MoonSwatch - Which Planet Do You Prefer?

I know the MoonSwatch is a controversial topic.

But if you had to get one, which would it be?

I like the Moon and the Mercury...all the others leave me earthbound...

I want the Mission to the Moon and Uranus, but can wait until they’re readily available for sale online.

I like Uranus but I'll probably buy Saturn and/or Jupiter once I can buy at retail from my couch.

according the swatch IG stories, the Moonswatch will not be available online. Swatch stores only.

The blue version is my favorite. I believe it's mission to Neptune.

I personally talked to the manager of Swatch, SF, where they were released this past Saturday, and he said they would be available to order online, in 3-6 weeks.

Thanks for sharing. Something to keep your eyes/ears open for is that people on YT have been posting that the back of case color wears off onto your wrist. More so, if sweating… just sayin’

MoonSwatch - Which Planet Do You Prefer?

Mars (I am lucky enough to have one - at retail!) - I love the nod to the Alaska Project (and makes me want the Alaska Speedy even more!)

Then the following order:

Uranus
Saturn
Sun

But …

…. Love them all - will probably buy all!

No watch snobbery here.

Mercury and Jupiter for me.

Having said that, I have heard that these are no longer coming online, Swatch stores only.

I saw that. It may have been just the dye used in the bright blue model. If not, Swatch will have to fix the problem, before their next shipment to retailers.

Mercury or the Moon but I know the more colourful ones will likely be most popular.

Will think about it in 6 months when they are available online and there is more feedback available from people who bought and have worn their watches for some time.

Why would you have to get one?

I go back and forth. First it was going to be moon. Then it would be Mercury. Then I thought if I have those I may as well get the real deal, the $7k speedy. Then no something more colorful, earth. And now I'm thinking I don't need another watch, let me just wait to see if this urge goes away.
