Fun little watch for casual weekend / beach duties. Was on the fence (still am to a degree, when a casio does it just as well for less). That said, it’s got character and more practical now on a rubber strap.
I recently realized that the Antarctic is rather different than the other ones. It has no date and a different logo...Know I want one as well
BTW. I find the oem nato straps rather good, tbh. I fitted a cheap 22mm all black nato strap from amazon and cut the double pass loop off, but honestly, I prefer it stock. Unlike the moonswatch, they are rather nice on the straps they come with.
Personally I'm not a fan of the rubber straps shown here... I want to try some tropic and/or perlon straps myself.

Yeah to be honest, I didn’t know there was a difference aside from the colours. Shows how much attention I pay!Know I want one as well

Agree with you on the strap. I prefer the look of the original but from a practicality point of view, the cheapo Amazon rubber is, well, cheap (and dull looking) but the watch is so much more useable with it. I don’t intend on experimenting with other options for a beater but understand why others would.
Picked up an Ocean of Storms at the new Birmingham store today (it opened last Friday). No Snoopy’s in but everything else apart from the Netptune Moonswatch.
In two minds whether to keep my Arctic Ocean. Will see how I get on and whether I still wear all three, but I do think the black of the Ocean of Storms goes better with more clothing.

They had one at the Mall in Orlando for $400, should I have bought one?
That's RRP.At the Millenia Mall? That's where I bought my Indian.
There would have been tax on top, so it would have been $426 (or £340 assuming you use a card with a live rate and zero fees) - guess it depends if that's reasonable to you.
How available are these now? Particularly the Ocean of Storms. I go away next week and there is a Swatch shop in both Birmingham airport and also Palma! Would love one for the holiday! They are about £20-30 below retail on eBay but as previous poster said, have to be careful with fakes and so would rather pay the difference to be honest and be sure its a genuine.

Nothing on display, but when I asked they got me one from stock.
What can I say, it's my birthday, I was weak.
Off to look at alternative straps online now....

I got mine in an airport around February time, and I love it. I bought a black rubber/silicone strap for it though. I really didn't like the NATO strap.
I wear mine all the time. It keeps excellent time and has easily more than 3 days power reserve if you take it off for a few days. I'm very pleased with mine.
