If you’re seeking an undeniably chic watch with an interesting blend of materials and style, then the Gucci YA121514 Marina Chain Black Ceramic and Steel Bracelet Watch may be the accessory someone as crafty as you needs.  The blend of metals, crystals, and ceramics makes this Gucci Bracelet Watch a sight to behold, and a fun treat to wear.The ceramic against stainless steel band gives the watch an arts and crafts feel, but the high polished precision and simple elegance of Gucci takes this intriguing watch to a new level.  The eye-catching details of this watch and the slim oval shapes make this timepiece a brilliant addition to a business or casual wardrobe.  I personally found this watch to be effective when trying to liven up a boring black-and-white outfit, because of the shine, shimmers, and interesting graphical design.Pros: The Gucci YA121514 Marina Chain Black Ceramic and Steel Bracelet Watch is unique, functional, and modern.  You don’t have to compromise personal fashion by wearing an accessory as timeless as this one.

• Manufactured by the Swiss and made with stainless steel and high quality scratch resistant sapphire crystal, quality is not something this watch skimps out on.
• The platinum silver hand and face give this watch a very sophisticated look while the ceramic and steel band add personality to the Gucci YA121514 Bracelet Watch, the perfect mix of business and pleasure.
• The sleek face on the dial and the ornate band makes this watch suitable for women of all ages and personal tastes.

Cons: Ceramic watches tend to loose their luster, questioning the longevity of this watch

• The ceramic element to this watch makes it unique, but also risky because ceramic tends to look dull after long period of use.  Perhaps the Gucci YA121514 Marina Chain Watch can serve as a seasonal piece.
• The style of the watch may feel uncomfortably bulky because of all the different materials used for the band.  This is something you can get used to after wearing it for awhile, but it’s not the slimmest or most light weight watch offered by Gucci.

The Final Word: Personally not my taste, but this watch would make a fine gift for creative people who can enjoy the architectural integrity as well as the fine Swiss manufacturing of the Gucci YA121514 Marina Chain Black Ceramic and Steel Bracelet Watch.  It costs $1050, so it better be a gift for someone special.
