MoonSwatch Summer Tour

😂 🤦🏻‍♂️ No. 

That would be an excellent cover for a drug trafficking op. Can I please place an order for uh, two missions to Mars if you catch my drift

Lol! I’d love to see that ‘hash’tag…

I think today is the day I stop trusting in the future of humanity

It's clearly missing an app. Otherwise it would be the new Pokémon GO.

That is a pretty smart move on the part of Swatch, their marketing people deserve a raise. 

"Major Tom, this is Ground Control. We have a Go for two Missions to Mars!" 🤣

Uber for watches! 😂

I've already made my order... 

I am strangely charmed by this… not enough to use it, I’m in the US and I got mine already, but charmed nonetheless. Is it sort of dumb? Yes. Charming as hell though. 

@Timely_Moments 

I spoke to one of the sales people and asked why nome of them hhad one on - apparently they’re not ‘allowed’ to have one!

Just like being in this hobby!!

I did wonder if the ’weight’ of the plastic watches was enough to keep it from blowing over by the wind…!

For real though. Look, if you want one of these things enough, and make a bit of a day meeting up with this mobile watch dealer it becomes a bit of the whole story of getting the watch, a part of the experience. I think that’s pretty cool. It’s certainly more of an experience than just clicking ‘buy’ on a website. 
It sucks that everyone who wants one can’t get one I guess but if this puts this silly overpriced watch into the hands of people that want one, cool. 

What's a Moonswatch??

Is it something new?

No idea - can’t be selling well to promote them like this…

This is a joke, right?  Please tell me this is a joke... because this is the stupidest thing I've seen in a very long time.  Let me count the stupidity:

1. This is London.  London has a Swatch store.  You can buy you MoonSwatch in the store... in London.
2. This is London.  You cannot walk into the Swatch store in London and put your name on a list, then go pick up your watch at a designated time at the Swatch store.... in London.
3. This is London.  There are people crying about access to MoonSwatches because they don't live anywhere near a Swatch boutique and cannot possibly get to the nearest place they actually sell these things.  Too bad about everybody else but if you step outside the Swatch store in London since they don't have any in stock, you can just order it off the street like a pretzel or a sausage... in London.
4. This is London.  I don't live anywhere near London.  There's an ocean between us that this car cannot cross.  I suspect that this "tour" will not make it to my little industrial city in the mid-west North America.  You can almost universally apply this comment to Moonswatch fans because as a percentage, very few live in London.
5. This is London.  Despite already having access to a store and now access to the tour, they are giving access to any Rando walking down the street while there's tens of thousands of people clamouring to be able to get one.  Yet they are going to go the Rando on the street... in London.

This is too stupid to actually believe it's true.  Enough with stupid and insulting marketing games.  Just put the shitty plastic watches online and let the people who want one, get one FFS.

P.S.  I don't want one and never have but the stupidity of this entire concept and the blatant crassness of this marketing attempt are enough to make me swear off Swatch Group brands of all types (after I get my BPFF, of course).

P.P.S.  Did I mention that this whole concept is stupid.

Two Swatch stores in London that sell it….

I still think Omega management must be trying to sabotage the MoonSwatch, they probably thought it would devalue the brand and are fighting production and availability any way they can.

On the Moonswatch release day, I went into an Omega boutique (they had the mission case in the window). It may have been the store manager I chatted to - he looked at me disapprovingly when I said that the Moonswatches in the shop window must be good for business - I haven’t seen them in that particular store since…I did read that sales of Moonwatches were up 18% from the previous quarter but who knows if that can be directly attributed to the Moonswatch. Maybe it’s more marketing - I can’t believe that those new owners were actually asked if they bought one because they couldn’t get their hands on the plastic version…

Even the Rolex AD's can do better than that now. Severely limited promotional products are not worth waiting for. Order a toy watch and maybe you get the call but have a look at these watches while you wait....

I did get one (second one in about a month now). 
I don’t mind waiting if I think it’s worth it. 
There’s too many other watches before I consider a Rolex, at this moment in time 

I had one for a day and then sold it for a small profit on ebay. It was just too low quality (cheap/light/plasticy) to maintain my interest. If I would have been allowed to actually see or hold the watch in the store, I probably would not have bothered buying it.  I have a Pagani Design homage now instead. That fits my need when I get a feeling like I want to wear something moonwatchlike outside the house that isn't my Strela.  

For the novelty factor of the Moonswatch, I have a chinese...homage.. $30 Moonswatch in my box of things I dont wear. It's as "nice" as the  "real" one, to me. I won't be wearing it outside the house (or inside the house, for that matter), but it may be fun to look at again in a few years.

Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

They should have samples for you to try on in store. I’ve bought it both ways now: in store (couldn’t handle them) and from the Fiat 500 Summer Tour. For the latter, we had to go to an office, where each customer’s choice was already bagged up snd ready to go but they had four models out on display that you could handle. It was a nicer experience than the in-store one.

I like the watches but I’m not keen on the straps that come with them so I swap them out. As a side note; I happened to be wearing my Jupiter on a distressed suede strap when I picked the new one - the sales people noticed and commented how cool it looked then asked to take a picture for the their social media (I’ve not seen it since).

Swatch can kiss my flat a**. Sell them online and stop with this nonsense. 

They could but I don’t think they will (to either)
