What's your favorite moonSwatch?

Ok I know the moonSwatch might be controversial to some. But I bought into the concept from day 1. Truth be told, I even waited in line from 5:30am on opening day to try and get one. On that day, I was prepared to to buy any one that was available. But I came away empty, about 100 people away from getting one.

Since then I had put the moonSwatch on the back burner. As I've already owned a Speedy for the last 9 years it wasn't a high priority. However I always felt that I would buy one when I could walk into a Swatch Boutique and pick up my first choice, which is the Mercury.

That day came about a week ago and I'm very happy with it. It's a fun watch for what it is and gives me a Dark Side of the Moon kind of vibe.


So I'm curious about what others think of the moonSwatch and which one is your favorite?

Interesting question! I really think the Mission to Mercury and Mission to Moon are the coolest looking, but since I already own a real Moonwatch, I'd never consider these two.

The only Moonswatch I'd like is Mission to Mars -- nice tie in to Alaska Project.

I've bought two, but not for myself. My cousin likes them so I bought him a Mercury and then a Moon one (apparently those are hard to get). I personally don't like them as they feel very cheap in hand. I don't understand the hype. Both times I bought them the store employees took photos of me for some social media hype probably...pretty lame (Paris Louvre in Feb and Paris CDG in June locations).

the Moon appears to be the most sought after

I wanted either Mercury or Earth. I had the chance to buy both while in Warsaw last October. ( I tried all summer in various cities while on holiday in Austria and Germany without any luck)
I bought the Earth version as I liked it more in the flesh. I wear it quite often and I still like it. Would I buy another one? Yes, depending on how well my current one holds up. I have no intention of owning more than one at a time and only if I get a decent life out of the current one that I own.

So far, I am pleased with it.

How about the bare arsed brown eyed. Moonwatch?
They could even make a scratch and sniff version!

That rubber strap looks good. 👍 What brand is it?

I'm probably in the minority, but I like the look of the OEM strap. I think it suits the fun personality of the moonSwatch. However it initially felt uncomfortable. So I switched to an Omega NATO and loved the way it looked. But I wanted to give the OEM velcro another chance. I found by swapping the strap ends, the strap became very comfortable for my wrist. The added bonus is that "Speedmaster" now sits right side up from my viewing angle. 😀

I honestly just wish I could get my hands on any of them…

I much prefer mine on this aftermarket orange strap.

Mercury for me, from the KOP boutique, on black NATO

I have a Jupiter. I like it for what it is, although I wish I’d got a different one. Mercury or Neptune for me. The Jupiter is ok, but the beige case is a bit flesh coloured for me.

I’ll get one of those 2 eventually. I wear mine on an old speedy Tuesday strap I have - the oem is absolute crap.

What are all those empty spaces in that watchbox?
Take all your money and set to remedy that sad situation by going out and buying more watches,
