More pub to feed the hype beast!

There was 108 available watches at the Metrotown Swatch Store. The manager gave signed cards to the first 108 people and sent the other 500+ people packing...

Manager of Swatch Miami Beach told me they received 220. They started lining up last night, and wrapped all the way around the block. Lol

Make that guy in the red top a honorary DWC member.

Also, I haven’t seen Stussy gear in 20 years!

It feels like they need to pivot to making this available online soon, so avoid this madness. They got their desired press.

Pretty crazy. The only other inexpensive watch I can think of that came even close to this was the release of the Timex Q a couple of years ago. But that was pretty much all online, so you didn’t see the lines like this. Just a few months of being shut out at retail and ridiculous second hand mark-ups.

I can't wait until some watch modder company makes a stainless steel case and plexi crystal for these.

Or someone takes a speedy movement with dial and all and retrofits it in these cases...will probably need to be a new casting, just noticed the pushers aren’t in the same position.

Apparently a stabbing at the Swatch Store in NY....

What a shithole.

Did that actually happen? I don't see any news to that effect.

I was at Mardi Gras years ago and saw people almost come to blows over shitty, cheap plastic beads. I remember as a kid seeing the news about parents fighting each other over cabbage patch dolls or mugging each other for Air Jordans. Before Covid, Black Friday fist fights happened every year over big screen tvs.

People are nuts about this sort of stuff. It’s pretty sad.

I literally lol’d.

This is the text associated with the above pic. Yeah, who would have guessed that a cheap ass watch would have a crap strap...


Taken from another group, but is it really now worth 380aud for something that's doing this?
Original post text:
Crystal upon unboxing had scratches all over it. And the dye on the planet seems to leak into your skin. Honestly the watch feels super super super cheap. It is super cheap but not worth $260USD. A GA-2100 is way more worth it. But if you’re into the brand go for it. Overall not impressed.
Backstory of the colour leak: Went to a party, and temperatures were hot so moisture got to it.
Straps also feel like garbage. Would rather have rubber. The watch itself is so light…
You’re really just paying for branding. Do I expect a high end quality watch from this purchase? No. I expected the quality of a $260 quartz watch. This is not it.
Is this a luxury watch? No. It never will be but in this case they got you with branding and sold you a swatch disguised as an Omega for double the price of a regular swatch.
It’s a cool collab and but overall it’s underwhelming and not worth what the hype says it’s worth.

The color bleeding is crazy. I hope the guy who paid $5000 on eBay enjoys it.

[dnslater]

Yeah, the color bleeding is funny... but I still want one. Nothing a single pass NATO won't fix.

Yup. When the fever subsides, I'll grab one for $260

^^^ lol that pic

I've woken up with a few crumpled dollar bills, a hell of a hangover and that exact stain before, although it was on the back of my hand... The girl next to me had most of her teeth, so i guess that's a good thing?

I don't really want one of these any longer after the guy's description and the pic above; kind of a POS, no?

I’ve seen some videos. It’s a plastic watch with a plastic crystal, a cheap movement, weighs 29 grams with a cheap band and bad dye on the back. Yeah, I would say it’s a POS. I mean it’s a swatch. Should have been like $125 at best but they slapped an Omega logo on it so I guess that’s worth another $135.

I will reserve judgement until I handle one and evaluate for a few minutes.

Cheap feeling and light with a crappy strap, I get. The color transfer thing shouldn't happen at any price though.

[Mr_Pacman]

There don't appear to be any lug holes like a traditional swatch with a friction pin. Does this use traditional spring bars?
