Just a backstory.

I am trying to get into watches. I dont have much knowledge. I’ve picked up a couple of seikos and im in love with them. I got gifted this Omega moonswatch, and its a beautiful timepiece.

Is there something I need to know about this watch? What is your guys opinion on this particular timepiece. Also, do you recommend if i change the strap?

Personally, I wouldn't give someone a watch that, when it breaks in a couple of years, won't be fixable.

Oh really? Are they not reliable?

No. They're plastic. Wear it around the house and stay away from door frames.

It's a cool novelty item. It's like a weird kind of design homage done by the brand itself. If one is looking for "a watch" though, there's obviously better options. But that's really not what this thing is about

Just to state an example though. In my country, the Moonswatch goes for well over retail, about as much as a Seiko Speedtimer Panda, and twice as much as a Citizen Chronograph with a very well-made case and bracelet (for its price), out of super-hardened Titanium, and with a rock-solid Eco-Drive movement. But then again: They're really just two completely different kinds of things, and it doesn't quite make sense to compare them as competitors.
