Initial impression: its super light, so it automatically feels kind of cheap... but then I remind myself that this is after all, a cheap watch. The strap is supposedly leather, but feels synthetic, perhaps with a slight rubber base. It feels nice to touch and looks to be slightly water resistant. It feels more robust than your regular leather strap.
On the wrist, the S51 wears a little bigger. The case itself is pretty thick, and can't seem to sit perfectly on my wrist. Not to say that it is uncomfortable though; the lack of weight definitely helps with the wear-ability. For one day on the wrist, I've got to admit it was a cheap thrill and apart from the rotor being a touch too audible, there's very little to fault the S51. Especially not with a tiny RM500 price-tag!

Day3 on the wrist so far, and apart from the noisy winding movement, I am quite happy with it.

Been waiting for it to arrive here in Malaysia.
Can this watch be pre-booked?

There is a detailed review on the movement, accuracy seems not good.

How come my S51 so bad?? ????

Actually 20minutes slower per day , can be considered as manufacturer defect, you may wish to claim a new watch replacement directly from Switzerland Swatch Company under warranty(if claim from PJ AD maybe not so effective).

Oops..... But looking at the brighter side, it is a good excuse that you can get a new S51 without any guilt :Dancing_banana:

I do not want to buy any S51 after this. Just keep the old one is enough. Having one (even defective watch) is kinda good thing. I always believe every watch enthusiast should have 1 S51, which a technical achievement for the watch industry :thumbsup:
Yes indeed!
Viva S51, Viva Swatch! :thumbsup:

Maybe it is one of its anti counterfeit feature.
