Here are the 3 new Moonswatches Mission on Earth. Shameless Swatch is milking the poor cow dry and killing the Omega brand by doing so.

Desperate? Hardly. The moonswatch sold in record numbers. Swatch is awesome.

The thing i dont understand is that we as watch collectors should be happy people are saying in lines for hours outside shops to buy these instead of digital watchs? I dont get the issue? Not everyone can spend 5k+ for a speedmaster ... this seems so petty. The Omega brand is not tarnished by this we all know its not an omega if anything you buy one of these as a young kid or yound adult and then you say " one day ill get a real one "

I would have to check , but I think they are much more than $5,000 USD , they are $13,000 AUD atm . I am guessing they are about $8,000 USD atm . Not cheap. I love the white version but.

1)What is wrong with digital watches? 2) This is an obvious cash grab. At the price point, quality is abysmal.

@JG-qb9gd 13 күн бұрын

@@e28forever30 1. Not sure if sarcasm but here we go. Digital watches are currently the most sold watches on the market. We dont need analogue watches anymore we have phones and digital watches, thus the watch collecting market as well as the luxury watch market is always under the constant threat that at some point people will stop buying these less modern watch as they have not really changed in over 120+ years? Simply put any exposure to coventional time keeping and especially in making young people interested is fantastic but I dont really understand why I'm even having to explain this. 2) No is one making you buy the watch? Because the watch is a " cash grab " means we need to throw shade on a 275 euro watch? A lot of people like them, People that before would have never purchased a watch like this and instead opted for a digital watch. Some of these people will now delve in the rabbit hole that is watch collecting and mechanical watches and its great for the space. These type of comments are also one of the reasons a lot of people dont enter the watch community because of the constant snobery and pedantic way they are talked to if they like somehting considered a " cash grab ". (not saying you did this) It is however one of the reasons a lot of people do not enter the space.

I don’t understand why you care, it absolutely does not diminish Omega, if anything it promotes Omega to people who otherwise wouldn’t have a clue what Omega is, and if you don’t like it don’t buy it move on. It’s marketing genius from a company that arguably saved the Swiss watch industry from oblivion buy selling low quality disposable plastic watches, good on them hope they sell millions and everyone one of them pisses off so call “enthusiasts”.

@karlsenula9495 12 күн бұрын

I think most here can agree on a few points: 1) the moonswatches are polarizing. People either love or hate them. 2) Swatch is making a mint on them or else they wouldn't keep making them. 3) Swatch watches were always inexpensive, plasticky, often disposable but fun - which this is. 4) the controversy here is the Omega (part of Swatch group) tie in that has boosted the price and hype and expectations (rightly or wrongly) of what should have been a normal Swatch priced product. 5) if this had been a strictly Swatch watch using this design (same design, material and movement - heck even still calling it a Moonswatch) but without the Omega and Speedmaster name or tie in at a normal Swatch price then there would be little to no controversey ... But also probably less interest in the watch as well.

My progression of interest in the MoonSwatch: - See announcement that there will be a collaboration between Swatch and the Omega Speedmaster - Cool! I need to check these out! - Discover that they are made of plastic - Interest level decreases slightly, but should have known since it is Swatch after all. - $250!!!!! - Are you kidding me?! Okay, I can wait and see if I can pick up one on the grey market for half the price. - See all the hype, mass hysteria and eBay scalper prices on release day - Interest level drops to near zero! - See eventual KZfaq reviews and discover they are only being sold at full retail thru Swatch stores - NOPE! All interest abated! - Bought a Bulova Lunar Pilot - Happy!

Love or loath them, you can’t deny that the MoonSwatch has helped protect the watch making industry against the threat of the smartwatch long-term. It’s brought a whole new generation of watch enthusiasts to the fore. Anecdotically I’d also suggest it’s helped lead into the increased sales of true mechanical watches.

@karlsenula9495 13 күн бұрын

I wouldn't say long term ... And if there are as many issues, QC, quality, inability to repair etc., with these as has been reported won't that turn people off of these types of mid-range watches? And potentially off of Swatch group products in general? Not saying it will happen but it is a possibility. Don't forget most people are buying these on hype not watch (specs, movement etc.) knowledge

Just out of curiosity what would you consider the right price? I considered them when the news about them first broke. However, the bad reviews, QC (bleeding colors on some), quality (according to reviewers cheap feel and inability to repair), high price and other issues like lack of online sales have put me off. I got a Bulova Lunar Pilot instead.

@jaydub9509 12 күн бұрын

@@karlsenula9495 Honestly, probably around $150. That's what my solar Bluetooth Casioak cost, and it has greater functionality. But given the styling and luxury watch association of the MoonSwatch, I think it would balance out at that price point for me. But the value of any commodity is what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm guessing there will be many who would pay the asking price and then some.

@jaimemello17 12 күн бұрын

Olivier I think if younger people who are starting the hobby of watches might want to see the movie Appolo 13 and may have a different perception of the Omega Moonswatch. Honestly I have no issue with an homage watch. This enables more people to enjoy and share our love for watches. The fact that Swatch is making a cheap homage of one it own companies is disappointing. As many people and yourself have already pointed out you can get a Pagani, Seiko and other Chronographs with significantly better quality than a Swatch at a better price.

@Horologique 12 күн бұрын

And that would be wonderful! On my review on the MoonSwatch I stated that according to me this was an awful but important release because it would bring new people into the hobby. But a this point after so many cash grabbing releases the Swatch Group are really shooting themselves in the foot, degrading both brands at this point, especially good old Omega. It's not even the Homage thing that bothers me

@jaimemello17 12 күн бұрын

@@Horologique 100% agree. It’s a cash grab on the part of Swatch.

I see the Omega moonwatch as “holy grail” of the watch world due to its storied history.

That said , however I do like the real new white Dial Speedmaster , but it has an asking price of $13,000 AUD and that would entail spending the kids inheritance as they say here in Australia.....lolol
