Half a dozen queuing outside the Edinburgh store just now. Assuming they have stock on the off-chance any locals or visitors are looking for one.

I'm going on wednesday, fingers crossed there are some left!

Went to Swatch on Oxford Street, London today.

They had Mission to Mars, Mission to the Sun and the Pink one in stock (forget what that's called). I picked up Mission to Mars for the Father in Law.

Did a bit of mix and matching with my Sun - would work better with a speed yellow rathe than my signal

Where did you get it from?
Must admit the Mercury is the only one I could see myself wearing longer term once the gimmick of various coloured versions has worn off.

Wife is friends with someone that works with Omega.

I went there a couple of weeks ago - arrived at 6pm and they had everything except Neptune, Mercury and Moon.

They said I missed a Moon by 5 mins! Got an Earth to go with my Sun.

Got some friends on holiday in Italy at the moment so he’s got requests for the Rome city centre and airport stores

I asked about availability in the Glasgow store for the first time today as I fancy the Neptune.

None of the darker colours in but the sales assistant rhymed off 4 models that they did have.

I said you must get fed up of answering the same question, she said that Glasgow get c. 200 enquiries a day via phone, email and walk ins!

Just did 500m of swimming in the pool with my Jupiter. Yes, they are only rated at 3 bar, but no condensation I can see.



I would report if I’d found condensation at a later point. For comparison: my fake £20 Neptune got heavily fogged up immediately after only having been in the toddler basin with the little one (see my post a page or two back).

Got this one the other day and stuck it on a rubber strap.

They look much better on a proper strap.

I’m planning a Neptune on a navy rubber strap. Just need to source the watch first!

[Richtea1970]

Yep, same. I want a Neptune but not willing to pay over the odds so will continue to wait it out!

[MrBig]

Has anyone had any luck finding one of the rarer models on a sunday? I’m in the smoke tomorrow and wondering if it’s worth heading into the west end from South Ken to see if I can get one.

Just joined the fold as wifey bought me my favourite yesterday!

You mean your husband bought you that.

Possibly intended to be amusing, but it really isn't.

In Manchester today. Anyone know if there's a Swatch outlet close by that I can buy one from?

Only at the Trafford Centre…

[James_N]

There was one at the Arndale but last time I went in, they didn't stock the moonswatch. Not sure if they do now!

So I went to the Swatch stall in Trafford Centre.

They had Sun, Mars & Uranus in stock.

Holding out for a Mercury or Moon so I passed.

These three and Venus seem to be the easiest to get hold of, clearly not many people want the ones with the white straps.
