Wristwatch Review: Gianello Dominion Watch Set with Interchangeable Straps

I recently discovered a supply of Gianello watches at Burlington. The New York-based brand belongs to Vernier Watch Company and touts Italian design and Asian manufacture. The brand has watches available at their website, on Amazon, and at Burlington retail stores. The Gianello watches that I've found at Burlington are generally available at prices between $20 and $25. The watch I'm looking at today is the Gianello Dominion.  It's a rectangular dress watch for men that's really made for more formal looks.

Gianello Dominion Watch Dimensions

This little tanker watch is 28mm wide by 35mm tall. My wife thinks it is a bit dainty and too small for jeans and tee shirt wear.  Indeed, the watch is only 8mm thick and would easily fit under a dress shirt cuff. The bracelet is 18mm wide bracelet by the case that tapers just slightly to 17mm.

Gianello Dominion Watch Features

The watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement, has a stainless steel caseback and alloy case. The bracelet is a comfortable "beads of rice" design that is secured by a foldover clasp with a double push button. For a watch from Burlington, it comes with a slightly nicer embossed (presumably synthetic) leather presentation box.

Gianello Watch Pricing

The prices for Gianello watches vary widely. Sometimes I think, "Holy Invicta! These Manufacturers Suggest Retail Prices (MSRPs) are way too high!" For example, the Burlington Price with $19.99 and they would compare this watch set to a $34.00 watch set. That's a great deal and reasonable for a discount store quartz watch. However, the $445 MSRP price on this watch label is in no way realistic for this watch.

Overall Impressions of the Gianello Dominion Watch

I do like this watch as a dress watch to wear with a long sleeved shirt. It's comfortable, thin, and light weight. It also fits me perfectly. But, my wife is right, this watch is rather dainty and, in day to day life, I'm not that fancy. I'm more of a sports bar or pizza joint kind of guy. I do think this watch is a good deal if you can find it at Burlington. The brand is a fairly rare find. This one has earned a place in my collection for dressier occasions. I have several Gianello watches now and there seems to be one for almost everyone.
