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(:

As people said, it’s a great and fun watch but slightly overpriced because of the hype. Swatch makes quartz plastic chronographs that are half the price because they’re not a MoonSwatch. Then again that’s the whole point, we like it because it’s the MoonSwatch.

There’s been some issues, as there is with anything mass produced by the millions, but overall quality is exactly what you’d expect for a Swatch. Baby it a little more because it’s plastic but generally it will hold up fine. There’s 20 year old Swatches out there that are still ticking along. I’ve had my MoonSwatch about a year and haven’t had any issues.

Don’t pay a premium but get one at MSRP, they’re a real fun watch.
