I ran a 'bake off' to see how much image quality changes across the five quality settings of OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5.

Each setting was asked to draw the same watch.

The difference only shows up when you zoom in on the dial, and the price runs from $0.09 an image at Low to $0.59 at Max, about six times more.

My recommendation is to pay for High when the product is a big close-up. And use Low for everything else. Inside a normal Meta/Facebook Ad, Low and Max look similar.

Going with 2. Most people will watch it on their phone anyway and the tighter framing feels punchier. 1 looks more cinematic though.

AI UGC - Minimalist Watch Ad | Viral E-com TikTok

This is an AI UGC video - I created this human avatar + voice without hiring real models.

Hook: 0-1.5 sec smile close-up with watch (emotional hook for female audience) Avatar: Custom AI model - cute, warm, natural - not robotic Edit: DaVinci Resolve + CapCut - clip-by-clip color correction, logo placement, beat sync, no on-screen text

Why AI UGC? ✓ No model fee - saves $200/video for brand ✓ 48 batch delivery (5-10 videos/day) ✓ Perfect for testing product angles fast

This exact style got 1.1M organic views for my watch brand client.

Tools: HeyGen / Arcads + CapCut + DaVinc

I'm loving the depth of field in this shot, the focus pull from the model's face onto the wrist is a good move and there's some nice background walla/clinking that makes it feel grounded in the first two seconds that gets ducked against the vocals. Still some observations and...
