Although the Gucci Men’s YA126221 G-Timeless Chronograph Black Dial Steel Bracelet watch offers brand name bragging rights and superior Swiss construction, it’s a dime a dozen aesthetically. It is also overpriced, and not worth your money. Stylistically, I am not a big fan of stainless steel in such large proportions. Furthermore, I wouldn’t recommend paying north of $1000 for a watch sporting such a meager display of distinctive Gucci-ness. If you tend to shy away from a flashy watch style and you enjoy stainless steel, you are going to be better off with a similar looking Invicta 9307 Men’s Pro Diver watch which offers additional features for less than half the price. While you can find the Men’s YA126221 G-Timeless Chronograph Black Dial Steel Bracelet watch at a reduced price online, if, like me, you are a loyal Gucci zealot or a high-end brand lover in general, I implore you to try a more stylish Gucci watch such as the Gucci Men’s YA126222 G-Timeless Chronograph watch which retails for $400 – $500 less.

Similar to comparable watches within the Gucci Chronograph family, the Men’s YA126221 G-Timeless Chronograph Black Dial Steel Bracelet Watch offers sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and water-resistance for divers up to 99 feet. It is easy to purchase, and therefore part replacement will not be hassle. Other than that, there is not much to tell. The YA126221 G-Timeless watch is a bit of a bore. Save for the Gucci brand name, I don’t see why anyone would waste the money the Gucci Men’s YA126221 G-Timeless Chronograph Black Dial Steel Bracelet watch when there is an abundance of stylish, classy comparables out there to invest in for less such as the Men’s YA126222 G-Timeless Brown Chronograph G Dial or feature-wise such as the pro diver series from Invicta.

I am a big Gucci watch lover myself which is why I happily selected the GUCCI Women’s YA121505 121 Marina Chain Quartz Watch for myself and the GUCCI Men’s YA126222 G-Timeless Brown Chronograph G Dial Watch for my husband in a similar price range to the YA126221. As for this watch, you can do better for the money. Don’t sell yourself short with the Gucci Men’s YA126221 G-Timeless Chronograph Black Dial Steel Bracelet Watch. As with any long term commitment (which hopefully any good watch will be), why settle for less? If it’s not the best on the market, keep shopping and move on!
