Are we a joke to them?

Yes if you buy one then you’ve fallen for it

I didn't know the strawberry moon was a thing before Swatch made a post about it during this release. Before I read up on the release I was wondering what strawberries have to do with the moon landing to be featured in this edition. 😂

Vote with your wallet. If you don't appreciate the marketing tactics, don't buy. 👍

To answer your question. Yes. We are a joke to them.

I’ve heard of a blue moon but never a strawberry moon.

Don't plan to buy one, chronos aren't really my thing and the two I have see little wear.

'Dat bee-un sahd, I'd rock it.

But I routinely wear sugar skull, flamingos, palm tree, koi, and aloha straps, even in uniform 😂.

Also as discussed in @bulgarian 's recent post about WOE, I'm prolly sketchy-af....😜....so don't listen to me on this....😉😅😬

It just got even worse. I didn't think that was possible!

I can't....

I love it, it's fun, while not being over the top.

This might be the first limited edition Speedmaster that is fun and cool. All those other ones were really bad jokes. Does this one come in other colors?

I'm not a MoonSwatch aficionado by any means and this does not improve my chances of ever being one.

I will unironically drive 7 hours to West Edmonton Mall if they release something deer themed for July. Sorry everyone. 🦌

I like Swatches but not into the Moonswatch, great concept. I received a text a few months ago with an image of an Earth iteration that my iPhone did not identify correctly, I thought the message and photo were from a sushi chef friend who accepted a gig in London England for a few years. In fact the text was from a realtor acquaintance that I met through a failed business event. He and his colleague were instructed to deliver an unsolicited offer to me, learned ahead of the meeting that I was a watch enthusiast. I have a vague idea the kind of income they earn, Moonswatch is pretty frugal. Not about money when it comes to watches.

I actually really like the strawberry. Probably my favourite of the Moonshine gold editions. I would have gone to try and get one if the nearest store with them was closer than a 3hr drive away!

I almost have the entire moonswatch collection except for mission to Neptune. I collect them you see.

For those unfamiliar with the MoonShine Gold moonswatch, it is only on sale at selected shops for one day in a month. The day of a full moon. After this, there is no more forever.

Why Strawberries you ask, well it’s the Strawberry Full moon in June. I queued for it and I have it. $260 is not really a lot of money for a double juggernaut branded watch and so limited. If you say I’ve fallen for their marketing ploy, I would say yes and I do welcome it. I am a watch collector.

Here’s a picture of my watch with the strawberry moon certificate.

Is this plastic gimmick still a thing? How long do they plan to milk this? Even the people I know who bought it have enough of it and don't wear it anymore

Fluff and more fluff …. Pfffftttt ( opinion not stating my opinion is fact ) but lordy you can buy so many better Swatches …..

I’d like to see “ we are mooning you “ version

Given the talk over ‘bioceramic’, I’m waiting for the Paper Moon! Now there’s a case material 😉

Is $35 extra for a goofy second hand worse than $3500 extra for a cartoon dog?

I must say, to me personally this seems like another really bad joke but to each to his own.

To be fair, the 'double juggernaut branding' seems to be quite limited in the other aspects of the watch since it's most definitely a Swatch in everything but design. Personally, I wouldn't pay $260 for one but I can see the appeal of hunting down every watch of a collection, and in the end it's your collection. Wear them in good health.

Oh, they'll milk it as long as they're making good money. Which they seem to be doing now and for the foreseeable future.

I want to dispute this point, but I can't. Fair play.

I would never buy a moonSwatch. The idea of getting a subpar quality watch with omega logo on it feels like I'm buying a counterfeit. If I'm buying a fake omega, I'm sure I can pick up a higher quality fake somewhere on Alibaba.

Thanks for your comment. I guess it’s a matter of ‘to each his own’. Cheers. 🍻

Only difference to the feeling of buying a counterfeit is that it is not a counterfeit. Neither is it a homage and Definitely it’s not a fake Omega. It’s an Omega x Swatch collab called a MoonSwatch.

In any case, I guess it’s still a matter of ‘to each his own’. So Peace my friend.

Btw, there are loads of counterfeit/fake/replica 1:1 MoonSwatch at a fraction of the price. Not sure if they are on Alibaba though. 😜

Haha no way! People are faking moonswatch?!?? People are only making fake stuff because there is a profit margin. So that means you can make a moonswatch for a couple bucks.

And yes I know these moonswatch are collabs, but when you have the brand omega on a watch everyone expect decent quality workmanship.

Do make a Search for MoonSwatch if you don’t believe. Btw, MoonSwatch is never sold online. Fakes are everywhere, there are even fake Casio F91w that cost 10bucks for the real McCoy.

Also do take a look at the size of logos. Omega would take them off the shelves if they themselves didn’t approve of the quality. Sure they could have been arm twisted because Swatch owns them, but for me, if it’s good enough for Omega, it is good enough for me.

Cheers mate.

What. The. Fuckisthat
