MoonSwatch Super Blue Moonphase

A MoonSwatch to commemorate the Blue Moon.

It looks pretty nice, IMHO!

Per the article: “The sale will run from August 1 to August 19, but will only be exclusively available during what Swatch calls the “blue hours” i.e. from 5pm onwards. Available at selected Swatch stores and pop-up locations, each customer can purchase only one watch per day per location.”

It does look nice, but … straps are not comfy for me, and the pushers are ready to fall off any second … great concept, looks nice in a photo but not rough and tough enough for me ..

The moonphase subdial looks really weird and throws off the symmetry of the dial IMO

Wish they came in a smaller case size as my 5yo son would love that!

I like the colours. However, I don’t like the lack of balance with the moonphase.

I like it and want to add it to my MoonSwatch collection.

Will it only be available Aug 1st to the 19th, or will it be more widely available after that period?

I agree the moonphase subdial looks weird, however the contrasting sub dials look really cool.
