The Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary watch came out over two years ago now (on October 5th, 2020, to be precise). However, as you know, the delivery of these watches is slow, and I got mine in early 2022. As the deliveries are still ongoing, I thought it would be nice to share my experiences […]

Great photos and a nice read but " long-term " ?
One year is barely a long-term period as high-end wrist watches should be pieces of longevity par excellence, passed on to the next generation!
IMHO the best Speedies are early to mid-1990s with 861 movement... bought mine in 1994, worn as a daily beater, it ran without any problems until July 2016, when it needed its first (and thus far only) service as I couldn't wind it any longer... that's 22 years !
3861 ? Well the future will tell ...

I assume you get the gist of it, Phillip. Normally we review watches that are brand new or not even delivered/released yet. So in that regard a watch that I’ve had for a year can be seen as long-term. I also believe it is more interesting to read reviews of modern watches, exactly for the reasons given in the article (teething problems with new products). Reviewing a watch that is 22 years old and long discontinued doesn’t make much sense in that regard. It can make a nice story, but that’s something different.

Of course, as I enjoy "vintage" I'm a bit biased but don't forget:
Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy was worn during 2022 Axiom-1 spaceflight mission !
