I don’t get it, what is so special putting a Miyota premium movement on a vintage case and dial and charge 4x times as the price of the movement. The precision of 15/30 sec per day for that price? For these price get a real Swiss watch ( Tissot/ Reveue Thommen/ …) with a better movement for the same price. There you have +/-2 sec for ETA / Selitta or the new LPM with higher power reserve.
Definitely for small-medium to large. Straps that are 105/65mm will most likely not fit or will be tight depending on where the lug holes are situated.
People don't get it, it's not meant to be a serious watch, it a fun collaboration, it's a creative move, go see what variety Casio or gshock has with resin..people shouldn't s*hit on this collab
Actually the lateral clutch is considered by many a plus since it leaves most of the movement visible. Patek for example always use lateral clutches on his high end pieces ❤
It is naff looking, like a wee toy watch you'd get in the 70/80's or out of a christmas cracker. Sort of thing you'd pay £5 down a market or car boot sale.
there are a lot of imitation crocodile/alligator leather that have irregular patterns as well so what other ways are there to tell if its genuine croc/alligator or just calf leather with embossed pattern?
Hello! I just have a QQ: just got the same watch, and I noticed while setting up the time, the date changes at 1am not 12am. Do you have the same issue with your watch? Thanks!
Mine changes 10 minutes before 12. There will always be a tolerance for date change depending on how the hands were set. At this price point for a mass-produced watch, it's expected. Even expensive luxury watches can have the same issue, but more uncommon due to stricter QA.
Thanks for the quick reply. So, this is not a cause for an alarm? lol I'm actually thinking of bringing the watch to a boutique to be checked. It's usually 5mins before 12 or 5mins after for my other watches, but 1am is a little far off, don't you think? @@Relozo
Here’s the fourth thing to know… It’s an over priced plastic toy. For $400 you can buy a bunch of iconic watches from reputable manufacturers that will last you for many years. If not a lifetime… Or you can buy this plastic hunk of crap…! That’s the fourth thing to know pal
I love how Swatch advertise their bio-ceramic and recycled fishing net straps as eco-friendly, but at the same time sell us a watch that isn't repairable!
Technically this one is, as the watch isn't hermetically sealed like other System51 watches are. If Swatch or an independent watchmaker are willing to take a look at it, it should theoretically be possible to replace any faulty parts.
It's true, lotta reviews don't mention it but it has a snap case back so technically you can remove the movement or replace it. But will probably cost as much as the watch itself to do either and by the time you'd want to do that (like in 2 years) I'm sure the rest of the watch will be completely shot. It's like servicing a Seiko 5, you technically can but no one does it.
I didn't buy the moonswatch because it was made of plastic, and this one looks no different to me, so I'll just pass again. Now waiting for 2024 collab with Rado, and 2025 collab with Breguet to see if they still go with plastic.
Even without considering the humiliation of having to wait in line for hours without knowing if they have enough stock, $400 is too much for this. At $200 it is worth it.
It’s nothing more than a cash grab. Take a watch that you sell for $200, put a posh name on it and sell it for double the price. No different than putting some Lambo badges on a Golf GTI and saying ‘Look, it’s a Lamborghini’. It shows just how stupid we have become as a society when we revere the name more than the actual product.
I think that goes for the whole upper end of the luxury market. Designer bags like Dior, Hermes and Chanel would probably have $50-$200 worth of materials and charge thousands.
