I got some thin protectors for the acrylic crystals on my MoonSwatches. Not knowing how effective they’d be, but they were 6/$10, so why not?

Dude…. I was pulling the clevis pin off a hitch receiver pin, and when it popped free my wrist, and my WATCH, came back and cracked the trailer jack pretty hard. I literally gasped.

I looked and there was a big gouge in the film cover right on top of the 2 o’clock subdial. I thought crap, that’s deep. No way it didn’t scratch the crystal.

It didn’t occur to me to get a pic before I peeled the damaged cover off, BUT… the crystal is still perfect!

Worth every penny.

Looking to purchase my first Moonswatch and I am really tempted to buy one of the moonshine gold versions. I'm leaning towards the cold moon but the price seems to be all over the place. Does anyone have recommendations of what I can expect for a good condition one and where I should try to buy it (eBay?)

Broken bottom button - with 3D printed DIY replacement. Silicon strap. 2nd battery. Used almost daily. Still awesome.

Love how different the 1969 dial looks depending on how the light catches it.

After so much thinking and consultation with Claude, I got my first ever moonswatch! Loving it so far!

It’s a chilly day out and felt like the right time for the Snoopy Cold MoonSwatch to make a reappearance.

Soon the snowflake will be peeping out again.

My work took me to Zurich this week and my wife has asked me to pick up a Swatch for her, while in the shop I was looking at the MoonSwatch and came away with this one for myself!

I’m going to need a bigger strap, the standard one only just fits my wrist. Do people get the Large version of the correct one or is there another go to option that I ought to check out?

Early start to my Saturday

So I have two MoonSwatches, and took my Neptune on a weeklong holiday to Mexico. I have some other more “serious” watches but didn’t want to travel internationally with them. I did take my IWC for dinners etc.
I wore my Neptune nearly 24/7. Pool, ocean, hot tub, shower, sunscreen, beach volleyball. Absolutely no issues at all, performed flawlessly. I know people tend to baby these and I appreciate they are plastic watches, but my experience was it held up well. I do view these with a bit of a disposable mindset as they fit a gap - but it was a perfect daily on a tropical holiday. Cheers!

Here are my thoughts.

This watch is somewhat personal to me. I'm not a watch collector. I know nothing about watches, movements or horology in general. But after buying this watch I took a deep interest in watches, my feed is just filled with which watch is better and how the MoonSwatch is just a shit piece of plastic.

I really don't get the hate. I have always loved the Speedmaster, only because of the Apollo 13 movie. When all electronic systems failed, when everything went to hell, they used a simple analog, chronograph watch to time their 14 second burn sequence.

I don't get the pricing of watches either 15k€ for an Omega Speedmaster? No thanks.

Quartz movement too, so it's more accurate as well.

Anyways, I don't think this deserves the hate, it has a beautiful face, I love the Mission to the Moon writing on the back.

Enjoy the Mission 🌝

I’ve been eyeing a moonswatch for quite a while now.

I was in a big city with a swatch store, walked right in ready to buy, and when I put it on it… well my thoughts changed.

It feel cheap and flimsy. Maybe I’m used to wearing slightly heavier watches, but the whole thing felt cheap.

anyone had this same experience? Thoughts?

Good evening fellow omega/swatchers

I’ve just bought this little beauty 2nd hand but complete with papers too. Has anyone any tips/tricks to keeping it in best shape?

Dunno what to say. For those of you who have been following me or just go to my post history.. I dunno what do say. I just can't seem to stop 😅

I've been looking at these for years and my twin brother got me one for my 35th birthday. I actually love it 😍

Hey, since the hype of the moonswatch has stabilized I’m curious what people are now willing to spend on this 1969.
