Plastic vs plastic

I had a Gray and Also a Black CasioOak which I returned because I cannot tell the time it is so hard with the hour and minute hands blends with the dial. it looked cool but for a watch a digi/analog that i cannot see and tell time it’s wasn’t for me, I think I got caught with the hype of it, so the Moonswatch for me but if the ticking is as loud as any bio ceramic swatches forget it! Seiko for me 😁

I'm a Casio fan and presently have four in my small collection. I'm also a recent collector so missed all the hype for the Casioak. To be honest I can't see what the fuss is about with them. Some interesting colours but legibility seems to be pretty awful so not for me.

I haven't seen a Moonswatch in the flesh but it seems like a cool idea and I might get one in a while when they inevitably drop in price. I actually quite like a loud tick so if that is one of its faults that's OK by me!

Casioak - hands down..   The quality of the moon swatch is, well...   Not good

I do agree with you on picking the Casioak. Casio is hard to beat for value, quality, and durability. I am curious about your statement on the quality of the Moonswatch. I haven't heard anything really negative about its quality, nor have I seen one in person. Have you been able to see one in person, or have you heard or seen negative reviews of it? Just asking.

A few people online have made these comments - one example

Seems like most of us are going for Casio, which is understandable. I have a real speedmaster, but still have an itch to get a moonswatch (Mars, Mercury and Jupiter). Very smart marketing by Swatch I have to say. You wanna get a moonswatch whether or not you have a real speedmaster. 

The new CasiOak with BT and Solar has made the decision a bit easier. 

Both are fun and playful watches. Quality isn’t my top consideration here. I will probably end up getting both but will get the new CasiOak first and wait until the moonswatch to become attainable at RRP. 

Thanks for posting the video! I hadn't seen this and was not aware of these criticisms. I agree with him on the price point and might consider one if I could find it well below $200, maybe around $150. It would be sort of a novelty piece like my Pac Man watches. 😂

Of the two in the article, MoonSwatch all the way. I wear my watches primarily as a time telling device, so any styling choices that make it hard to read are a no-go for me. 

Casioak
Would go for the new release with solar and bluetooth if you want a black one or the killer yellow. From the first release the grey one for sure, looks killer.
I love the moonswatches too, but I don't see them lasting as long as a G-Shock.

I think it depends on the criteria. Value wise you can't beat the G Shock, especially the new iterations of the casioak. 

I would pick the Moonswatch personally. 

1.  I already have a G shock square
2. I have a Speedy Pro so would be cool to have one to wear in places that I would not no rally bring the original. 
3. I like to collect Swatches
4. I like the different Moonswatch colors

Maybe not the best of reasons but I don't think we necessarily buy watches for the best of reasons haha

A Speedy is my Grail & if you look at my collection, you'll see I like novelty. So if presented with the Casioak, Mars, Moon or Mercury at MSRP, I'd take the MoonSwatch. 

I don’t like either. I finally saw these in the flesh yesterday, and I am very much vindicated in the views I have expressed on the subject. If you want to spend up to £225 on a watch, have you considered a vintage Smiths, or in that case, ANYTHING else?

I am no Speedy fan, or even a chrono fan, but compared to an ana-digi with stealth hands...put me on team MoonSwatch.

They are too different ,  but  of I was forced to choose I would get moonswatch as  I like the colours more 

I was ready to get a MoonSwatch  after all this hype and madness not worth the time and money. theres better watches you can get for that price.
