So, I know these #watches were panned when they were released. I think too many people thought that it was #Bulova trying to cash in on the #Moonswatch. But, I didn't see it that way, I thought the idea of doing ocean themed #divewatches made a lot of sense. Even the idea of doing them in ceramic with rubber straps that incorporate recycled garbage that's been pulled out of the ocean made a lot of sense.
The thing that didn't make a lot of sense was the pricing. They were priced as if they were Moonswatches, which they weren't. Now, if they had a Precisionist movement, then the pricing would have made sense -- at that point it would have been a bargain.
However, a year later, and things have changed. Bulova has dramatically lowered the prices of these watches, making them much more in line with what they should have been in the first place. So, I picked up the Blue Whale #Snorkel watch to see if I liked it. And, yeah, it was very nice, so I used some discounts I had available and purchased the Sea Turtle and Seagull watches.
To me, these are really great casual, weekend wear watches.

Why I Dislike the Royal Pop
(and it’s incestuous cousins)
Yes, this is a hater post. So what? I’m allowed to hate the Royal Pop, just like you are allowed to inexplicably love it.
Why do I hate it?
First off, it’s plastic. It’s designed to not be durable; to not last. In a world that is growing ever more lenient of the disposable and temporary (which apparently includes people), do we really need another god-damned knick knack destined to end up in a land fill?
Second, it’s an expensive piece of plastic shit. $400/$420 for these bag charms? You can find and buy multiple watches made out of actual metal for the same price. Actual metal watches that will potentially last decades and generations. But I guess the rich need something to waste all the money on that they refuse to pay employees or in taxes after already being able to actually afford a $20,000 Daytona they’ll rarely use to it’s full potential. Not fake afford, actually afford.
Third, last & most importantly, to me; Swatch seems to be going all in on the plastification (it is TOO a word! 😉) of their watches and brand, and even other brands! It feels like they don’t care that they are allowing Omega to rot faster than the organic material surrounding their disposable watches in the world’s landfills. By devoting money, design effort & resources to these bIOceRaMiC Happy Meal toy abominations of watches, they are just killing off an iconic brand. Is it any coincidence that Omega has slipped to third in the Morgan Stanley report behind Cartier after the introduction of the MoonSwatch & just before the Swatch x AP collab? I think not!
Comment or not. Makes no difference. Too many people are too distracted by the hype machine to actually think past the end of their fucking noses. Keep telling the Emperor his non-existent clothes are great, folks. Are watches THAT boring to you that you go ape shit over a little color? Or are people just that uneducated about watches to think these are worthy of the hype?

Mi piace ricordare che il signore in questione non era presente all'incontro con Trump della delegazione svizzera (dove #Rolex ha omaggiato il Presidente USA con una sua creazione d'oro) perché aveva evocato l’imposizione di contromisure invece che la sottomissione.

I learned about this earlier today... Still, don't know what to think about this... #MoonSwatch #Watches #WatchNerd
I don't hate pink on a watch, for example; the Nomos Club Campus in pink is absolutely gorgeous. Same for the TAG Heuer Carrera Date in pink.
But this the Pink Moonswatch feels like a just another cash grab....

It’s time for Swatch to stop releasing new Moonswatch models and sell online
I’m all in on the Moonswatch, I’ve been thinking about getting one since launch but then there’s the problem - you can’t easily get one. I’m lucky enough to own a Speedmaster, I wear it almost everyday but I want something that has the history with no worry about getting it stolen or serviced. Swatch has again released more models…
-
I had some time to kill in Berlin's airport a couple weeks ago and that led to browsing the Swatch shop, learning they had Moonswatch models in stock, and then of course purchasing the Mission to Pluto model.
I love it! It's my first chronograph and so of course I'm timing all the things. My only problem with it was the velcro strap. I didn't like the branding or the fit.
Today I got two replacements from Delugs and could not be happier, they're great!
-
Anyone in my feed own a Moonswatch? I’m thinking of making the trip to a store, about 2 hours away. Wish they would just sell them online. #moonswatch

Can recommend this Omega Speedmaster Homage watch over a #MoonSWATCH any day. Also, at a third of the cost and 10 times more quality. #PaganiDesign Two weeks from China. #OneMoreWatch

Big day for orange over here. Painted the front door and got a new watch strap for my #MoonSwatch.

Somebody found out that the fitted rubber straps for the #moonswatch exactly fit the Seiko SARB035 so I had to try it and got one. It fits well.
