shelf Sellita movement that costs $7700... The price just cannot be justified? Any lesser brand watch using the same caliber movement and specs would be circa $500 realistically.
For me? No thanks! It’s just way too expensive. And at 45mm, it’s too big also IMHO although they are available in 42 and 38mm which is a positive.
I think this watch misses the mark completely in value for money terms but thanks for sharing it with us nevertheless.
Everyone has their own opinions, no worries Steve!
a nice watch but only a cheap ETA installed and no lume.
Can you do a review abot Junghans's watches, especially their Form series. I never seen saw you review this brand before. Thx and sorry for my English
Overvalue soccer player brand. Agree. End of the video.
I could have bought this watch from bijoux Montego Bay airport for £4500 Sterling last year, saving myself nearly £2000: it was a no brainier, I could kick myself watching this video
Wow that's a real bargain for this watch. It goes for around 3500 to 4000 in the used market
Sexy Ass Watch. Simple and Cool... Hublot Classic Fusion!
Who on earth would buy this over a Zenith Defy?
Get the G-Shock G-Steel as the cheaper alternative.
Been there done that
Jean claude biver saved Hublot for sure
Not a bad choice but so many better ones for that price point. Zenith el Primero for example..
Totally different watch, why only one?
I'm confused. Is it automatic and manual winding?
yes
I heard Sellita and spat coffee all over my screen
At that price level I see where you are coming from. Sellita makes a good quality and reliable movement and are a great alternative to the ETA movements many brands cannot now reasonably access. I have the Sellita SW500 in my Sinn 356 and it runs like a champ, running within basic COSC specs but that's a €1200 watch. The Hublot coming in at six times the price is not right for having a Sellita no matter how reliable, accurate and easy to work on they might be.
You can either buy this watch with a horrible movement or you can buy zenith defy 21 used for around 6000$
The Sellita movements are far from horrible. What is horrible is the price of this Hublot with one inside. I recall Sellita had problems with some of their SW200 movements a few years ago but they are making a decent and good quality range of movements the last few years now. I have the SW500 in my Sinn 356 and it's been very reliable and accurate. The difference is the Sinn is a €1200 watch and the Hublot is about 6 times the price which is ridiculous but as I said, Sellita movements are not horrible at all.
Stigstigster i see and yea i agree this watch is way over priced

Only now ppl are diggin hublot, ?l've always loved them
Lotta money for a sellita tho,
Maybe I'm alone in this (although I doubt I am) but I just can't take how the H screws are completely misaligned. Ruins a pretty decent looking watch for me.
That is something that doesn't phase me. Even AP knows lining up screws is near impossible and uses a false top
I'm not a fan of this Hublot but the "misaligned" screws do not bother me one bit. You'd hate the Cartier Santos too but I think that is a beautiful watch and the screws give it such a nice machine/mechanical look and I love it.
For $8K the screws should all be lined up concentric to the dial.
They aren't supposed to be aligned mate. It's done on purpose 🙂 Hublot try to recreate the "porthole" style and they use real screws unlike other brands like AP royal Oak who use sunken bolts. So the whole misaligned screws aren't really misaligned at all . It's on purpose. A lot of people for some reason think they're supposed to be aligned .. I'm not sure why. Probably because AP has them following the bezel ?
