Should i buy a swatch?
Lately I have considered picking up a swatch, more specifically a the swatch once again. I like the simple design and more then anything I appreciate the history behind the brand, but I am a bit hesitant do to a fear of awful quality.
I am not expecting luxury watch for 40$, but i was wondering if anyone with hand on experience with the watch whould recommend it?

I hear they are loud.
No day feature, but can I interest you in a Casio MW-59?

I recommend that you give them a go. For about £15 preowned on Ebay, you won't be bummed if you discover you don't actually like them. Swatches feel like toys, and I suppose that's what they are. If you want a good quality feeling Swatch, buy a Swatch Irony. Mines been through hell and back and it was the watch that got me into this hobby.
I have one, in fact, the one in the picture. It is okay. It has had one issue with the day wheel sticking and stopping the watch. I did manage to get it going again, and it has been working fine since then, but I would be aware of the build quality. Compared to a Casio, it is night and day.
