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?

I've been tempted to buy this watch a few times. It looks great, but I've heard that the pushers break quite easily. What are the experiences of the people on here who own one?

[–] Easy_Turn1988@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice watch ! Would advise to keep the velcro strap (it's just great)

From my understanding, it's not a great watch (no offense there, it just seems so get scratches easily and be hard to repair as you can only access the battery) but it looks really good and I hesitated to get a mission to Mars.

If you don't have the money it's the closest you'll get to a real Speedmaster, one of the most iconic watches out there, so enjoy !

Personally I love these, I have an Omega Moonwatch Professional and I'm still tempted to get a Moonswatch because they look fun. Enjoy!

We’re calling these things Omega’s now? Not Swatch?

How much did you pay for her ring?

[–] Kamalligator987@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really like them. They’re cheap and fun. Personally I like the more colourful ones, to me if I was going to get a Omega I’d get something more classic. But this is an opportunity to have something colourful and fun for summer.

I got 4 to match different outfits I like them.

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh really?

Which one of the 4 is your favourite? I’d love to know!

[–] Flyersdude17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I have Earth, Moon, Mars, and Venus. Earth cause I wear a lot of blue but also Mars cause it matches all my Phillies and Red Sox gear.

Don’t listen to all the weirdos on here.

The watch is cool as hell.

Bought the mission to mars on my honeymoon.

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you for your kind comment!

I never knew there was that many mixed opinion on this watch.

I love it and it has an amazing presence. I also value it as a sentinmental gift. I hope youre enjoying your mission to mars. Those red accents makes the watch really pop!

Congrats! It’s a very cool watch! Love my moon!!

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much!

Enjoy it!

[–] IncendiaryIdea@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plastic crap.

Cool gift, though, I'd wear the fuck out of it! But I'd never pay its price myself.

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone got their own preferances 😃

[–] BitterrootBoogie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My opinion is that you shouldn't come running to the internet looking for approval after your future spouse gives you a personal gift. Enjoy it and live in the moment. Who cares what strangers think of your watch?

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I didn’t come running for validation.

I love the watch. I am just seeing what other people think about it. Its a subjective topic regardless. Some people like it some people dont.

[–] rj631@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My doctor was wearing it a month ago. Looked good!

[–] Armand74@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Actually love it and planning on purchasing a few, the only thing I would change though is the band, that’s what I plan to do when I buy one..

[–] sendep7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

its probably a good "first" watch if you are starting a collection. At this point its a bit of a meme watch. But i'll tell you. When i started i had a Quartz Casio duro...and smartwatches.

then the moonswatch came out, before that i wasnt really aware of the speedmaster and its history and heritage...so i read up on all of it. I've always been obsessed with the moon landings since i did a report in highschool. Well of course the moonwatches were sold out and i didn't wanna pay scalper prices. It started eating at me, and i started obsessing. Long story short, i went to an Omega AD, and bought a hesalite 3861. Since then i've aquired other "space" watches. Lunar Pilot, Murph, Gshocks. I have my eye on the X33 skywalker. so yea...for me the swatch set off my watch collection, even though i still dont own one.

Already did broski

[–] jdead121@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If you like it you dont need anyone on reddits opinion. Nice watch.

[–] Cocainutella@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Someone doesn’t love you… /s

[–] ethanwc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s lots of haters.

I love it.

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Appreciate it🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

Surprisingly a lot of haters

[–] genghbotkhan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Change that strap immediately! It's a sweat trap. Also you'll need a protective film as you only have look at the acrylic crystal and it will scratch. I bought from The Strap Brothers

I have an Omega Seamaster (think Die Another Day game) and the Mission to Uranus. Yes, there is an obvious difference in quality but dang it, I love my little Omega/Swatch watch.

Congrats on the engagement and good luck on keeping money in your wallet with this new obsession!

[–] cmonsta365@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love these and want to get the grey/red one. Great watch for the price.

[–] nmkd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's okay, but the plastic is a joke for a $300 watch.

[–] Markhor1988@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Otherwise-Emu-7363@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These watches catch a lot of (imo unwarranted) flak. I think they’re snappy. Congratulations on your engagement and enjoy your new timepiece!

[–] Vegetable-Ad-9324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much!

And yes, unfortunately
