No comments? I guess we can pronounce the MoonSwatch craze over.

Are these worth buying? I kind of like the idea, but afraid I will be disappointed.

Well, it’s a little plasticky, but it looks nice to me as an Omega Speedmaster owner and fan. Under $300, what can go wrong? Much nicer than other Swatches I own.

I like them! They are fun, simple and works well for most occasions.
Just got a mission to earth myself |

I gave up trying to get one & refused to line someone’s pocket with profit on the resale sites
Are these readily available now ? My head says put the money into a nice seiko or citizen |

Genuine question, are these still being sold new?

I bought mine at the Oculus Mall’s Swatch store, one block from the Freedom Tower, in NYC. They had most Speedmaster MoonSwatchs and most Blancpain collaborations, too.
They limit sales to one of these watches per day per person. |

Someone got a promotion at Swatch for thinking of these collaborations.

4 models are now for sale on Swatch’s website
Ordered and received a Mission to the moon within a couple of days. I wasn’t sure that I would bond with a Speedy, but this Moonswatch has proven me wrong, Guess it’s a matter of time before I buy a real one- the white lacquered dial has the inside track. Boss move- buy a crystal protector on Amazon for $7.50. The crystals scratch quite easily.
Cheers! |

Just bought a Mission to Saturn and a Mission to Neptune from a mobile Swatch sales stand at Gateshead Metrocentre. They had the full range available and there was no limit on the number of watches you could buy and some people were buying the full set of all eleven watches. Demand for them must have collapsed if they're having to promote them like this. I just bought the two, they're a fun knockabout watch to go with my 3861 Speedmaster.

The hunt for these is fun, and I always check the Swatch stores when I am in a city that has one (my home city does not).
Great to wear when a fancier watch is too much, or when damage to a nice watch is possible. Not all the models appeal to me, but I hope the Super Blue Moonphase will still be available/reintroduced as it was only available for a short time. Collection current includes Moon/Mercury/Jupiter/Neptune/Lava.
