Figured it'd be like this. I woke up late from some drinking the day before at around 11am and thought to myself, "....yeah, I'm not even going to bother checking the Eaton Centre Swatch Store at this point"
Interesting to see a new generation of watch enthusiasts might begin to take shape in this digital age with smartwatch being the trend. I like a real watch with hands and dial, hopefully this enthusiasm stays for a long time to come. Regarding whether the watch worths all the hype, I suppose why not. A watch is suppose to make you feel good and have fun at the same time, and this one does both with only a little dent to your wallet.
I do like this kind of enthusiasm for a watch release. I own a couple of watches I would do that for if they were limited. But a cheap plastic monobloc (unrepairable) quartz watch for $260? That's crazy. If Swatch wasn't allowed to write Omega on the dial, no cues would have appeared.
Agreed. But, they might be repairable. The acrylic crystal can be removed and after the crown is out, the movement can be removed. That's how it got in there. 😃
@@donnyboon2896 I saw a topic on watchrepairtalk: Swatch does not do repair parts. The design is this way because they are throw away items when they fail. They even put glue over the inside screws. I would have considered the watch if it was futureproof but most of these will probably last about 5 years or so from what i read about Swatch quality.
Congrats on you and your wife getting watches. Did you and your wife get your first choices of watches, or were they already taken? I'm so glad you posted this, I drove by and saw the line up and just left. I had so many question, and your video answered all of them. Enjoy the watch.
Yes I thought it was weird they had many left after half allocation was gone. Maybe they made more? Even though the lady said it was even allocation per colour
So most ppl who got it were line cutters... great going swatch-omega. If swatch wanted to get younger ppl into watches then they should design better watches and if omega wants to give ppl funky colors then just make color ceramic watches and sell them at ok price... but this is a joke
Line cheats cut us in line and it was really cold at night. He was pissed. It was pretty hostile, nobody knew how it was going to turn out right at opening after wait 15 hours outside. I started 20th in line and ended up 48th
That’s crazy! Good for you for waiting, excited to see the review of the plastic cheap quartz Swatch! Hype of this watch broke the internet
They are selling for 1500$ + in the secondary market right now in freaking SWITZERLAND. People are litteraly crazy.

So good to have subscribed from part 1 and come back to see you successfully get them.
Never would I wait almost a full day for a watch that’s going to be available to everyone in a month or so… But hey that’s just me 🤷🏼♂️
"Available to everyone in a month or so" lol that didnt age well
You put the graft in and got the reward, fair play mate!
Thanks for the video. Hard to believe people put in this much effort for them. I would just get the original Moon Watch.
What you're saying is the man is stupid asf, lol

congrats. las vegas launch was super slick.
How was it? I debated on driving there but decided not to after hearing most stores only having 150 watches...
Totally not worth it, but I’m glad your sacrifices Payed off!
Lining up for the bic pen of watches!
Crazy. It’s not swatches fault ppl were jerks. I’m surprised at so many line jumpers tho as Canadians generally love the line lol.
Nice job on the video. You definitely earned that watch.

Yes sir. First choice. I would have considered mercury and Uranus though if it was available
People are tired of going for overpriced Rolex at the second hand dealers...
weird because moon seems to be 2nd highest resale one atm but was not hype at that location
Yes I thought it was weird they had many left after half allocation was gone. Maybe they made more? Even though the lady said it was even allocation per colour
How did you get 2? Thought they changed to 1 per person? Also do you know how many they had today at the store?
95 watches total. I had my wife with me
Just a odd question, does the bioceramic feel cold to the touch? Or more like regular plastic?
Regular plastic

Many line cutters. Probably 40% showed up last two hours after I been there for 20 hours.
@@simplyserge5000 happy for you getting it though... thanks for the content
Why did the guy in front of you leave?
