[Swatch] I know y'all hate these but... It's rather pretty... It's become precious to me (alien.top)

I said to myself that I'd try and get a Neptune just to be a bit silly. You know, plastic watch with plastic crystal in funky color. Horribly loud quartz and misaligned hands. And I finally got one and I stuck an Omega strap on it.

But I was driving my daughter to Starbucks (blegh) and I noticed that the blue is really quite pretty. The shade of the blue on the dial is almost like a Tardis blue! And the warm reflections on the acrylic crystal reminds me of my hesalite.

I think I might really like this, after all...

I am not a fan of what other people think… If you like it, and it makes you happy that’s all that matters… I think it’s kind of nice

I don't hate the watch. I hate that it's plastered with Omega and Speedmaster when it's neither.

Lol

Oh but it is, and that’s why it’s awesome.

I just hate how Omega is above Swatch on the dial, when it should be the other way around lol

[–] Outrageous-Horse-701@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It is indeed a nice looking watch. Why care about what the haters think?

I like my Pluto and I it’s functionality is good for a cheap daily I enjoy it.

I've got Mercury. The only opinion of my watch that matters is my own. I think it's great.

A watch is a personal item. Enjoy it and don’t worry about others opinions.

[–] ethanwc@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They’re cool. Don’t listen to the haters.

[–] Ishouldjusttexther@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t hate them, I hate when people compare them to an actual Omega

My gf surprised me yesterday with one and I understand the comments now. Definitely feels cheap. Already have a small scratch on the plastic glass. BUT, I still really do like it. Just wish they chose better materials

Such a cool watch. Is it comfortable? I heard a lot of comments about the strap that's the only thing

[–] kosnosferatu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

And now with a rubber strap! It's actually dirt cheap but fits the case really well!
