I’m waiting for the release of the ‘Cow Jumped Over the Moonswatch’ with an image of a cat playing a fiddle on the dial.

See an awful lot of these being worn around London.

Must admit they do look cool though. Which is obviously the point.

I'll have to try and get to Swatch next time I'm working and have a proper look.

Sounds like availability has improved now the road men have moved onto the next hype product?

Yep, and I'm saying this wearing my Mercury (yesterday I wore the Jupiter and my Moon ist still NIB) ...
I will still be buying the real Neptune when I get one at retail price, since the DHGate one doesn't cut it.

Due to their light weight, I really like wearing them during summer. Regardless of yet another special edition that obviously is just taking the piss, they are fun watches and a fun collaboration! Being limited in availability and having to hunt for the watch adds to the desirability, imho.

All of these are readily available now, with the exception of Neptune.

I rather like it. Cool, funky and fun. I'd wear it, and I'd certainly buy some as gifts if I didn't have to jump through hoops, but lack of online sales kills it for me.

Carefully checked website



My local “stockistl, after gawd-knows how long, still doesn’t carry stock. Bored of asking.

Was Mission to ‘Mark’ on the official website?

I saw this recently, on one of the official press images for Mission to Moonshine Gold the watch had a Mission to Neptune strap visible. They (the news outlet) were commenting on how it suggests that these latest models weren’t planned, or have been rushed through to stoke the fire.

It’s a special edition and it’s a hype. Part of this is limited availability and that it van only be bought in a few places.
That is part of the fun!
Oh yes. so much fun visiting my 'local' shop - 100 miles away, just to see if they happen to have the correct colour battery powered massively overpriced plastic watch I would like...

Can't phone to check stock, can't reserve online.

I don't want a fake but I'm tempted to import a load and bang them on marketplace just because swatch have pissed me off so much. wink

Took the one I bought for my friend to redbar meetup last night. Had maybe 5 or 6 people ask me about it. Amazing how much interest there is in them still.

Can I ask where you got the strap? I don't have a watch for it but that is exactly the strap I am after!

After discussing with a mate last night who was wearing a Saturn, wandered into the Cologne Swatch shop this afternoon on what has seemed like a fortnightly “you never know” visit and finally, finally they had stock of a decent range except for Moon and Mercury. So I picked up a Jupiter as Frau GenX likes it.

Buyer beware - they’re €260 in Europe now,

I paid about the same in Krakow last month.

Wonder what the current U.K price is from a Swatch retail store?
