Ceramic VS Bioceramic
Even though bioceramic doesn't feel like ceramic, it's still a cool material :) very very lightweight!

Is it really suitable for a watch case? Has anyone drop tested this material to see if it will crack?

In this situation, @Candide3693 is not the hero we want - he's the hero we need.

Personally I think Ceramic is a cool material for a watch case, it never scratches and very light compare to other steel models. Bio ceramic feels a lot like a high quality plastic, I think that's the best material for a moonswatch :)

You know, if I could ever get a Moonswatch for MSRP, I would do a challenge with it against one of the AliBaba knock offs.🤣
It’s plastic.

Yea it does feel like plastic, a high quality plastic tho
I have the bioceramic NASA big bold Swatch and it doesn't feel any less rugged than my resin Bertucci watches. The look is a step above my Timex Gallatin solar, which is resin or plastic and has held up well but looks like it shouldn't, if that makes sense. I think it will hold up better than an Armitron plastic, based on their look.
My understanding is that it's a warm material, that it readily adapts to skin temperature. I think this would mean it has a low specific heat capacity.
It's castor bean oil-based plastic mixed with whatever mineral ceramic IIRC. There are those ceramic knives that always seem indistinguishable from steel to me, so it's not like we're talking milk jug plastic.
