Omega Moonswatch VS Blancpain x Swatch Scuba - Who WINS?! 

Great video, as always! Which Nato strap did you put on your MoonSwatch? I am having the same issue with the velcro star on mine.

Swatch. Swatch wins! ;) Hahaha, loved this video Harrison! My first reaction to the Scuba was..... to hate it.... Like all watch geeks do. But you know, I think this is a really smart move.. Plus, if it gets more people excited about the Fifty Fathoms, that's a win in my books! :)

I picked up a Pacific Ocean recently. It is a cool, fun watch and something I can share with my son who is into watches too

youre gonna be big bro! love the videos!

OMG Harrison that's a risk you testing both watches haha. Great comparison as always.

Thanks! Good to see them both together. Your style is all Adrian! Are you mates? 😊

Chisholm, A good and informative Vid..

Hi Harrison, would love to hear your thought on the newest Blancpain x Swatch ocean of storms 😊

Fellow watch nerd here. I have exactly these same 2 colours as you do!

Harrison if you turn the velcro strap 180 degrees where the Omega logo is at the 12 o’clock side lugs and the Swatch is at 6 o’clock side of the watch, this will make the whole wearing experience much more pleasant because it fits smaller wrists better that way. You’re welcome 🤯😂👍

I picked one up recently (Atlantic Ocean) and also owning few Moonswatch. I was not quite sure if I wanted one in the first place but fould myself in the Swatch shop again and pulled the trigger. Actually, you get more watch for the money compared to the MoonSwatch, especially a storage box (not cardboard) which is super nice and you can store any watch in there - maybe nice for travel too. Aside the Sistem51 could run up to 15-20 years, with 90 hours (almost 4 days) power reserve. Certainly looks more legible with much better loom than the Moonswatch and I love the date which none of the Moonswatch has. Overly impressed and whoever says its expensive, consider buying a 5K alternative and servicing it for 2-3 times the prize of the BlancSwatch every 5-10 years. 🤓

I bought the black Blancpain x and love it

The Blancpain in white and grey is the best looking. The black shading on the inside of the green and yellow versions make the actual 12-6, 3-9 dial appear even smaller, but the white dial doesn’t have that.

Great comparison. I like the MoonSwatch and since one year and a half I am collecting them. I have bought one Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms and the quality is obviously much better than the MoonSwatch. More expensive than the MoonSwatch but automatic and water resistant, a big improvement.

Not a fan of either of them. They are both disposable watches to some extent. Moonswatch better as quartz movements can at least have a new battery. I feel they should be treated as collectibles or souvenirs of the originals, not timepieces as such. 100% do not buy these as your only watch, but okay as a collection piece if you like it.

Hmmm which plastic toy is better? Knowing how tough I am on watches the answer is Gshock. If Adrian Barker can break the pusher on his moonswatch then these things are not child proof.

Actually you can dive with that BlanSwatch. It’s water resistant to fifty fathoms (91m).

Blancpain 🏆 🙌🙌

Greetings from Belgium! I was at the Brussels Grand Place on the release of the Moonswatch, and the line was across the entire square and down the street. Though I believe they only released approx. 500 on the first day. My heart was a bit broken, but I'm kind of glad it was (in hindsight). Yesterday we went into Brussels for some shopping food and drink and saw the new Blancpains on display at Swatch. Went in, and the gentleman showed me the collection along with the black "Ocean of Storms"...maybe the boring replica but the one that had my eye from the start. We went and had a beer at a little hidden place we routinely visit, and my wife said I should buy it. So we went back and I did. They only had 50 pieces originally and only 14 left, but surprisingly no line, but it was the watches everyone was looking at. The couple bits of info I think that are left out is that the lum is "Grade A Super-LumiNova" and it has a sapphire glass on the rear. I gave it a good light shot around 11pm and at 6am this a.m. it was still faintly glowing, but enough so to make it legible. I am not a fan of quartz watches unless they're solar mostly because I don't like to change the batteries, and the 90hr power reserve is the longest yet. Not on par with the real FF's 120hr (I believe its that much), but I'll take it!

Great video

Would be great if you can do a little investigation and find out if the Blancpain version is serviceable (I assume change the movement)

What happen after blancpain swatch movement die? can you replace it?

I would buy neither but save my money for a new Timex GMT, cheaper and better looking.

From seeing the lines swatch wins everytime

So Harrison - what do you think the Swatch groups next inspiration will be "the seven summits" perhaps ? (And moonswatch just edges it)

Really wanted the. Blancpain x Swatch, until i actually saw one. Each to their own, but massively over priced. Can;t help chuckling at the number of them on eBay at stupid prices! 🤦‍♂️

"The nato strap is pretty good for the money"??? $400 for a plastic watch. They could do better than a $5 strap.

SwatchPain.

went to a swatch store this weekend and was able to see both collabs.... the colorways for the blancpains are the dealbreaker for me... so i got the moonswatch...

I want swatch x rolex

For me it's hard to tell. MoonSwatch can't be repaired but quartz movement will last longer. BxS has à plastic movement andnd if it can be replaced that could be cool. If it's not and both of them can't be repaired. Both lost.

It is just a fun and rather disposable watch. You pay for the design and that is it. The movement may not be servicable but it will last you at least 5 years. Can you buy a mechanical watch for less money- yes, you can. Then again, you do noy buy this watch to be your daily wearer. You buy it as something fun, colourful and a bit out of the ordinary. Overall, I think it is a nice watch.

Got thevocean of storms... blancmoonswatch.... lol

Id rather be seen with an invicta pro diver

Omega

Most important info missed, Blancpain auto is non serviceable and may onky last 3 to 5 years, then in the bin

Both disposable

Seriously it’s £340. About the price of 2 decent tyres for a car, 3 decent meals in a restaurant. Less than the going rate for a service of most automatic watches. Why are people obsessed with the what if? Do people buy a £340 auto timex and think the same thing about servicing it. I very much doubt it. Honestly its the same copy and paste comments about plastic etc… Just enjoy it for what it is and if you can’t then it’s not for you.

umiga

A lose lose situation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who wins? Swatch. They're laughing all the way to the bank after getting thousands of people to over-pay for poorly made, plastic, throwaway watches. There are much better qualty starter watches available for much less money.

just save the money on both for a real watch I would say.

Mechanical movement 100%

Hmmmm overpriced 💩 watches. I guess ill let all of the folks who think 400 dollars is just some "cheap fun" enjoy thier toys. My G shock was 52 dollars at Wal Mart, is an actual tool watch, incredibly accurate, has been too the moon on the wrist of space explorers, and had a 24 ton truck drive over it to still be ticking. I geuss i cant judge people for buying this watch, have it break a month later and than just say "oh well, it was only 400 dollars of cheap fun 🙃🙃🙃

Do people still buy the moonswatches? 💀🤡😧🥴😟

Really they are both crap but the moon swatch is better crap in my humble opinion I wouldn’t buy either though

Nobody wins

Swatch really outdid themselves this time, they successfully made a watch that's worse than the Moonswatch! Once the plastic movement dies, so does the entire watch.

Kids watches

Not watch enthusiasts

Toys

Both bracelets are simply horrible 🤮

None.

No one wins... Overpriced Toy watches that won't last a year..
