Thoughts on the new Swatch X Omega collab?
IMO, I like that they are making it accessible for a wider audience, especially for those who can’t afford the original moonwatch.

Only thing to think about is…which one to buy…I have the sistem 51 and absolutely love it. Will definitely make a bee line to the shops day after to have a look see…This will pair nicely with my speedy pro
-
It is an interesting model and a good fun watch. Since it is only sold in selected Swatch boutiques, then I will only get one IF I happen to be there and IF the variant I want is available.
-
I am surprised the Omega forums are full of haters...
they've always been a much nicer bunch than the Rolex forums, and then the Moonswatch came along and they crawled out of the woodwork
even though the Omega name and logo is there, Omega themselves don't seem to be selling the watch so it's more like Swatch making a moonwatch the Swatch way..
I think it's cute, my kids like it, and this will start their journey to the real Omega timepiece..
-
Though not limited edition watches, I think demand is going to exceed supply and the scalpers are going to have a field year with these. They'll probably sell out within an hour or so and I doubt there'll be any to see at the Swatch shop once you reach the shop end of the mile long queue. We'll soon find out come Saturday.
-
Yep, get set for #SoldOutCulture this saturday. RM 1065 a piece, only at Swatch Pavi, only 2 pcs max per customer, no duplicate color choices. I actually dropped by the Omega boutique just now n the SA was getting call after call from clients asking about the Moonswatch (love that nickname btw). These r great, but I wonder if they're gonna go the way of other flippable merch. Especially dat mission to youranus :Laughing_on_floor:
-
anything that people hate at introduction ends up to be a bestseller over time..
look at the fugly SkyDweller when it was announced a decade ago...
-
If any member gonna go take a queue please inform us the situation, still not decide go from Johor, afraid out of stock in short time.
-
Strap wise there's always rubber for Uranus!
-
This will be like the all-black Casioak. Chill. It is a swatch.

Any L2L dimensions or is it a carbon copy of the speedy pro in terms of dimensions?

Was just gonna ask if this was a LE. You answered it in time haha. I like the Monnswatch, but not crazy enough to queue up and rush for it. Well at least I know at some time or another, I would be able to get my hands on it.

I agree that this will be the situation in the short term. Thus it is important that buyers out there be prudent.

It seems the queue is already started in Taipei

I suppose if really desperate, one could pay the scalpers for a backdoor to Uranus. :mooning:

People get overly hyped over some plastic toy watches :Laughing_on_floor:

Bud it ain't plastic, it's Castor oil!
Just wait till you feel the effects of castor oil and silicone on Uranus.
-
Hang betui kejam bro :Laughing_on_floor: pity the fellers queueing at pavi
-
I heard that at Pavi, they gave out only 200+ numbered tickets this morning to those who lined up outside the mall's main entrance - only 1 watch per person limit. Those who were already lining up outside the Swatch shop before the mall's opening time didn't get squat. :o :P
-
The HYPE is real!!
-
Hype behaviour is really gila... :D
-
hype AND scalper

Singapore Marina Bay Sand outlet also got a long q...
-
queueing up for so many hours is definitely going to take a toll on Uranus.
So ya'all, which is your favourite one? Mine is the mission to Mercury.
-
will get Jupiter and Neptune when got discount....
and for the Mrs, Venus and Uranus ( dropping hints )...
:Laughing_on_floor:
-
I'll settle for the Saturn - that 6 o'clock subdial is a nice change from the usual
-
heard in HK 1 of the boutiques had to call off opening altogether because too many crowded that area breaching their SOP....so police ordered to close. All who lined up from the day before :Mad: :HammerHead:
and yes, Saturn is nice with the unique planet visible!
-
:o @ the queue overnight.
Crazy how hype drives logic out of the window.
Good thing about this is, in SG, Carousell is actively removing scalpers' posts. A search on moonswatch will only yield few results, and those posts are from good Samaritans asking everyone to calm down, don't FOMO, restocking soon.
BTW, sharing real life pics of this, found on FB (not mine)

"Plastic" definitely looks good though :P , not sure if its easily scratched, definitely a good entry level piece.
-
the videos worldwide and the crowds at pavilion today was insane. i get the hype and everything but honest people going nuts for something that will be restocked and not limited and/or numbered is plainly stupid
-
Crazy la…many do it for instagram man…or scalp.
Anyway, I’m happy with my Omega x Swatch…though havent campur yet.

Its really ridiculous the way things r going, worldwide fomo overload. About the only thing good about this is that some other brand is getting all the hype and attention instead of...well...THAT brand

Hear hear
Problem with the R brand is. The supply is EVERYWHERE aka everyone has one aka not even rare. But the AD and grey game is on point until everyone can’t get. Ridiculous.

“seaSwatch” :Laughing_on_floor: that’s a good one
Yea this fomo deal is making me sick. I saw a vid on instagram this morning prolly somewhere in China, the rush for it was like a zombie apocalypse scene wei…
I was just at swatch 1u this morning to change a battery (FOC) , and the guy just casually said, more will come next week but only at Pavi…can buy online also… WHAT’S THE BIG RUSH?????
Sheesh.
Oh yea, the R Brand game is strong. Most swiss watch sold and distributed, yet still commanding ridiculous prices. I mean, I havent really seen any coloured OP’s in the wild! Most of it probably exchanging between dealers. :HammerHead:
-
Haha, at least it gets people talking about this whole saga, good brand marketing it is. Somethng to take away from the stress where people complaining how they can't get their pieces from R brand..

Priced to make anyone feel a pain in Uranus.
Looks like R brand has a worthy competitor

This has been an absolute win for both brands in terms of hype and branding perspective.
Swatch is the only watch brand in the ranking, which is generally dominated by clothing as expected.
Now there will be another bump when the "next batch" is released and everyone go crazy trying to buy it online again.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220327/5c6fc764cb7d160472f033506237f901.jpg)

Saw it in the Me…i mean Plastic. IMHO (personal preference, no hate) - only the Mars version looks decent. The rest. Swatch-y. Not for me.

Not even the Mission to the Moon one? But true also la, very Swatchy and plasticky. Man, to think ppl spend all that time, queue over night, risky covid n fist fights for this.

Not even that bro. The grey bio-ceramic case looks more plastic than actual plastic...if there is such a thing - but you may get what I mean. Lego looks better imo ;D.
@dpkong - definitely a lose this time for them.

was told there were still ppl queueing like mad in pavilion swatch store. arent they available for preorder now online or something?? :o ???

Perfect strategy. Getting the brand on the wrist of the wider (mass) market.
When people start thinking about transitioning into a more premium brand, omega will always be part of the consideration then.

So, any intel on when these will be available to purchase? In store or online?

Inception... :Laughing_on_floor: But it is a workable strategy - and a risk too. High risk, high return.

It’s a leap of faith. And we shall see how it unfolds.
P.S - say no to overpriced reseller.

Well, you can't run away from the fact that it's swatch made so take it as it is and it'll be fine. Just don't see it as something that it's not.

Yea, the inflated secondary prices are simply not worth it at all. I love swatches btw, I have 3 in fact, but I dont see myself paying any premium for it. Rolex is a different story altogether :Confused:... :HammerHead:
-
Yea, it seems that people are reselling everything that has even a tiny bit of hype. I hope the retailers can bring in more stock soon and screw the resellers. That would make my day any day.

It will get restocked and widely available sooner or later. Don't forget to share us some pictures of full box when the day comes ;)

One MARS for me then...haha
-
Yea.. This watch can simply get at 1k later once re-stock... Those who really bought from secondary market will surely pointless..Due to the supply like this.. the pre-owned market i believe eventually will be surely pressed the price..
-
ok, restock when? anyone got intel?
-
There are a lot of lessons manufactures can learn from the current watch market.
No need to mention the likes of Rolex, Audemars Piguet or Vacheron Constantin.
Some Omega models are now becoming harder to get. Some Zenith as well.
If Swatch will learn anything, there was a big hype on the first day of sale.
How they manipulate supply now will determine it's success.
Or they can just say fakit and flood the market with these cheap watches and/or sell them at a discount.
The fact is anyone who releases something "new" will have the scalper market to help them hype it up.
-
Its rather depressing though, the notion that every single release that we lok forward to is likely to be hyped n scalped and flipped to the point of near inaccessibility.
-
just pure hype. for that price range id rather get the steel g shock
-
Is anyone know where can i get the moonswatch box? i planned to collect all of them. Thanks in advamce.

Swatch has confirmed that this will not be a limited edition, so just be patient lor....
