New affordable automatic watch from Swatch

[D'Andy]

During my younger days, I had quite a few Swatch pieces. Back in the 80s and 90s, it was the "in" thing to "I  Swatch very much". Remember those days? Swatch would release collectible Swatches and fans would literally clamour for 'em pieces. They were cheap and cheerful, and you could have a different Swatch on your wrist daily. Those were the days... Now, for me at least, Swatch has revolved into Flik Flak for my kids.

Swatch got into my life when I was studying abroad. My Petaling Street watch died off during winter cold days, I went and got a simple Swatch.

The Swatch went so well (oh yes together with my Cyma) through out my uni life. But too bad the I carelessly opened the battery cap too much and damaged the plastic case back.

I would buy if they built one with stainless steel bracelet..

An alternative. About time too. The Swiss have neglected this section of market till now

Btw, there is still a big gap between the Swiss players and Seiko as the later has offered various variety of products in this segment with value for money for their products. It will take times and commitment for the Swiss players to successfully enter into this segment, IMHO.

Very true. If the Swiss players start to seriously look into this segment, good times ahead for watch lovers as this can also prompt Seiko to innovate further.

For the mechanical section, only the Seiko group (including Orient) have a wide presence.

Hope this 2nd gen swatch sistem 51 can be service

Unfortunately it can't - the whole sistem51 is a sealed system

I can say the steel bracelet in Irony System 51s are not solid. Quite typical Swatch Irony quality, design also the same with all other Swatch. About the same with all sub RM1,000 watches including Seiko.
Good thing is I could easily swap with all other Swatch Rubber Straps which I think it is quote fun to do it.

Would u dispose it or send for service If the service cost is 100-200usd when it due for service 5 years later?

I would neither service nor dispose it if the watch still running +-1min per day

i brought system51 before, but then sold off. the glass is not really made from glass, its plastic. its very easy u get scratches. and large ticking sound. but overall still fine.

Any thoughts on the new System 51 made out of Eco friendly material?
