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

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!

Good find. I didn't realize they were selling these online now. Mission to the Moon used to be one of the harder ones to find at the stores. Now you can order it online! Wonder how they picked those four as the oniy ones to sell online? Moon / Sun / Mars / Earth

I got tired of mine pretty quickly and sold it, but if you can accept that it's just a fun toy watch and not expect more, they can be enjoyable.
