Don't Buy The MoonSwatch! - Pagani Design Moonwatch V3 

If Swatch hadn't made such a hash of keeping up with demand I'd have fallen for the whole thing, and would now be the disappointed owner of a £207 plastic toy. As it is they've saved me from myself and my Moonswagani is on its way now. I can't wait!

Moonswatch = $40 plastic swatch with a $220 Omega symbol on it. I'll pass.

It's nice to see this alongside the original. This version 3 is definitely what this watch should have been from the start. It has a couple of little niggles, but for the price you can't really complain too much. I absolutely love mine.

After watching your video I bought a V3. I absolutely love it. Some have commented on sharp bracelet's edges. Honestly, it hasn't been a problem for me. I had to remove 6 links for my 7 inch wrist. I have good night vision, and while not world class, I've had no problems reading the time in the dark. This watch is easily worth more money than the asking price. If this watch carried a Seiko or Citizen brand, it would sell for much, much, more. I got mine from Amazon in 2 days.

I bought this watch and it's amazing! I don't know how they can sell this watch for so cheap....the case is well polished and very good quality....doesn't scratch easy...and keeps great time! Very reliable!

About 10 years ago I brought a citizen Chronograph for about £200, this watch knocks it out in every area , Sapphire compared to mineral, better movement, even better strap all for a third of the price.

I managed to buy the MoonSwatch from Taobao for around US$90.00 for my son last week (I live in HK), it arrived and I totally understand why so many channels are praising the Pagani Design over the MoonSwatch as both of them can be had for the same money. The MoonSwatch is cheap plastic and it's like a toy and I wouldn't seriously call it a watch, it is very very light and cheaply made, I for one will never buy another Swatch because they're taking the piss by deliberately making it hard to get and allow the scammers to push the prices up.

I took delivery of the V3 a couple of weeks ago. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering buying one. It's a gorgeous piece, and amazing quality.

I have just stumbled on this watch and it looks amazing. I love the look of the moon watch but no way I could afford one. This is beautiful.

Why people fell for that Moonswatch is a mystery to me. It's made of Plastic, Vinyl, and a cheap quartz movement on top of piss poor quality control. It was as light and fragile as a toy watch you might get from a bubblegum machine. It was nothing but a money grab from both Omega and Swatch groups. Pagani has been consistently making great watches with good quality and materials.

This was the best video iv found on this watch! Thank you

By coincidence I received my Pagani Moonwatch V3 yesterday. Very nice watch for the price. I was eying the Moonswatch but was put off by the pricing and the materials used. And if the movement is typical swatch as I remember from my youth it will keep me awake at night...

Mate, I’m not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but what a treat to see the PD up against the real thing in the shape of your Omega. Cracking video and I hope it does well for you.

I was lucky enough to receive one of the first v3's off the line, and I've not been disappointed by it yet. There is hardly a better deal on the watch market right now. Add some flashy straps in rotation on your v3 and you have a MoonSwatch killer at a fraction of the price.

Really great to see a proper look at the V3

If they ever release a 'V4' version with slightly bigger subdials and a nicer font, I'm in!

Can't wait until my 1701 v3 arrives. I thoroughly enjoy your watch reviews!

Thanks for the video! The Omega Speedmaster is my grail watch. I had a bit of weakness and gave into a purchase yesterday. I have a SINN 556 A RS on an H-link bracelet coming in tomorrow. Still will be saving for that Omega!

There's no comparison to the original here but they've done a really solid job, definitely their best attempt yet. Also way better value than most of their other stuff.

Whats your opinion on the white face with black sub dials? I'm not sure which one i should buy.

If you swap out the end links of each bracelet with both watches , do they line up and fit??

I just received mine and I absolutely love it. The case and bracelet edges are sharp, but I will be filing them down a bit.

Thank you. I bought one with the black leather strap with white stitching, its very nice. great contrast. Thats quite a thick Scottisg accent. I stationed in Dunoon Scotland for several years @ Holy Loch.

Great video. Do you happen to know if we could get this exact V3 especially with large white hands very readable BUT with the OMEGA logo ? Does PAGANI DESIGN as well furnish the replica market with its watches ? I heard several people saying it but lost the link and name.

This seems like a vast improvement, I already have a moon watch homage (albeit the Corgeut), so next homage purchase likely to be to the aqua terra, any suggestions? I like the omega swatch collaboration but they have handled it like chimps and it now looks like an exercise in greasing grey market minkeys pockets, not a good look and undoes much of the PR glitz it came with.

Hi Jason good to see you back .love the omega.i have the pagani white faced one.nice watch.i have tried to get the moon watch but I'm not paying £600 from eBay!! Got one from Ali express £40 delivered to the UK it's not bad !!great video keep it up.cheers

Wow. Great to hear your take on this homage since you own the real deal. This definitely feels like a better buy than the MoonSwatch. Looks like they got the bright white on black contrast right. Love the mecaquartz too.

I got a Pagani speedy. Awesome watch! Perfect size Beautiful and well built

Just bought, I was going to get the moon swatch but you review shows this as far better value

Great review, Pagani are definitely value for the money. I think all these homages are showing up the original brands that they can do better on there pricing .

How is the weight of the pagani compared to the original omega?

I put my V2 version on a steel mesh bracelet because I wasn't able to size the supplied bracelet small enough for my skinny wrist. I don't dislike the V2 enough to get a V3. Good review. Looks great on NATO.

I got one, And better than a Moonswatch ...its metal! And a lefty sprite thanks to your great reviews. I also work as a dental technician and polished off the sharp corners and edges - in short they are brilliant! keep up the reviews!

What a great looking Pagani. It was nice to see it next to the real thing too

I bought one.you are reviewing v3. I like the Daytona homagebought previously but like this one better and wear this one often.

I've seen some reviews saying this has a long bracelet with only a few adjustments. I have a teeny-tiny 6 1/4 inch (160cm) wrist. Did you have any problems adjusting the bracelet to fit?

I already had version 2 and now I added version 3 I was already very satisfied with version 2 ... and this version 3 is really progress In addition the Seiko movement is really precise ... an advance of 1 sec / month is fantastic and considering the price! The only downside is the finish of the bracelet which remains the same as version 2 I solved this problem very easily on both with arm oil patience and very fine sandpaper The other type of Pagani that I like is the "Daytona".. also a success from them For "bioceramics" I find this an overpriced joke!!

So Chris, you've got a Phylida Speedee. Which do you like better, the Phylida or the Pagani?

Awesome review, thank you

I like how the date is a bit dim. That way it does not distract so much (symmetri wise).

I picked up a mission to mercury from Ka De We in Berlin. Still in its box and I've ordered a PD1701 v3 to wear as a beater. My current watches: Seiko Speedtiner (panda) Seiko 5 SNKL23 G Shock 2100 1aer (casioak, metal) G Shock 200 1er Swatch mission to mercury and a 20 quid casio.

Thinking of picking this one up. Where I live I can get it for about $74 or £62. Just a bit wary that Pagani watches sometimes have QC issues, mainly misaligned chrono hands and their bracelets leave something to be desired. But overall, still terrific value if you get a good sample.

The Swatch is harder to get than a Rolex so I bought the Pagani gold green 1701 model. Forget Swatch, Pagani is better and is 1/3 of the Swatch price. Their customer service is excellent.

What's the lenght of a square side on your table cover? I want to get an idea of how long is the bracelet at the minimum size.

Again my v3 .... Apparently ? Doesnt gave the 2 all important 12 clock dots. .... Surely all v3 are one of the same. No v3.5 etc anyone know why some v3 lack the dots ? 😮 Strange

I'd love to see a head-to-head with the Phylida (and Omega original, of course).

In my opinion the Phylida model SP-31 is the nicest Speedmaster homage out there. Between the more accurate dial layout and the Seagull ST-19 movement it's hard to beat. Yes, it cost more but that beautiful movement alone makes it worth it. It can be a little hard to aquire but they are available, you just have to be patient. I own both the regular and the TinTin version.

Great review. Just subscribed. The Omega is also my grail watch but I can't afford that price tag. As such, this Pagani does come close enough to scratch the itch. 😬

Hi Jason I also have the alpha moon watch that's a very good watch have had mine for over 5 years no probs cheers.

Do the uncle Seiko end links fit the pagani ? . Great review as always .

I honestly love how you pronounce casing and Jason so that they rhyme.

The moonswatch isn't an unlicensed homage tho. I appreciate homage watches (I used them to "try out" watches before buying my first Rolex) and I understand that many people simply are not in a position to buy a luxury watch. it's a bit different when the price is nearly the same.

The Moonswatch may be total phenomenon, especially for the Swatch fans. Power to them if they feel that it is worth what they payed for it. But at the end of the day the only thought that goes through my head is what other quality watches I can buy for the same price or less. I also got the Pagani Designs Moonwatch V3 from the Trendy Men's Watch and my opinion I must say that the value it offers is SUPERIOR over Swatch's Omega endorsed "toy".

Awesome review, thanks for that! The whole video I was thinking, why on earth is he talking about an Amiga all the time? Then I realised you we're saying: Omega haha. I was laughing out loud for what an idiot I am. Thanks again!

Nice Speedmaster. Such an awesome watch. The pagani is nice but nothing beats the original 😅😊

Great review, interesting to see how close they are considering the prices are miles apart, but you can still see how different it looks side-by-side even though it's only small changes like with the curvature of the bezel and others. Also will you review the Benyar Royal Oak? I'm a broke college kid from Indonesia so I don't think I'll be seeing myself buying any homage watches(or originals really) above 40 USD this year, or any recommendations for homage watches around that price maybe? Because I know I'll be buying a Casio sooner or later.

Not bad then! Tbf... I think this is the way V1 should've been (and why I haven't bothered before to get one). Mine's arrived in the country, looking forward to see it in person. Air-King next I take it.

The swatch situation is nuts, I'm not impressed at all by what they've done.....however the star of the show here of course is the PD and they've done a great job....I'm conflicted by the date window, personally I'd rather they didn't put it on there and as always the branding, it would look much better with just the stylised logo....are these deal breakers, not at all....this is a fantastic looking piece at a bonkers price....although we all love mech and auto these VK movements are extremely impressive and I'm more than happy to have a good balance of quartz/autos in my collection....I believe it's time we see some colour variants, yes black is sleek but bright orange or yellow would be insane.....what would look absolutely amazing would be a similar purple to the VB you recently reviewed....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

Is there an easy way to know I'm getting a V3 vs. V2/V1? Thanks

As ever a great review. I think I would love it on the black strap? But that’s just me I like the moonwatch but the price is far too much for me. As Mr Spock said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few live long and prosper.

I think the omega swatch has had its moment. Shame it was not better.

PD 1701. USS Enterprise of Star Trek was 1701. Nice touch Pagani. And an awesome watch. Much better than the plastic toy watch.

Are you sure the Uncle Seiko bracelet doesn’t fit? Watch channel WR4K says it does?

I'm already have a Moonie (and I won't tell you what I paid, but it was a super bargain), but as much as I think this is a sweetie, I just can't get past the VK movement and that useless 24 hour subdial that I can't even use as a GMT. Plus, the mecha-quartz is a bit tubby. That said, this is an excellent review. Keep it up!

Hi, Jason. I bought the v2 gilt 50th anniversary Speedmaster homage about a month ago for $80. Absolutely enjoy the watch! Wore it for a week straight after it came in. I highly recommend it. As for the mystery Pagani, I’m guessing it’s either the Air King homage or the Milgauss homage. Amirite? 😉😁👍

It looks much better with the white hands, I used to own an original omega moon watch the only memory I have of. This since I sold it due to paranoia of damage /theft is I wore it at my daughters wedding. I now have the pagnani not worried at all now but wished I’d had known they were releasing it with white hands.😧

Can anyone confirm, does the bracelet have screw links?

When compared side by side the Omega is on a different planet (or moon) but PD have made a very good effort.

I just picked up the V3. It'll be here tomorrow. Did the fact that it's model 1701 and I'm a big trekkie influence me? Maybe. Honestly I kinda hope they do their own versions of the other "moonswatch" colors. Mercury and Neptune in particular.

Hello from Frankurt Jason! Just found your channel. Excellent reviews. Subscribed.. Ok, I got the moonswatch. I'm embarrassed to say I lined up to get one. And you know, it's a piece of plastic rubbish, it feels like a toy watch, if your shirt cuff is too rough, it scratches the crystal which is not hesalite but some cheap polymer. Also, you can check "moonswatch colour leaking onto users wrists". If you get a bit of sweat, you will have the back case colour on your arm. Excuse my English but these moonswatches are an absolute piece of recycled sh*t that should have stayed in the recycling bin. Even the movement is the very cheapest one euro Ronda movement that is sealed and unrepairable. And it is not even hitting that minute marks. The watch probably is made for 5 euro. If this was for sale on Ali Express without Omega on the dial, people would expect to pay maybe 10 euro and give it to a child to play with. I advise, even if you can get one don't bother. People paying big money are just crazy. Even the 250 euro price is 240 euro too much. Excuse my English is not perfect, so I hope I am understandable..

It is funny to think that buying an extra link for your Omega probably costs more than this whole Pagani watch lol. I don't usually do homage watches but I bought the PD version 3 and liked it so much I bought the V5 as well.

It’s not for me, but I think PD are on to a real winner here. For the price you can’t argue that it packs a hell of a lot in. I think it looks cool on the nato…better than on the bracelet. I never come into close contact, let alone handled, an Omega so can’t compare the two, but I’d be more than happy to wear the Pagani. I never took you for a MoonSwatch kind of guy 😂

Anyone seen any hands on/reviews with the gold version yet? Torn between it and the pagani rose gold Daytona.

I never thought I’d say this but it looks better on the NATO. Maybe a sailcloth band?

Upcoming Sale? When is that and is it an AliExpress site wide or just Pagani?

Lovely on Nato tbf

Saw this vid coming 😁 need me a moonwatch .... either Pagani, Swatch or Bulova.... eff it maybe all 3 🤪

I wonder if it‘s really 10bar water resist but damn. Under 100€ chrono with (synthetic) sapphire?! That‘s hella value there!

Jason-love your videos. I have an idea regarding moonswatch review. How can I contact you?

Much rather have a Pagani Design Moonwatch V3.(I'm glad they did not put a cyclops window over the date). For the most part, Pagani Design bracelets are not that great. The MoonSwatch is a sealed case watch front and back.....a $60.00 watch at best. That's what happens when one company owns the other.

The Omega MoonSwatch is an Omega in name only! The movement is a disposable Swatch movement that can't be serviced.

Jason did you see the new Timex Pan Am watches ??? Just got the Chrono version ! 😮😮😮 Wow !

Just ordered one after watching a few reviews, I think it beats the moonswatch hands down, if you pardon the pun. I will get a genuine piece one day, as the moonswatch has certainly heightened interest.

Seems like it's gone already. Wanted to check out the price - yet I can't find this Modell anywhere on Ali. Mind updating the link? 🖖🏻

I have the watch and love it. The bracelet unfortunatly is so sharp that it is hard to use

Received it last week amazing watch for the money, I was actually considering the Moonswatch until I saw a review where the box it comes in managed to scratch the plastic crystal 🤦🏻‍♂️ that's when I knew it was a joke. Save yourself the money and disappointment and get a Pagani. The only downside is the bracelet is not the best it scratches and pulls hairs.

The question is...am I going to cut my fingers when I handle the pagani? Their finishing isn't great.

Thumbs up alone for the title of this video

Your Omega is a stunner

Nice review .... My gf said you could do with a manicure tho lol

Ha ha ha .... I've just gotta have laugh at those watch snobs out there that always poo poo the Homage watches . They would rather go out and buy a cheaply made plastic Homage Moonwatch , I say Homage because it's not made by Omega 😂 and that the colour comes off on your wrist as well .... than buy a solid Stainless Steel Homage with Safire Crystal & solid 5 link band & rock solid Seiko movement ! I know what I'll be buying 😂😂😂

I've read other posts where people are disappointed with the 'Moonswatch'.

I was drunk and ordered it for no reason. Arriving today! lol

I bought 4 of them for resell They are Awesome watches Seiko Meccaquartz is a reliable workhorse.Moonswatch is far over-priced due the Omega that means nothing Its only Swatch.

Are you gonna review the green version

Can we see in the back of each.

I hope what I ordered is quality. My last one. My 6th shouldn't be worst .lume is garbage ok but make the watch head good 🙏 please

The Uncle Seiko fits

I believe in terms of what you can expect from a Pagani Design to the Speedy it doesn't get any better now. One side note: really don't like the Speedy's hesalite crystal! 😏

Thanks for the review. I say forget the MoonSwatch AND Pagani and go for a Bulova Lunar pilot. More trusted brand, better specs, legit moon-related provenance, and greater originality.
