Eleven James watch review for The Hustle Ambassadors
About this video
Sam and Shaan unbox and review Eleven James, a luxury watch rental subscription service, after receiving a complimentary package. They discuss the service’s business model, the specific watch received, and whether the luxury watch experience justifies the cost.
Key takeaways
- Eleven James operates on a PR-based model where watch brands send inventory to the service, which profits from rentals without upfront watch purchases, potentially converting renters into buyers
- The service includes a peer-to-peer rental program where owners can rent out their expensive watches and receive discounts on their own rentals
- Sam found the watch itself impractical due to weight and poor fit, but appreciated the ability to try a luxury item he wouldn’t otherwise purchase, suggesting the subscription model’s value lies in sampling rather than ownership
