Which Gen watch firm has the best web page and why?


Recommended Posts

Some like IWC are too technical, some are so fixed at 800pixel with lit is like going back through time and some are so flash incentive they are slow to load on slower connections (like the rolex site)

Some have massive buy it now buttons that says to me we just want you cash we dont care (which probably true)

What do you guys think, who has the best site all round. Up to date, modern, quick to load with the right information.

I can't stand the Flash based, or artistically overdone pages.

That said, I think my favorites are:

Doxa

MkII

Panerai

I will give Breitling a nod ONCE you get to the product, it is cool to play with the strap/braclet combos.

Keep it simple!

To be honest I have never found one I liked, there are some with good aspects to the site but overall I find them more about selling the image or the kudos of the brand rather than showing enough of the watches.

I am not criticising them for it afterall thats why most people buy the big brands.

I prefer the high grade used sellers, there pics are better the info short and sweet and no frills to sift through.

But if I had to pick one it would be Omega mainly because you can access archive stuff on models serial numbers and movements.

Doxa took my eye quite well, very to the point

OK, seriously now.

The Doxa site reflects the tool character of their watches quite well.

Me, I'm a fool romantic. I like Jacquet-Droz, very playful and also reflecting the image of the brand very well.

Whaddaya think?

The Omega site isn't too bad, but I've not found a watch site that I would hold up as an example of good website design. Ok, so I've worked in the web industry for over a decade and may be too picky, but still.

Used to like Jaeger-LeCoultre when they used to show clips of extreme sports like Skydiving and Snowboarding.

Breitlings site has munch improved with their new release.

Anything that I cannot read on the iPhone suck... Or is it the iPhone that sucks? ;)

That would be the whole lack of "Flash" support thing...that will soon be plaguing the iPad. :(

On that note, the worst Gen sites are the Flash heavy sites.

I like Breitling, Panerai, Rolex...but they're all good in their own right...unfortunately flash can be overkill and makes viewing them a pain!
