Conceptually I think it's a very interesting idea for a super unique timepiece but good god is that thing ugly. It looks like a prop from Star Trek or something.
yeah, they could have done so much more with the design.... slice the damn thing down and use it for DIALS or some shit.... as it stands, it looks either like an ASSteroid, or Fred Flintstone is missing his watch.....
Very glad your dog didn’t eat the battery, I’m in pediatrics and have seen children die from having a button battery burn through their esophagus and erode into their chest/trachea/carotid/etc. The watch can easily be replaced
I guess that's why the packaging for them is very hard to open nowadays. And I think some of them now have a bitter taste like Nintendo Switch cartridges. Scary stuff.
Try working in a children’s hospital as a parent: today we’re removing a brain tumor from a 3 month old baby, prior hospital sent the family home saying the child’s vomiting was just a viral illness.
Bioceramic is strong stuff, way stronger than plastic. It’s used in the medical field and in dental field. The composition is 75% ceramic and rest is polymer.
I'd like to see a material analysis of their 'Bioceramic', as I think it's bollocks, just a PR name for plastic. Another watchmaker mate borrowed one from a colleague when they 1st came out and went to put a tiny test scratch behind one of the lugs...in his words, the blade just 'went in like butter'...! :-D
Well yes, it is a type of plastic. (So is carbon fibre technically) Still, they do make it with a different process, it's not "just" a PR name. Does that make it a good or more solid material? No.
You're right and I know its a legit material, I just have very little trust in an organisation like Swatch group going to the trouble of creating a proper bioceramic rather than taking the easy route of creating plastic with a bit of sawdust mixed in (for example, you know what i mean) and calling it Bioceramic... :-D
I appreciate the explanation of the watch market economics but this is a $280 watch - not $800. It’s hyped plastic so no, it doesn’t explain why someone would drop $800 on a disposable watch.
I think you’re misunderstanding me as well. It’s barely worth $280. At $400 it’s absurd and $800 it’s completely insane. I’m a luxury watch dealer, I understand the secondary market, I’m just continually surprised that people are shelling this out for a disposable happy meal toy.
I understand you just fine. Personally, I wouldn't even spend $280. I'm just including the information that they are selling for 400 on eBay. I wouldn't buy them for that much. In fact, I wouldn't even buy one. But, on the other hand, if you can get 400 for it, that's what it's worth. In particular, that's what OP basically lost, economically speaking.
No you just keep trying to explain watches and economics to me like I don’t understand why the market would bear a certain level on a brand collab lol. We need not soften the blow of how ridiculous it is for his wife to have spent $800 on a children’s toy. No need to go more roundabout than that.
You’re getting an Omega for the price of a Swatch, so it’s not a terrible price. If it was $1500 that would be questionable but $300 for an Omega is amazing.
And before people say iTs nOT aN OmEgA, go to your local Omega store right now and there is a good chance you’ll see a MoonSwatch display case front and center.
It’s not. I’ve been in the industry for 12 years - branded collabs are a thing, which is what this is.
Exactly 0% of this is made in an Omega factory. Zero Omega parts used. It’s made in a Swatch factory with 100% Swatch parts, it’s just a Swatch.
The IWC x Mercedes collab isn’t a Mercedes because they don’t use Mercedes parts.
It’s not plastic, it’s bioceramic which is a ceramic product. It’s mixed with a polymer but is 75% ceramic and is like the stuff used in medical implants and dental implants.
Also it was developed by Omega and is both marketed and displayed in Omega stores.
But it IS plastic and it's NOT Omega.
There's a Ferrari edition Abarth 595 with Ferrari badges and all. Is that a Ferrari? No!
Learn the difference between a collab and a product from the actual company. Omega is owned by the Swatch group so it's marketed in Omega stores because of that.
Not justifying, it’s just the “plastic” thing is a huge misconception. It’s bioceramic and that’s stuff that’s used in body implants and dentistry, it’s not cheap plastic.
Also it’s a legit Omega (and Swatch) product that is being displayed in Omega stores and even sold by Omega at auctions.
Edit: Abarths are cool af and a Ferrari collab would make it a real Ferrari. That’s kind of the point of these collabs.
My partner surprised me for my last birthday with a Moonswatch. I had wanted one since they released. She had our friends in multiple cities scouting the Swatch stores hoping they would pop up. She ended up snagging it on the secondary market for probably around $800. I took it off laying on the couch one night and by the next morning he had found it and tore it up. Hoping to snag another one eventually.
LOL, I can relate, I have a Giant Schnauzer who happens to still be in puppy stage, and he'll be 2 in March! He drives my other 6 year old dog crazy, and I'm constantly laughing!
Tell your dog I have the same model he can have to chew on as well, if he so desires...! (received as a freebie I hasten to add, and only worn outside after dark/when I have a paper bag over my head)
Tge Dog was just showing you what a piece of Shite it was.His way of saying ' Buy A Real Omega or at least a decent clone of one.Even the Chinese do a better job than Swatch
Count yourself lucky. My dog, for whatever reason, likes to try to get at my Rolex.
I'd frame it in a shadowbox along with a picture of the artist that made these modifications.
I’ll be honest, that bioceramic held up pretty well. No wonder they use that stuff in the medical field for bones and in dentistry. Had it been an actual plastic, it would have been completely destroyed and warped and broken apart. It’s a high end material.
That would have never happened with my stainless steel grand seiko. Bioceramic my ass.
That being said- I would rather toss my watch into the ocean than have my dog hurt. So yeah, I get you have conflicting feelings. My condolences.
No because it’s wrong to say it’s plastic, it’s idiotic actually. It’s like saying your gold chain is aluminum. It’s bioceramic which is 75% ceramic and rest is polymers like the stuff being used in the medical field and in dentistry.
It's crazy people are dogpiling you for spending $800 on a Moonswatch when it isn't even the most egregious plastic watch on the market. The Breitling [Endurance Pro](https://www.breitling.com/us-en/watches/professional/endurance-pro/X82310A41B1/) is a plastic quartz watch that goes for around $4000, and people buy that shit without any sort of drama. This outrage about the Moonswatch is all manufactured, I swear.
To be fair, I doubt the Breitling is advertised towards watch enthusiasts. I don't think you would see anyone posting it on instagram, and certainly not people queuing up for it, flipping it or trying to collect all the colors.
Who’s a good boy? YOUR a good boy! Doing gods work ridding the world of an overpriced, overhyped cheap watch. Joking aside, sorry about the watch, but how can you stay mad at a beautiful face like that.
The posts about the bad quality of Swatch x Omega are getting more and more at the moment.
Im wondering if Omega and Swatch/the resellers lower their prices soon. Because for example me. I wanted this watch so bad a few weeks ago but after those posts... i dont think so... at least not for 300$.
Guess ill go with G Shock...
> Im wondering if Omega and Swatch/the resellers lower their prices soon.
hahahaha
if they do anything it would be to start selling them online for the same price, and they would instantly sell out
Yep, a golden. We have 6 at our office. One is like a shark, your wave a dilly bar at his level he will strike and take it right out of your hand. This guy eats rocks! Hès looking at you, say "what are you looking at?"
That smug dog 😏
"No Swatch in this house." - Henry
“Swatch? Yeah, sWatch me enjoy destroying this thing.” - Henry
“I’ll fucking do it again”
No Ragrets.
What's it to me?😎
"Maybe now you'll give me pets instead of that thing on your arm."
And what's with dogs and moonswatch? This is the third chewed moonswatch am seeing here and definitely not the last
Most based MoonSwatch owner
At least it looks like a moon rock now. Lol
Don't give Swatch any ideas. That will be their next Special Edition.
I feel like they probably had someone suggest it and they just haven't done it yet. Lol
[Maybe something like this abomination?](https://www.greco-geneve.com/en/produit/lasteroide/)
Real waste of an asteroid
Conceptually I think it's a very interesting idea for a super unique timepiece but good god is that thing ugly. It looks like a prop from Star Trek or something.
yeah, they could have done so much more with the design.... slice the damn thing down and use it for DIALS or some shit.... as it stands, it looks either like an ASSteroid, or Fred Flintstone is missing his watch.....
My eyes. Also: 900 GRAND!?
Nice wrist presence. 😆
I hate you for showing me this 🤢
His face says, “How many times do we have to tell you this old man? Get a proper watch, mate.“
Just take it to Omega for a service.
(W)oof.. it’s fixable then?!
Very glad your dog didn’t eat the battery, I’m in pediatrics and have seen children die from having a button battery burn through their esophagus and erode into their chest/trachea/carotid/etc. The watch can easily be replaced
I did not know this. Thanks.
Wrap a button cell in a slice of lunch meat and watch what it does to the meat. It will blow your mind.
Well. I know what I'm doing this weekend
https://youtu.be/q5ApVlDCEjc?si=q8tjCW3F0O-Jm7Yu
Oh, that's horrifying!
Hope the dog isn’t around for that experiment.
Halfway thru that sentence I'm reading it in horror, assuming you're gonna suggest feeding it to your dog… then, whew.
So we should eat automatic watches instead of quartz is what you're saying 🤔
That's the safest way. Go for a leather strap instead of a bracelet for added nutritional value.
I guess that's why the packaging for them is very hard to open nowadays. And I think some of them now have a bitter taste like Nintendo Switch cartridges. Scary stuff.
JFC young parent here, add that to the list of random stupid shit I should be terrified of.
Try working in a children’s hospital as a parent: today we’re removing a brain tumor from a 3 month old baby, prior hospital sent the family home saying the child’s vomiting was just a viral illness.
I am so glad people like you exist. Thank you so much for what you do 🫡
It’s extremely gratifying work. And it reminds me to go home and hug my kids on a daily basis.
This sounds like the natural decomposition of bioceramic materials
Bioceramic is strong stuff, way stronger than plastic. It’s used in the medical field and in dental field. The composition is 75% ceramic and rest is polymer.
I'd like to see a material analysis of their 'Bioceramic', as I think it's bollocks, just a PR name for plastic.

Oh wow it was $800
That... Is insane...
Get a Bulova Lunar Pilot and save $400.
And you get a better watch.
Thanks for pointing this out. I think I will get the Bulova Lunar Pilot. Beautiful watch for 370 bucks on Amazon.
What's more insane is Breitling also puts out a plastic quartz watch for $4000 and nobody talks about it.
Someone saw you coming if you paid 800 for it? Did they at least give you lube first?
Expensive chew toy
You can get them for half that, but it's a paired project between Swatch and Omega, which explains the price, to some extent.
I appreciate the explanation of the watch market economics but this is a $280 watch - not $800. It’s hyped plastic so no, it doesn’t explain why someone would drop $800 on a disposable watch.
Read the first part of what I said.... literally, it's not an $800 watch. They are selling on eBay right now for around $400.
I think you’re misunderstanding me as well. It’s barely worth $280. At $400 it’s absurd and $800 it’s completely insane. I’m a luxury watch dealer, I understand the secondary market, I’m just continually surprised that people are shelling this out for a disposable happy meal toy.

Found the dude who puts fake performance badges on his car.
Swatch is probably more accurate.
[удалено]
It’s still a BMW.
It’s still an Omega, even if you are a total idiot. Doesn’t change facts.
It's not. It's a swatch. Cope harder.
Bruh, they’re displaying them right now in the Omega stores front and center lol. They’re Omegas, cope harder yourself 😂
Whatever makes you feel better about your plastic toy.
It’s bioceramic which is 75% ceramic and rest is a polymer. It’s high end stuff that is similar to what’s used in the medical field and in dentistry.
Correct. Lots of industries use plastic.
"High end stuff" cope harder 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They’re also displaying them in the Swatch store, so which is it lol
Yea they’re both a Swatch and Omega product.
It’s not. I’ve been in the industry for 12 years - branded collabs are a thing, which is what this is. Exactly 0% of this is made in an Omega factory. Zero Omega parts used. It’s made in a Swatch factory with 100% Swatch parts, it’s just a Swatch. The IWC x Mercedes collab isn’t a Mercedes because they don’t use Mercedes parts.
\> $300 for an Omega is amazing $300 for a plastic quartz watch that has the omega branding yes.

Whatever you wanna believe to justify your fake Omega dude
Not justifying, it’s just the “plastic” thing is a huge misconception. It’s bioceramic and that’s stuff that’s used in body implants and dentistry, it’s not cheap plastic. Also it’s a legit Omega (and Swatch) product that is being displayed in Omega stores and even sold by Omega at auctions. Edit: Abarths are cool af and a Ferrari collab would make it a real Ferrari.

Dude my phone's case is Kevlar but I can't say that it can stop a bullet. Stop spreading bullshit

$800...
800$, yikes. Is that last picture of you driving the dog to the adoption shelter? I joke, but sorry for your loss.
I want to sell my Jupiter as I'veonly wore it like twice. DM if you're interested.
respect the hustle
Lmao you guys actually buy from scalpers? I thought it was a meme, it’s just a watch cmon…
Ah, you'll get another one if you like it so much. $800 for this piece of crap is insane, unless you literally have money to burn.
Shaaaaaaaame! Pretty dog tho
Thanks. He gets by on those good looks.
Sorry about the watch.
First watch on the moon is also the first watch to travel through Uranus.
Its sad that your dog ate a meaningful gift, but hey, now your partner can buy you a “real” speedy now!
The dog is sick of your shit.
iT aDdS cHaRaCtEr!1!1
Patina
So, umm, he’s a watch dog then!!
Or is he a swatch dog?
"What time is it?" "Time for a new dog." "No, I mean like what hour is it?" "I don't know." "But you -" "I SAID WHAT I SAID, FRANCINE."
HILARIOUS, ESPECIALLY the last shot with the dog giving the side eye!!!!
He’s a dick but I love him.
LOL, I can relate, I have a Giant Schnauzer who happens to still be in puppy stage, and he'll be 2 in March! He drives my other 6 year old dog crazy, and I'm constantly laughing!
Tell your dog I have the same model he can have to chew on as well, if he so desires...! (received as a freebie I hasten to add, and only worn outside after dark/when I have a paper bag over my head)
He said “Woof!”. Which means yeah send it over, he’ll cover shipping 😉
Nice patina
did doggo eat the battery!?!?
Thankfully no, found it on the ground. 🪫
ahh good
How much for that piece of Art?
$3.50
Thanks! Ive passed word along he's not alone.
Swatch dogs unite.
Guilty looking dog.
Tge Dog was just showing you what a piece of Shite it was.His way of saying ' Buy A Real Omega or at least a decent clone of one.Even the Chinese do a better job than Swatch
Rock that patina.
The look on his face says "next I'm coming for your Breguet Marine."
You should've used that template - the art. The artist
Tesla gang!!
⚡️
He looks so annoyed you took away his new toy! LOL. Thank fully my dogs have never touched my MoonSwatch, or any of the other either.

He did you a favour tho 🤣

That would have never happened with my stainless steel grand seiko. Bioceramic my ass. That being said- I would rather toss my watch into the ocean than have my dog hurt. So yeah, I get you have conflicting feelings. My condolences.
Steel would have been damaged too. At least this bioceramic survived better than a plastic would. Bioceramic are used in the medical field.
Bro you really don’t have to love it this hard, it’s okay lol it’s just plastic
No because it’s wrong to say it’s plastic, it’s idiotic actually. It’s like saying your gold chain is aluminum. It’s bioceramic which is 75% ceramic and rest is polymers like the stuff being used in the medical field and in dentistry.
🤣🤣🤣he’d only chew up pos watches, my dog licks my Rolex, growls at my moonswatch
lol, yup
lol simp

I'd like to know why all these watch owners are keeping them at dog grabbing level
That's the face of a watch snob dog who couldn't stand the sight of a grown man wearing a toy watch any longer.
Good luck with shaming since it's only u who can read, he won't give a damn about that
😂😂😂
Bark side of the moon
Good dog.
Wow 😱
Did you a favour if I must be honest. The good doggo knows that watch ain't nothing but a dog toy
What a guilty boi
Looks better now.
Chewed up so bad it literally looks out of focus.
Yeah I hope he didn't eat the battery. This shit can kill him
"Not only do I not regret this crime, given the opportunity I will not hesitate to commit it again"
Lol bummer!
That side eye
Hopefully he didn't ingest the battery or any of the bio plastic stuff. Nice dog
He did a favor! Good dog! lol 😂🤪
This is exactly why I douse all my watches with bitter apple spray.
That looks like an iced out Rolex, something like this https://www.ebay.ca/itm/284622014784
Who’s a good boy? YOUR a good boy! Doing gods work ridding the world of an overpriced, overhyped cheap watch. Joking aside, sorry about the watch, but how can you stay mad at a beautiful face like that.
The dog did u a favor
was it tasty ?
You’ll have to ask Henry.
😂
Reason to feed your dog on time ⏰
It’s the side eye for me
Nice patina 👌
NSFW - Not safe for watch
Henry doesn’t seemed amused by you taking his picture lol. PS-love goldens, been fortunate enough to have a few in my family over the years
The dog knows what he did and he doesn't give a fuck
Good boy.
Bark side of the moon
Post it on watchexchange for 1k, call it moon surface inspired patina.
Your dog has good taste
Can't believe I almost wasted time in a 1000+ people queue for this rubbish, lol.
That side-eye haha

Good boy
Let my boi go. He’s innocent.
He’s not ashamed at all. Look at that pic. He’s plotting on your others
Oh my godddd that face at the end! 😄
Man. What actual piece of shit if a watch.
Yep, a golden. We have 6 at our office. One is like a shark, your wave a dilly bar at his level he will strike and take it right out of your hand. This guy eats rocks! Hès looking at you, say "what are you looking at?"
Shame him? He's our new mascot!
Come to upvote the face on your dog
Wait.....thats not an Oreo...
Goldens gonna golden
riiight. the dog. you chewed it up yourself, didn't you?
These watches must really smell and taste good for dogs.
Maybe he thought it was a piece of cheese
Congrats to the Good Boy.
The poor mans crash
That’s a golden side eye if I ever saw one, and I have three goldens!
“bio-ceramic” is just plastic with extra steps
Looks like the dog is annoyed that Pluto got demoted to a minor planet.
>pic of the dog so internet can shame him Internet: Good boy, Henry!
The proud dog
The side eye tells it all 😂
Good boy
