    Also got lucky last autumn - got the moonswatch mission to jupiter. In the first week i already replaced the strap, because it really wears off the velcro very fast. After some weeks i realized that this watch is not a daily beater or a regular. Sold the watch for around 330 euros - which was very cheap for that time and bought myself the pagani copy (or hommage if you want to say it) and a casio ae1200. Never looked back to the plastic Moonswatch...

    With the Sea-gull, it's the joy of owning a real, column wheel mechanical chronograph movement, based on the swiss Venus 175. It's not based on logic, but passion. I, too, was looking at alternatives including mecha quartz, but they're just not the same.
    The St1901 movements are reasonably reliable, and mine is quite accurate. I had the crown snap off due to being damaged in shipping and the after sales service was quite good as they sent me a new crown and stem which I got within a week. No doubt I won't have any problems when I order a new movement come the time for service. Incredible value.

A salesman in John Lewis some yrs ago said he always has Seiko watches and they've been very good and reliable. But he told me they had a lot of problems with the Tissot watches they sold in the John Lewis. And I've noticed that John Lewis branch doesn't sell Tissot anymore in the shop.

    • @TopTierTicker

      I only say a watch is fully waterproof if it has 100m water resistance or more. This means it can go in the pool , in the shower and capable of snorkelng. Anything below this I do not consider fully waterproof.
      Yes, Tissot make incredible watches. I certainly wouldn't listen to a John Lewis sales advisor who likely knows very little about watches. I personally own 2 Tissot watches and the quality is unbelievable. Never had a single problem with mine. Especially if you buy from an authorised dealer, you will always be covered with a Tissot.

    I agree on the Bulova Lunar Pilot, it is a great watch but due to the size not for everyone and at a significantly higher price (but still worth it IMHO). AFAIK Bulova will come out with a smaller version. As you mentioned the Seagull, the Alpha Speedy homage is cheaper than the Moonswatch but with a mechanical calibre and full metal with a glass bottom. A colleague of mine owns an Omega Speedy but was still impressed how well the Alpha looks and works. My example also keeps time fine. Last but not least, a Bulova Marine Star 96B272 looks great, is stainless steel and does not cost a lot more.
    I initially was really keen to buy a Moonswatch, but now would never buy one as it is just a disposable Swatch with Omega printed on it.

    All those watches loose to MoonSwatch in one major thing - weight. So, I think some plastic Timex Expedition with digital display at the bottom might be better, if they didn't have loud ticking. Or Timex Expedition Field Chronograph, but it's kind of big at 43 mm and probably heavy too. Or Timex MK1 Aluminum Chronograph 40mm.

    Agree. Handled a Swatch moonwatch recently, and it's no better than crap. The debased fighting and flipping that's gone on is pretty tragic. It's a disposable, plastic joke dog turd, that someone plopped OMEGA on to, and people queued up for it.

    Funny thing is, as much as you've shit on the Moonswatch it's the only quartz option with jeweled magnetic rotors. The ETA inside is disposable and non repairable but it does have 4 rubys hiding inside.

      Yes you can, parts aren't the expensive part. The watchmaker is... Probably around $300 or so. Not worth it in my opinion.

    Love that Accurist I’m definitely gonna get one of those just for the look. As a youngster that was always known as a Mickey Mouse brand and cheap. Also Anyone growing up in the old days use to ring the speaking clock and it always used to say the time sponsored by Accurist will be… 😂 In all seriousness though that’s a nice looking watch to add to my collection, I’m not worried about the brand name as well cause I have watches from all major brands like Rolex, omega, Tag, Baumé, vacheron, Brietling and others which has taken decades to collect but I never wear them to be honest but that I’d wear that as a daily for a while. Good vid, thanks.

      I mean, there's probably a way to do it... I wouldn't recommend it though 🤣 the case would probably break under the pressure of removing the crystal and replacing it.

    I wanted a moonswatch originally, the store purchase only with no reservation options or click and collect prevented me getting one though. Ended up with a certina automatic diver second hand in excellent condition instead, cost 50% more than the moonswatch but worth it.
