Hi All, maybe its not a well kept secret but I had a pop up on yahoo for the swatch website, Now I know I can be a bit of a brand snob sometimes buy at least three or four wathes I thought were really nice, Aorund the £ 120.00 mark which I didnt think any Swatches were that expensive but I feel enlightened! smile

I was disappointed when I saw/touched one in real life that I'd seen online and had liked. It felt very plasticy - although it was only £50 or so. Do they have any weighty/beefy watches?

If you like the idea of seeing a range of swatches on the web, go to www.squiggly.com

They've got a huge range of refurbished and new swatches, some at very decent prices.

I got a Black Motion : http://www.squiggly.com/swatch/p/product/i/1542/co...

Its simple, sure it doesn't feel expensive, but its a nice little basic watch that looks quite good, and I won't particularly bother too much about it getting damaged.

I have a "Dark Phoenix" (silly name) for general knocking about. It's a nice enough watch, available for much less than the Squiggly website suggests, but the convex 'glass' does seem very soft and marks easily (particularly the date bubble).

> Gompo: Fair bit chunkier than others in the range - maybe 39mm dia. and 12mm thick?

I still have one of the limited Jean Michel Jarre editions in its case.

Wonder what its worth.
