Swatch "Sir Blue"

[RMDB9]

Opinions, anyone?

Expensive given the very basic spec. Can’t help thinking it shouldn’t be more than £19.99 really.

My kids have them (or something very similar)

Pros:

Lightweight
Thin
Day date
Highly legible
Easy battery change

Cons:

£65 is stupidly expensive for what it is
Very loud tick
Plasticky (obviously)
Weird strap design prevents changes

I like them, iconic design.

Obviously swatch SA are making money but I wonder if the market for swatch themselves has gone a bit with people wanting just to know the time getting Apple watches or fitbits etc or using their phone and others more into watches getting something more expensive?

You're probably right.

Im using Swatch and FlikFlak watches to get my daughter into the appreciation of watches - its amazing how many kids can't even tell the time using a clock face.

Thank you.

Any views on this particular model?

Not much to say, fairly standard Swatch by the looks of it.....ubiquitous day-date movement, easy to set, legible, accurate, durable enough when care is taken not to scratch the plastics. Might wear a little small for a lot of people, but no bad thing in my eyes.

I do like a Swatch!

It’s a kid’s starter watch.

It’s a swatch, looks like a swatch, iconic design, probably very reliable.

Not sure what else to say tbh.

I’ve got one and I like it. It’s versatile, unassuming, lightweight and accurate. Perfect for my holidays, London and golf. Checked my online receipt and it was £38 in June ‘16 so there’s been quite a hike to the current £58. It’s had one battery change since I’ve had it.
