I have nothing against the Moonswatch, but the ppl who wants to resell them like if it was a sold out collector's piece.

@KMV007 Жыл бұрын

One takeaway from this release: Swatch had massively profited, Omega had massively lost.

@jeff-crankyxer1931 Жыл бұрын

The only thing I hate about it is that they don't make it available to purchase online. The closest "boutique" where I live is a two and a half hour-plus drive. I'll pass. Will I have any interest in it by the time they decide it will be available online? I don't know.

It’s not a “ghost position”. When the crown is in the second position, you can push the pushers and adjust the tiny sundial hands if they happen to get misaligned.

For that money and quality of O/S watch, better to get Sea-Gull 1963 42mm Chrono watch. Same price, super better specs and look and quality, not to mention Manual Chrono movement. However, people who are interested in this O/Swatch might not be really interested in Sea-Gull 1963 42mm, ha ha. Thanks for your honest and interesting review, Oleg. Have a great day.

@ryejack Жыл бұрын

Initially, I wanted to get the Pluto version. I love the color combo on that one. Unfortunately, so many reviewers and commenters have pointed out consistent QC issues that I'm very hesitant to drop $250 on something like this. I think a better price point would have been under $150, which would be more inline with other Swatches of similar build.

They're over-priced, cheaply built plastic watches with inexpensive movements. Adrian Barker's had a pusher snap off, rendering it useless. More FB reviewers are telling it like it is.

Initially was very interested, now won’t buy even at 2nd hand market with lower price after seeing all the low quality issues (falling out push button, transferring color to skin, easily scratched crystal), not serviceable etc. from many other KZfaq videos. They still want to sell at premium prices over boutiques at slow releases but not online sales while there are many cheaper look-a-like counterfeit in the market. Not good for Moonswatch.

Technically not a ghost position. It's needed to re-align the hands of the chrono if required. Pull it out to the first spot - then toggle the top or bottom pushers to move the hands for reset. So while there is no date to adjust - the first spot is still a required function.

Love it, but have not seen one in real life. Love the idea of this watch. Never would mistake it for a real Speedy. Instead, this might give the buyer a notion of what a real Speedy might LOOK on the wrist. I bought the 1863 Sapphire Sandwich a couple of years ago and still want one of these. But, I will wait until the hype dies down significantly.

It's not that bad. The crown just falls off that's all which is fairly consistent with the quality you get with swatch overall and otherwise it's quite good because the quartz accuracy is a couple of orders of magnitude better than the Omega mechanical pieces

Sorry but you didn't talk about case and most important, buttons, that with a simple blow, not too hard, they break. Also fades the case back. I think that when a brand like Omega participates in this, it should take care of these details, even if the watch costs 100 dollars. In my opinion it's disappointing. I have not bought the watch nor will I, but a good friend of mine didi it and this is the result and for the record that he is quite careful.
