whoa, amazing discovery OP

>>72316521
I don't care, I will still buy!

Cool gonna buy the $3 mechanism and build my own Gura watch.

>>72316521
Most merch costs a small fraction of its sale price to actually produce

>>72316521
>almost as if the individual brands didn’t knock up the price value and brands haven’t been doing this for decades…
Actual retard.
I’m buying to flex on poorbuds. Just say you’re broke and move on instead of reporting on nothing burgers.

>>72316521
Good to know you can repair it for such a low cost, cause replacing it would be a bitch thanks to scalpers

>>72316802

Based, that means more money is going to my wife.

Was gura okay with shilling this to her chumbuds?

This unironically, this is a good thing. If it breaks in the future can be easily repaired

Thinking about it as a watch, I think it's a missed opportunity not making it a diver-style watch. It would fit the nautical theme and Gura's color scheme already fits.

>>72316521

Try harder next time sister.

So if I buy that $3 part it will magical turn into the watch? Glad to see the sisters are delulu as usual.

What's with all these posts about that gura merch? Is this some ndf/sisters posts?

that's just fashion in general, you're paying for the label not the quality
i'm not really sure what the market for a vtuber watch is though. the only people still wearing watches in 2024 are either autists that will gladly settle for some $20 walmart shit or rich kids/wannabe rich kids and for them it's entirely a status symbol. it's not like a t-shirt with the girl's face on it or something where you could get away with it in certain settings or would just wear it around the house.

Fuck you for comparing my wife to this corporate slop. I will still be buying the watch.

Gura could literally sell her putrid period turds and chumkeks would paid thousands for them.

>>72320356
Hello again OP

If you’re poor, just say so and move on retard.

>>72316521
Obviously its overpriced being a collector item… but are you sure you know the watches market? Mechanisms only are pricey basically if they are entirely mechanical, have some very innovative component that justifies marketing it and an increase of price or if your name is Rolex or something at the same level. The amount of potato mechanisms on 100-500 dollars watches is way higher than anyone thinks, watches usually get pricier due to the exterior. In this case because of it being a collectible.

Anyway, remember a CASIO 10 dollar digital watch will give the time as well as a Rolex, just happens that a rolex or in general not utilitarian watches are akin to buy an expensive car or ring.

>>72320356
No fucking way!

>>72318141
That is a shame really.

>>72320444
The JP price of the Gura watch is 4,500 yen less than the Niji watch, not sure where OP got that screenshot from since the USD price is $230

Honestly, if there's anything to be offended about, it's paying $190 USD for a backpack.

>>72320444

At absolute bare minimum you either buy a Casio or Timex for a watch.
If you buy anything else between the price range of those two brands and a Rolex, you're retarded.

>>72321024
But who would spend $230 dollars on this watch instead of buying a $10 digital watch and use the rest to continue trafficking children?

>>72319750
have Taylor Swift wear my 2-year old boxer shorts and I can guarantee you, Swities would buy it for at least 10k usd. It's all about the branding

I don't know why I opened this thread when I fully knew it would be completely comprised of retards

>>72321146
Uhm why do you think mechanical watches sell for even more when they're even worse at keeping time?

If you're from Asia you can get it like $20-30 cheaper than US store by switching to Jp site and buy it from worldshopping, i got mine plus shipping for less than $200.

>>72316521
This thread really makes watch collectors seething huh?

>>72321433

bold of you to assume that people seething here knows anything about watches. Watch collectors know the power branding. The people seething here are just the usual Gura seethers because she's successful with half the streaming time of their own oshis LMAO

There's always someone sadder you can laugh at no matter how bad your life is

with no streams they can only rely on merch drop to continue waiting. Each time the quality keeps decreasing and price keeps increasing but with no streams they'll keep on buying till gura graduates out of the blue. Then they'll find out she got pregnant around 2022 the start of

>>72321933
Actually if you open the page you get a 10% off coupon and it comes with a pen, so it's only a $360 dollar watch

This is just pathetic, and I'm not talking about the clock.

You are just giving her free advertisement at this point sis...

>>72322021

Is this some kind of reverse psychology bullshit because it ain't deterring me from buy the watch.

How about the screws?

>>72319750
It's not a markup. You're not buying the movement piece, you're buying a whole watch.
I'm not buying this watch or any watch, but I imagine this difference in price between a component and the finished product is also true in many others.

>>72322311
>it's actually high quality

it's kind of rare one even needs winding, most mechanical watches are auto winders that will keep working as long as they're worn every couple of days

sisters stay seething

Why are chumbuds trying to become the Apple fans of Hololive? I wouldn't buy a $300 watch with my own name engraved on it, let alone Gura's.

It's worth pointing out at the mid juncture of this shit thread that there are "people" that think a bunch of gears got marked up from $3 to $300 and literally nothing else about the watch that surrounds said gears has any value whatsoever.
Also people throw akas out for their oshi to draw them PFPs. Just say you're a broke boy and move on.

>>72322615
No, no, no, you don't understand. You need to be a connoisseur to appreciate the subtle details of it all—the small, exquisite design elements blending together to form a perfect, harmonious object that encapsulate everything about our beloved Gawr Gura.

>>72323261
You're clearly still around. This obsession is clearly not sane behaviour, but you also won't leave.

>>72316521
Miyota mechanisms are actually top of the line and their cheapness is a feature. This is no different than other branded watches, you're not buying the watch per se, but the branding.

Nobody on this board is into watches it seems. This has been a thing since before Internet became a thing. Also the Miyota in question will hold better time than a 1000k+ USD Rolex, so it'll get the job done.

>>72323517
NTA, but this is how the watch industry works and operates. Go on. Go lurk watch forums or watch a few youtube vids about it. It has been like this forever. As in before any of us were born. Timex's shitty branded Mickey Mouse watch kept them afloat during the Great Depression back in the 1930s. It's an analog equivalent to a "cheap digital watch" but the thing is now worth a genuine fortune. notice that I reached back more than a hundred years into the past to show you an example of how branded watches were a thing, are a thing, and will continue to be a thing.

To put things into further perspective, a Gura watch with a good or great analog mechanism would end up being as expensive as a Rolex. Good luck finding buyers for that. You have no idea, no conception how deep watch autism goes and how hardcore the entire culture is. From a perspective of a casual watch enthusiast who collects cheap Casio's and cheap Swiss mechanical watches the OP and most of the thread (I see some goys are into watches, kudos to them) are nonsensical and uninformed. This is just their first contact with watch culture, and it shows.

You could spend that $600 on a 1way to Japan instead.

whatever you say sister

>>72316521
Every watch company does this anon. In fact, $300 for that kind of watch is fairly tame compared to whatever slop Casio and Seiko is throwing out.

>>72316521
just buy a real watch

>>72323730
Hundreds of dollars? that's their yearly income! you gotta understand the sister's circumstances.

>>72323261
Clearly not the case when she can pull a natty CCV of like 30k for the entire duration of her being back and 20k sticking around for zatsu + Gurarium selling out instantly + sushiro collab sales records being shattered to the point they had to restock and extend the collaboration…atleast do some research sisters you look silly.

>>72324279
Yes, the only way I could think of cover doing this is to have numerous cheap products with high prices to gauge how many chumbuds would buy whatever they'll push out next regardless of quality while simultaneously testing further the strength of their brand. Figuring out the optimum ratio of quality and price they'll use to extract money.

>>72324477
Only boomers do that shit, most millennials and zoomers don't even use watches, even smartwatches that are aimed to zoomers and millennials sell low and are mainly bought by people that are 50+.

The same happens with suits, ties, belts, formal shoes, shirts, etc…

>>72324477
Men who judge other men on their watches are at the same tier as women who judge other women on their shoes and handbags. Shallow conceited morons that need to get their asses beat. I wear my $100 seiko because I like the it.

needing to remove your phone from your pocket just to see what time it is, is retarded. especially when a casio costs like $15 and will keep time better than any rolex

>>72324953
>needing to remove your phone from your pocket just to see what time it is, is retarded
sure lemme just wear a $300 piece of metal at all times to avoid that

>>72324715
But, but, ... my 1000$ watch is faster than your cheap trash!

I think that using a watch as a men is cringe, you either look like a cryptobro/ wanna be rich man, or you look like an autist.

And they are both the archetype of a problematic person

>>72316521
Wait, why does it show 300 bucks for you? For me it shows at $240, are you using Canada's website?

>>72316521
woah, it's almost like people buy luxury goods for the brand and not the quality.

>>72325042
but let's say you work out and run 10 miles a day for example, wearing a watch is pretty much necessary right? are you actually lugging your phone on the trail with you?

>>72324990
>$300
If you're poor, yeah you could go for something like that

>>72324990
That's what $7 watches are for, bro.

>>72324872
The only time I would consider buying something completely symbolic like a wristwatch, is if it is a gawr gura watch.
none of my peers have watches.

>>72324953
>needing to remove your phone from your pocket just to see what time it is,

in a meeting, a phone that lightly buzzes in your pocket, is a better time reminder of wrapping a business meeting, than nervously continuing to look at the watch.
in many cultures, it is also a signal of disrespect to keep looking at a watch, like you are disinterested, that could be a matter of signing a deal or not.

>>72324990
that's how it works
welcome to the concept of watches

>>72325042
>Wearing a watch is pretty much necessary, right?

No, it is not necessary unless you want to be a pro athlete.

>>72325042
Looks like someone doesn't want to buy merch to support gura

>>72325125
if you are in a high-pressure big case court, and you look at your watch, you bet your ass journos will take a picture of that to paper, and use it against you in the Court of public opinion.

>>72325088
Ironically I stopped wearing my Rolex because I got an Apple Watch Ultra to track my runs while streaming music through it and it's nice enough as a watch to just wear all the time

>>72324776
A $100 Seiko is basically high tier these days, you basically have
>Zoomies who don't see the point in having a watch even if their phone battery dies or it's 2AM and you need to check the time without using a screen
>Guys who buy a $7-15 dollar Casio
>Guys who buy a $100-250 watch to look professional to boomers without overspending
>watch enthusiasts who want a $500-1000 watch
>Rolex fags, who are either collectors or just going to resell to some boomer or immigrant with too much money

>>72325042
Yeah, wearing a watch is cringe and not necessary at all, when everyone has a phone now.

>>72325195
Maybe you should also buy the Gawr Gura tampons and extra-small condoms when they drop, bro. By that time she might do a stream or two.

>>72325307
Why no clock woman watch? missed opportunity.

>>72316521
Make your own gura watch for 3$ then

>>72325125
>>in many cultures, it is also a signal of disrespect to keep looking at a watch, like you are disinterested, that could be a matter of signing a deal or not
yeah I can attest to this, once I was in a meeting and I looked at my watch once, they ganged up on me, pinned me to the ground and just chopped my dick off on the spot
since then I've always found it worth it to program my phone to vibrate in advance because there's no middle ground between subtly checking a watch every now and then and checking it every few minutes like a death row inmate waiting for execution

>>72325246
>it's 2AM and you need to check the time
Why do you need to check the time if you know the time?

>>72324736
It's a hex being a sociopath deflection thread. He flushed his friend's five year old gold fish down the toilet and desecrated another's grandpa's ashes and urn to plant a flower or something

>>72322886
it's harder to dig through your pocked or having to look around the house for your phone because you are not a fucking addict

>>72325457
I am not checking time, I am admiring the clock works and movements of my Patek Philippe Gura Edition when?

>>72325246
>or it's 2AM and you need to check the time without using a screen

??
can you stop pretending you are special forces for 5 minutes? they have their own work watches given for free.

>>72316521
OMG, this is getting embarassing... the pathetic despair from sisters and Phasefags, is out of this world. First of all is 4 dollars, not 3, learn to fucking read. And what do you expect it to cost? $100? Is a part of a mechanism. Those stuff are made into millions in China, and sold for dirt cheap... Parts and manufacture is relatively cheap in China. It shouldn't cost more than 20-50 dollars to make this watch. You are paying for the brand and tax costs. It cost like $400 to manufacture an Iphone 15, and you pay more than double for it. Welcome to consumerism.

>>72316521
Op is clearly a wageslave and doesn't own a business

>>72322041
so about the same price but it's a 18 jewel self winding movement instead of $3 lol oof

>>72325558
Isn't the point of a watch to check the time while on the go? Why would I need to wear it at home when I have plenty of devices that can tell time, as well as a wall-mounted clock?

Can the Gura watch shoot lasers?

>>72325457
>>72325633
How else am I supposed to timestamp my night terrors?

>>72316521
There's the brand and the fact that it is a character themed watch makes the amount kinda understandable. If you want a better watch that you can use for everyday life then this watch is not it (you can still use it though, but the wear and tear is gonna mess it up). This watch is made with collector's in mind.

>>72325669
>You need to be making 7 figures to watch Gura not stream for months.

>>72318141
Yeah, that'd be cool. All the goomba design is inside, kinda like an aquarium but the watch on the outside is made with your typical diver's watch build and durability. Would probably cost you 1k though lol.

>>72325660

>>72324477
How many professional businessmen that care about status symbols are going to buy a vtuber watch?

>>72325125
that's the opposite of completely symbolic

>>72316521
Makes sense. My bluesy rolex was $20k and the movement cost like $500 or $600. Generally the movement is just going to be a small fraction of the cost for the watch. Either way the Gura watch is just going to be a display piece anyways so the movement isn't to important.

Also if your looking at a collab watch for it's functionality/build quality and not as a collectors item then your an idiot. If your interested in something to wear daily that is high quality get something like a Grand Seiko, BB36, Longines Conquest. A Timex weekender or Seiko Turtle are also good choices that aren't quite as expensive.

>>72326055
You'll be much too impressed by the status symbol around my wrist to realize it's actually just a wearable paperweight.

>>72325886
>Not making 7 figures in the first place

Why are you poor?

It's weird seeing people become as loyal as the people who live and breathe Apple products. But it's also funny that people can call out the BS Apple and other big tech companies pull but here Holo and Gura are so sacred you can't say anything bad about them.

What? it's not even a Grand Complications, 5208R-001?!?! what were they thinking?!

>>72326550
why are you larping as rich person? surely you have proof of buying at least 10 of these watches?

>>72326641
The only Gura related Grand Complications pertain to her streaming schedule

>>72326558
merchandise is the bread and butter of these firms, that's the profit margin. you can choose to support Guras workplace or not. _the streams are offered for free either way._
i don't need to criticize when they provide streams for free, apple wouldn't do that.

The absolute bottom of the barrel of society.

>>72316521
How come this is Gura watch and it is not digital?
As if she can even read analog watches.

>>72326683
Why would I need ten when I just need one for collection? Are you actually retard?

They should have asked Gura to draw herself a custom paint job for a classic casio watch.

>>72326829
this is also true, if gura left tomorrow & becomes independent, chumbuds would follow

i can just turn my wrist a little and instantly get the information
maybe if you worked with your hands once your life you'd realize how valuable having a watch is

nta but holy fuck how much of a weak bitch are you that having a watch on your wrist is too heavy for you. especially considering that relying on your phone being in your pocket is more of a pain in the ass for physical work because you might want to just wear sweatpants or gym shorts

It doesn't even have her face/likeness or anything on it lmao. Chumkeks truly deserve no less, they are the ones who continued to flood her with money and shit after her severe lack of activities during the past 2+ years. They have really cemented themselves as not only the most "loyal" fanbase, but also the biggest paypigs. I can't imagine being proud of that, having an oshi that can only be bothered to show up to shill shit and hardly communicates with her fans at all

>>72328028
It's not just the weight. It's cumbersome and you might get caught on something with it. Not to mention it eventually getting sweaty and groos.

>>72328262
>It's cumbersome and you might get caught on something with it.
if you're doing something where that's really a risk, you should be wearing gloves anyway, making it not an issue

Because I like to wear my dive watch constantly instead of just when I'm diving so if something is fucked with it I have a higher chance of noticing when I'm on dry land instead of 200ft into an underwater cave.

are you a woman?

>>72328392
so you concede that using your phone all the time is a pain in the ass? glad we could agree

I guess chumkeks finally got their wish, Gura is just there to shill merch now lol. They will only continue to fall into their cope about how much they are "winning", and that every time Gura returns from a multi-month hiatus that they are "back" for the 10th time.

no, he's right.

Someone needs to use this same format and do the price of plushies vs. the price of cotton stuffing. Or button badges vs. a 3 inch diameter piece of paper.
It's an extremely memeable format, good job op for being so silly!

>>72316521
Their marketing analysis must show that chumbuds have more expendable income than other fans. It's not about if you can afford it, but if chumbuds can. Not meant for everyone.

At this point with the ubiquity and utility of smartphones, if you're getting a fucking analog watch and paying triple digits it better be a real fucking nice one. It's just a fashion accessory like a bracelet for 99% of the populous. Feels like this sort of trend will die out with the boomers.

haha!! fuck i forgot that. i still remember how my hand hair got stuck between the really small metal watch crevices sometimes.

>>72328535
what the fuck does having body hair have to do with your skin being such shit that you can't wear a watch without it chafing? plus nobody is making you buy one, just saying that fuck me if I'm going to check my phone all the time when there's better options for people with IQs above room temp

I get my bonus information for the year in an hour. If the bonus is over $10k, fuck it, I'll buy the new merch.

I'm a skelly and I don't like watches either. But then again I don't like wearing anything that restricts my movement of freedom.

>>72328614
Acrylic stands became such a meme merch product because they're so cheap to produce and the markup is insane. Anime adjacent merch is largely garbage unless you pull the trigger and get some nice sculpted figurine or something.

Even though watches have fallen out of favor with the rise of phones, they are still a main-stay fashion piece for men. So if a company is gonna do a watch-themed merch, then it better be something decent especially for 300$. But this watch is just so basic, take out the Gura aesthetics (which is literally just bloop/trident/her shirt/) and you've got like a 100$ watch at that. At least have Gura be somewhere on the watch, some people probably wouldn't even wear it but just have it as a merch piece in their home anyway. Like who even is this company they've partnered with for this, never heard of them so makes sense that their product is just cheap China shit. Thought Hololive was better than that, but I guess not cause the public shareholders want to milk the talents for everything their fans are worth now

>>72328535
>>72328262
What? I worked as a crabber in Alaska during the on season and as a rig pig during the off season when I was younger and I always wore a watch and never had an issue with it being "cumbersome". I'm also hairy as fuck and my watch never chaffed. "Not to mention it eventually getting sweaty and gross." Jesus you sound like a fucken basedboy cuck.

>>72328949
>they are still a main-stay fashion piece for men.
only guys that would say that in real life are boomers and men's fashion influencers who always try to peddle their sponsored suit brand "you and all men definitely wear suits all the time like its the 1950s and definitely you wont look like an autist"

What sort of peasant shackles himself to a watch when he can just keep it in his breast pocket?

>>72329006
no anon, you should have had your phone in your pocket! watches are outdated!

>>72327127
oh damn, I had one of those as a kid. it was pretty dope

>>72329006
Fuck you need a watch for? You're on a boat, you don't have places to be.

>>72329067
i bet breast pockets were considered higher class precisely because you didn't need to watch the watch all the time, like a wagey-cagey-slave man

>>72322962

>>72328535
Back when I wore a nice metal watch, my left wrist had visibly less hair than my right because of the years of the clasps and shit pulling on hair. That rubberized shit instead of metal fixes the issue, but I'm not 62 and struggling with a mortgage for a 5 acre home I purchased in 1970 for $40,000.

>>72329062
What other fashion pieces are men supposed to wear then, especially compared to how much women are able to express themselves through fashion. Men have barely anything, watches have always been a mainstay for us

This is just a cheap ass quartz movement, it doesn't matter where it's made cuz you can churn them out for pennies. It's not like this is hand made artisan good where traditional Japanese folding techniques result in a better product. It's always gonna be disappointing.

Quite the smooth brained specimen aint ya. I was the deckboss so if the capt told me that a storm was expected at something like 6pm I would have to make sure things were prepped in time. Would also have to let the chef know when to start getting food ready for the guys and would time it so we ate ever 4-5 hours on rough days and 5-6 hours on slow days. The deckhands also needed watches cause if I told them hey in 15min I need you to be doing x when I would expect them to be doing x in 15min.
