Not my kind of thing, but pretty cool for sure.

I'm sure they'll sell a lot of them, they're kinda neat looking but, for me, it would be like getting the airsoft version of an Alchemy Arms 1911 ... so, no.

I don't think waiting in line will be necessary, looks like it won't be a limited model. I kind of like the idea of G-Shockizing the moonwatch for the plebs, but maybe that's because I'm a G-Shock fan.
The Mercury, Saturn, and Sun look cool IMO.

I’m gonna get in line. Swatch says my local store will have them on release day. Mercury and Moon for me.
I'll also be at the local Swatch store when it opens on Saturday. The Pluto is calling my name.
I could see having one of these, either the Moon or Mercury. I still have my original Swatch someplace.

That one is rather attractive!

In store only, look's like there's only like 5 places in the US to buy from.
Not willing to travel for a $300 quartz watch because it looks like a manual wind Omega but if there was a Neptune one a half hour away, I’d definitely get one.
Nope. My first watch as a kid was a late 1980’s-era swatch with the crazy colors and geometric patterns you’d expect, so there’s quite a bit of nostalgia there. I’m also a big Speedy fan, but the combo just strikes me as odd and gimmicky…much like I remember the 80’s and early 90’s being, actually…
These strike me as not quite a Swatch and not quite a Speedy. Can’t put my finger on why, exactly. They just aren’t doing it for me. To be fair, my favorite Speedmaster to actually own and wear is the older Hesalite Speemaster reduced, so take my tastes with a grain of salt.
