MoonSwatch Review FAKE Swatch Gen Omega Speedmaster Swatch Comparison Mission to Mercury Neptune
Показать описание
I bought two FAKE $30 Moonswatch Omegas. Check out how they compare to the genuine version. The word on the street is that the Omega x Swatch collaboration (both brands exist under the same corporate umbrella) is a big deal. They’re not sold online. They’re only sold at some brick and mortar Swatch locations across the globe. Customers are limited to one per person, and if you do find one, stock is pretty limited. And aftermarket sellers on eBay are selling these for double to triple MSRP. So yeah, they’re a big deal. The watch case diameter is a sporty and versatile 42mm and wears more like a 38-40mm watch. So if you can get your hands on the Mercury or Moon options and throw on a black leather strap, those color options would certainly fit in most office environments. But the brighter colors are obviously a no-go for using it as a dress watch. Water resistance is 30 meters. That’s pretty much the very minimum for the watch market. So it’s fine if you wash your hands while wearing it and it won’t succumb to the rain. But this isn’t a dive watch. The movement is of course quartz. Will this annoy the Watch Snobs? Yes. But those types are free to pay $6,000 – $12,000 for an automatic Speedmaster. At the $260 MSRP, this quartz movement is expected as well as incredibly accurate. And unlike mechanicals/automatics, you won’t have to reset it if you set it down and don’t wear it for a few days. The strap is, well, Velcro. I can’t say I prefer a Velcro strap for my watch, but I find the quality to be decent enough. The Swatch sales associate did suggestion I pick up a different strap since they’ve had some complaints. And I suspect that’s partially because they seem to fit best on people with relatively smaller wrists. Since that happens to describe my wrists, I had no complaints. But I would certainly look into getting a third-party strap that fits a watch with a 20mm lug-to-lug distance. To be sure, I mean a NATO, leather, or to match something like the Dark Side of the Moon (true) Omega, a woven nylon strap. Metal isn’t happening here because it would clash with the case, and it might even damage the Bioceramic with use.
The case material is a bit interesting. Swatch is known for making plastic watches. This watch is made of what they call “Bioceramic,” which is essentially plastic (but technically 2/3 ceramic and 1/3 bio-derived plastic made from castor plant seeds). But to me it feels much more substantial than your average swatch. Almost like how a titanium watch is lighter than a steel watch, yet it still feels like it can take a beating. The bioceramic case will similarly annoy the Watch Snobs. But I’ll again point out the MoonSwatch is ninety-six percent less expensive than the cheapest Speedmaster, so steel wasn’t on the table. And it’s a collaboration with Swatch. It’s quite literally what Swatch does.
