Hublot iPhone app review

Review

When we first heard watchmaker Hublot would be releasing an iPhone app, we didn’t honestly expect much. Boy were we wrong. If you’re a watch lover, this app has to be the most feature-packed creation the App Store has to offer. There is loads of content available here — 360 degree interactive watch views, the ability to actually see and control your favorite watch (complete with start/stop chronograph function), to even a built in game where you can win prizes by winding up a virtual power reserve on a Hublot (you shake the iPhone to wind the watch). It’s pretty amazing to see a watch company that gets what the iPhone experience is all about. Our favorite feature, though? Hublot went all out with the ability to let you try on your favorite Hublot watch using an augmented reality-type interface, and it looks really, really good. The app weighs in at around 65MB, but storage space on your iPhone is a small thing to spare to have a virtual collection of Hublot timepieces in your pocket.

    Every decent blog has become commercialized. Some fair better than others, e.g., engadget. I don’t see this going well

    Are you serious?

    This is without a doubt the gayest shit I’ve ever seen.

    Bgr should do more app reviews like once a week.

    Awesome! Definitely the closest I’ll ever get to owning one.

    I don’t think you can tell the difference between an app and an advertisement. This “app” is basically an iAd by another name.

      Really? You think Hublot paid us to review an iPhone app, and that we’d actually take money in exchange for a post?

      Please.

        He means the app itself is a 65MB advertisement. The comment has nothing to do with the review. I would tend to agree with him because it’s rare to find a free iphone app these days. In one way, shape, or form, everything tied to Apple is about $revenue$.

        No Biggles is right, I meant that the app is an ad, not the review.

        This is why I hardly ever comment on BGR, it’s all about juvenile posturing and false machismo and everyone gets their panties in a twist over the slightest criticism.

    nice subtle advertising…

    I like the idea of you guys doing app reviews once in awhile, but this is seriously one of the douche-iest apps I’ve ever seen.
