I Bought The Swatch & Omega MoonSwatch So You Don't Have To!

This is my first "Speedmaster" and after all the craziness on- and offline the Swatch & Omega MoonSwatches aren't all that bad! How do you like the new Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Moonshine Gold?

Which model is your favorite and did you buy yours in the stores or on the secondary market?

The real objective here was to increase awareness of both brands and to develop interest in actual watches as opposed to electronic gadgets worn on wrist. They sold as many as they are prepared to make and sales of real Omega Speedy Pro/Moonwatches has increased 50% since the colab release. Job done.

It’s a fun watch.
It turned out to be a phenomenal
marketing bonanza. Watch enthusiasts
are still obsessed with these.
It’s fun to still play with toys at any age.

To be honest, when I just got into watches, I wanted a Speedmaster only coz of a mainstream hype. But when I really thought of it, I realized it's not a watch for me. I realized that I don't like chronographs in general. This revelation saved me some money I guess. Tho I'm glad there are Speedmaster fans, and its history is unbeatable.

I was 100% sure I was going to buy at least one, heck I couldn't even decide which one to buy I liked a lot of them. Thank you Swatch for absolutely fumbling the bag and losing out on MILLIONS of dollars by not making the watches available soon. Definitely not gonna pay 250 for a plastic watch now that I've come to my senses.

I'm in the US and bought the Mission to Earth model a couple weeks after launch on Stock X and paid couple hundred over retail shipped from Paris. I love it and wear it all the time. I get more comments than any other watch I own.

People thought they were getting a cheap Speedmaster, when really they were getting an expensive Swatch.

I think this was a brilliant idea and more collaboration should be done. It brings a bit of fun back into the watch industry.

I've always been a huge fan of the Pluto and I think it's a great thing for the watch community that these watches happened.it gives people who can't afford a speed master like me the chance to appreciate an amazing company like omega even if it is through a company like swatch which has its own roots to be respected anyway.

[WatchWitt]

I really like the color combination of the Mission to Pluto. This strap, on any of the variations, is not for me, though! You’re not the first to say it feels like cardboard! Ha! If these were readily available online I would own one by now. I don’t live near a Swatch store and don’t have a desire to make the trek to one. As each day passes that these are not available online, directly from Swatch, my desire to own fades more and more.

People need to understand -- an actual Omega Speedmaster will never have plastic on them.

If Swatch is in the name, having an Omega next to it would mean it's only jacking up the price of a SWATCH watch, not an actual Omega.

Thanks for raising awareness, so many more kids won't fall for the trap in thinking they're getting an Omega for this type of price.

There's a reason why Omega is still a desirable brand next to Pateks and Rolexes.

And sadly this is just not a Speedmaster many think it is.

There is no doubt that these watches are hyped, and I wouldn’t personally pay a premium to own one. I got lucky about 2 months ago when i was in Vegas and walked into the Swatch store to find out they had few model available. I was interested in Mercury and Moon but they only had Mars, Sun and venus available. So i picked up the mission to Mars. I think its a nice summer watch for the price, especially on a rubber strap. Super light and cool colors. A guy offered me $800 for it a day later and I had to talk him out of buying the watch bc thats how much i liked it. So if you are comparing these watches to $300 Seikos, Citizens, micros etc. probably will be a letdown in terms of build quality bc these are fun watches not tool pieces ment to last forever and take a beating. Probably a keeper for me.

i got swept up in the craze and bought an actual speedy! I love it, although, I've found the crown hard to wind and it hurts my fingers to wind it up all the way.

[TommylandShop]

I like the Mission to Mars the most because it’s the only Mission with luminous rocket sub-dial hands 👍✌️

[orzjr]

The moonswatch was the push I needed; It ended my doubts about buying a PD 1701... I immediately bought 2: Alaska and the classic (black dial and white hands and indexes).

[richardbartlett]

the only omega I'd have is the Snoopy. I've never wanted a Swatch. so these are of no interest to me to buy although the Saturn looks good, the red one looks really cheap and nasty IMHO

[ChrisJones-hsnj]

I quickly gave up and bought a solar Seiko chronograph for £180. A great fun beater I use for sports. I'm so over the moonswatch now I realise it's a plastic toy.

[DerMitochondrienDoktor]

I´m just now in capetown and very soon I will by the pluto-watch, because it´s fit so much to my new online-business. And I will wear the watch, definitively

[alaydshah]

Can we not add a sapphire or other durable crystal for it to last longer.. ?

[navratilj]

LOL thanks for keeping the gray market machine running...
