Thanks for the review. I just got my Earth mission in yesterday from Stock X. I was expecting a bit more somehow, but it's still a great novelty watch, and you can't deny the cool factor! Except, that the dial reads as dark gray, not navy blue, even in bright sunlight. A bit too somber against that lively pastel green, it should have been a shade or two brighter, like Neptune. The Omega branding and the Speedster design are definitely the best things about it. I view it as the perfect beater watch for watch collectors. I will wear it for workouts, etc., in place of a Casio. It's super lightweight (1 oz.) and comfortable. But, If you're expecting Omega quality, forget about it. It's built just like any other Swatch. But, I'm surprised at the price, I think they could get $350 USD. That tells me they want to sell as many as possible. The bright colors are fun, but make it look cheaper, the grays make it look more expensive. The plastic molding is so precise, with crisp edges and details, and almost invisible molding seams. The texture has a nice matte feel to it, but seems a bit soft for having so much ceramic dust in it. Think the velcro strap is comfortable and fits the piece perfectly. My main criticism if that the domed plastic crystal has a lot of distortion when viewed at a low angle. I don't think the mechanism is really that loud, not nearly like their cheaper 3 hand watches. I think they want to drive boutique sales, to move them in bulk more easily. I don't think they are really set up to deal with this kind of volume for one-at-a-time online sales. So, I think they may have to wait a while to let the demand die down. Three months after the launch should do it. So, I'm guessing they'll go online before July 4th, to capitalize on summer sales.
I’m really enjoying wearing mine daily. The weight is great, the strap is great. Just hoping to get some other colours. Specifically a moon! (Maybe a mars if I can pick one up!)
Correction...it's not an "Omega MoonSwatch"...it's a Swatch MoonSwatch. But, I gotta admit, the Mission to Moon MoonSwatch looks good on you. I honestly want 1.

Congrats on this new lucky find 👍🏼
I had a swatch in the 80s that ticked so loud it spent the night in a drawer…
haha i know what you mean
You re not alone
What strap do you have on the Earth?
Try a black sailcloth band with red top stitching or red with black stitching...
plastic crystal is fused to the crown , so you can't replace it with a quality crystal, LOL
I'll wait. I heard McDonalds is giving one away with every kids Happy Meal.
Maybe a dumb question, how do you set the time on this watch? Got a Mars and the crown doesn’t seem to do anything…
Hey Serge, what's the model number of your old Seiko?
