I Ask AI To Find Me A New Watch: Will It Be The Same Watch I Picked Myself?
In the quest for a versatile watch priced between €4,000 and €5,000, the search includes essential features like a GMT function, a minimum depth rating of 100 meters, and an automatic movement. The process involves engaging AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to generate watch recommendations based on a detailed prompt that includes personal preferences and experience as a watch journalist. Both AI tools provide a variety of options from respected Swiss or Japanese brands, offering insights into each watch's specifications, aesthetics, and suitability for different occasions. Ultimately, while AI can suggest suitable watches, it may overlook specific personal boundaries regarding price and size, leading to the consideration of options outside initial expectations. The final choice made was the 39mm Longines Spirit Zulu Time Titanium, praised for its features and design. This exploration highlights that the journey of finding a new watch is as important as the purchase itself, emphasizing enjoyment and emotional connection over a simple transaction.
