I’m quite new to the watch scene but no other watch has made me feel the way I do with this collection, everything visually appeals to me however I’ve only seen negative reviews online. People stating they broke it within a year (must have it on their right hand…). Anyways I’ve been questioning whether they’re worth the price or if there’s anything else I haven’t seen which mimics that speedmaster look for better price and quality. To me AU$200 is a lot for a watch as I appreciate the art more then the brand recognition,thanks(:

They are not bad, I own one and I am happy with it. I just wouldn't recommend one as a first and/or only watch.

Moonswatches are not good for daily wear and can be appreciated more if they are a "fun addition" to an otherwise variable collection. For a first watch, there is tons of better, more versatile and more durable options. You might need a watch you can wear during work, which is waterproof if it rains and can be worn on a wedding as well as on a sandy beach.

If you appreciate the art more than the brand and quality, you will find many great watches from microbrands. Check out some guides online, like the ones from Teddy Baldassarre or Wrist Enthusiast.

Seiko, Citizen, Orient, Tissot and Casio are my favorite well known brands for the "under 500$" range (and you can easily find good ones for under 200$).
