Third-party reviews

What we like about Hublot Big Bang E Black Ceramic

  • Iconic Big Bang design and aesthetic that closely mimics Hublot's mechanical luxury watches
  • Premium materials including a scratch-proof micro-blasted black ceramic case and sapphire crystal
  • Excellent build quality and 'macho sex appeal' that differentiates it from mass-market smartwatches like the Apple Watch
  • Highly responsive 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen with bright, sharp visuals and 327 dpi
  • Innovative 'One Click' strap system allows for easy and quick interchangeability of bands
  • Functional rotating crown with rubber grip makes scrolling through menus and alerts easy

What we don't like about Hublot Big Bang E Black Ceramic

  • Prohibitively high price point for a device with rapidly depreciating electronic components
  • Poor battery life, typically lasting only one day or less, requiring frequent nightly charging
  • Slow charging speeds, taking approximately 2.5 hours to reach a full 100% charge
  • Lack of essential modern smartwatch features such as built-in GPS and a heart rate monitor
  • Hardware specifications (Snapdragon Wear 3100) were already considered dated shortly after release
  • Inconvenient charging puck design that forces the watch to lay on its side or face

Verdict

The Hublot Big Bang E Black Ceramic is a luxury smartwatch featuring a 42mm micro-blasted and polished black ceramic case with the brand's signature 'sandwich' construction and a scratch-proof sapphire crystal. It is powered by Wear OS by Google and runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of flash storage, all displayed on a high-definition AMOLED touchscreen with 327 dpi resolution. Key advantages include its prestigious aesthetic, which replicates traditional Big Bang design codes, the high-durability ceramic material, and a 'One Click' interchangeable rubber strap system. However, main drawbacks include a limited battery life of approximately one day, a 3 ATM water resistance that is unsuitable for swimming, and the absence of integrated GPS and heart rate monitoring.
