That Rolex not lining up is a serious issue. They will not leave the factory unless they line up perfectly. Make sure that’s not a fake or rebuild from several different watches. Even Oris watch bezels line up properly at a 10th of the price.
Well, it definitely sucks, but there's a simple solution to that which is changing the strap into a NATO one. It'll separate the watch from your hand. That's how I wear my watch. NATO is comfortable, has plenty of cool patterns/colors and will not get dirty quickly - and if it does, it is easy to clean. Try it, if you haven't already.
So Omega sells u a defective product, potentially dangerous and the amendment is on the customer side, WAY to go.! Is like buying a new car with defective excessive noise in the engine and the solution is to wear a headphones. 😂 😂
A recent scientific study reported the presence of micro plastic in the blood, which comes from food mainly, now I will add the Omega watch to the list. 😂 😆
Your skin does NOT absorb anything that touches it. I n fact it is a very good barrier to most things! That is why burn victims have to be very careful while in the hospital.
Your skin most definitely ‘can’ absorb under the right circumstances. Google liposomes, google how some nerve agents work, google Ibugel, topical ibuprofen.
@@chrisjohnhyman I didn’t say it COULDN’T, but if it were easy all the drugs we take would be transdermal and the fact of the matter is that very very few are because the skin keeps everything out…by design.
Chris Hyman if that was truth many of the medicinal patches wouldn’t work. It who cares if you died of watch poisoning, it is an OMEGA WATCH. I am saying it ironically
@@expomm no one said you can’t absorb ANYTHING. Only that you don’t absorb MOST things. In fact very few things! Go take a biology class and study the integumentary system a little. Having been in the pharmaceutical industry for 25 years I can tell you if it were easy to get stuff through the skin you would never have to swallow another pill in your life.
I thought Swatch had been making cases with their bio-ceramic material for a while - so why would this one leak dye when their other watches using this material don't? Weird. Hopefully just a "batch" issue and gets resolved on future production runs.
Plastic absorbing into your body. I feel sure that its probably not an issue. Ive never heard of that happening in other products. But who knows. Always a first.
Had a test, it’s like a new pair of jeans: wash it in warm water & soap with a soft hand brush (casing / wristband separately). No color loss & problem solved. All watches should be cleaned 1-2x a month
Health hazard, Health issue, Plastic absorbing into body.. come on man! Don't be that guy. It is a faulty design and that's all. They should give back the money and that's all.
You can pull out the crown and use buttons to re-center the chrono hands. But the poorly fitting velcro strap will catch on everything and come off your blue wrist. Its a plastic watch they never intended anyone to ever fix or service. Throw away society.
Meanwhile, make sure you microwave your lunch in a plastic container. 🤦🏼♂️ this is not a big deal. The seconds hand doesn’t line up?????- find me a $1000 seiko that’s any better. Cmon…… 🤷🏼♂️
They can't replace the backplate since it's a monoblock case. Your best bet is either use a double pass NATO or cover the back of the watch with a clear sticker.
@@kevinfitz3721 usually for a monobloc case you can. You have to start with the crystal and work you way through. However for this particular watch I'm not so sure since I did not have it.
I think you're being melodramatic about the "plastic leaking into your skin", the bioceramic doesn't seem to be flaking off the watch, it's just excess paint. Don't hold your breath on an exchange. That said this is a bad look for a luxury brand like Omega. And man do I find those velcro straps cheesy and sit terribly on wrist. (yes i know the "real" Moonwatch comes with a velcro strap too)
The velcro strap, as you know, were worn by astronauts when they strapped their Speedys over their spacesuits-- I bet they sit just right over those spacesuit sleeves and not just wrists!
@@qchang09 no Moonswatch will ever go to space...ever. So why would they create a strap for space suits? You can design a velcro strap that doesn't sit so terribly on wrist, it's just designed badly.
If you really want to really test it out, you should rinse it with water for a few minutes and see if it continues doing that. It's possible it's only a light coating that's causing the stain.
:D sounds like an advice of drilling a hole in an iphone for headphones jack. I hope people don't follow the advice literally... the watch is 30m water "resistant".
@@vmcn2 No, not really. Look into the Swatch manual where it even says: "Wash your watch with dish washing detergent and a soft toothbrush under water when it is dirty." They generally hold up better than the 3ATM might suggest.
There's micro plastics in our water, junk food in our fridges, cigarettes/weed smoke in our lungs, ink in our skin and conspiracies in our heads, and this gut is worried about a little blue dye
The material they developed is new. The ceramic/plastic mix may not be ideal for caseback. G Shock uses metal caseback. Maybe Omega can replace the caseback with an aluminum one in store. Im sure Omega/Swatch will figure it out. The ones they already sold just became more rare.
You said it. "I can't believe Omega put their name on this watch." From day 1 I said it was a huge mistake and cheapens the brand. A watchmaker took it apart, there are no screws. weld rivet together. The warranty is not a repair but a replace. This watch is not repairable. It's an over priced piece of crap. This will not become a collectable item. Shame on Swatch for producing such rubbash and so sad for all who paid thousands $$$$$$ for it.
I've seen other comments stating how the dye staining the skin from this version of the moonswatch resembles a bruise mark. A shame for this to happen. Still hope you get the most out of that watch though.
Why didn't you inspect before you bought it? Including the Sub. That's on you. A little dye, no biggie. Ever marked yourself with an ink pen? Have you died from it? OCD.
Definitely not plastic absorbing into the skin. It’s dye.. which I’m sure isn’t the end of the world. Once you wear it a few times I’m sure it’ll stop leaving marks
@@Furansowakun while I agree it’s unacceptable.. to me this is the same thing as a pair of jeans having the dye rub off onto car interior.. it’s not the jeans fault. It’s just part of the deal.
Can't believe all the people defending this shoddy watch in the comments, clearly a lot of them must have bought them and don't want to admit they've been conned
Let me start off by saying that I don't understand this episode at all. I had several SWATCH and it seems to me that all the difference is just what you can write on the Omega dial, the watch itself has not changed, the mechanism has the same functions, by the way, about plastic, I had square Swatch Square Chrono Midnight, I liked it very well, they sat very well on hand, but after about 2 years, the plastic of the bracelet crumbled all into dust and ordering a bracelet in Israel, where I lived then, cost more than the watch itself, which at that time was discontinued. since then, Swatch has only been made of metal. I would advise people who are so turned on to buy an AliExpress watch face that says Omega and rearrange them on your Swatch
It’s a genius colab. With both companies $$$$ hits the mid.market but stainless back would be idea considering people with skin allergies and besides it looks like a toy …..just my opinion
Let's hope they don't need to recall. That would mean even more limited quantities and the flippers rejoice, and that would negate their initial objective for releasing these watches in the first place.
well, if you don't want any plastic in your body, you can pretty much stop eating anything at all forever... we ingest about a credit card worth of plastic every week.
As a retired watchmaker with over 70 years experience i must say that I definitely anticipated some problems with the quality of the Omega Swatch without a doubt. I believe that this "collaboration" between Omega and Swatch was no more than a licensing deal between the two companies whereby Omega's licensed it's name to Swatch for profit, nothing more, nothing less. Any and all design, workmanship, manufacturing, etc., of the watch was 100% entirely Swatch brands responsibility as it is quite evident now that the workmanship on these watches are not up to standard. Good luck to all those who rushed out to buy these in multiples thinking that they will be a collector's item in the future. Umm, i don't think so !
I agree with everything you said. One thing though, to have more than 70 years experience, assuming you started your apprenticeship at 15, you must be at least 85 years old and have only just retired. If you retired a number of years ago you must be closer to 90, or started your career at age 10. I truly commend your dedication to your craft.
@@johnkwan4416 You’ve also got all the Omega fans losing their mind that this is the end of the world as it “cheapens” the brand. In my opinion they are looking at this entirely wrong. As you say, these watches are 100% a Swatch brand product, with Omega licensing the likeness, trademark usage etc. The fact they share the same parent company not withstanding. Swatch Group leadership have done this to reinvigorate the flailing Swatch brand (for which the family have a deep sentimental attachment to as it built their empire). People really need to think of these watches as Omega merchandising. Millions more people have heard of Omega today than had 2 weeks ago as well as their historic ties to space exploration. The watch industry pundits haven’t stopped talking about them and all the chatter they have created, as well as mainstream news outlets showing people camped out around city blocks desperately trying to get their hands on a Moonswatch, which is straight out of Apple’s playbook. They have also timed it gloriously, with the release strategically taking place just a week before Watches and Wonders 2022, where the talk of the industry has still been a $250 plastic quartz watch instead of the latest releases from Patek, Rolex et al, that no ordinary human is deemed worthy to buy anyway. Swatch Group have decided that they want to get the younger generation away from their Apple Watches and into these fun Swatch watches and hopefully the Swatch buying kids of today, will be buying the real Moonwatch in 5 or 10 years when their careers have developed and they have the expendable income required.
@@BiffTannenBTTF Swatch doesn’t own Omega, Swatch Group does. This is not just semantics. They are not just seperate brands but seperate legal entities so of course there was licensing and I would be shocked if Omega wasn’t receiving fees for the arrangement so they were getting a piece of the revenue generated.
What they can do is send out a stainless steel or plastic cover that doesn't bleed that has adhesive on it and the cut out for the battery hatch i think that should take care of the problem.
This is a big issue. It will be interesting if tests show bad chemicals or something carcinogenic coming out. Not a joke and definitely will, excuse the pun, tarnish Omega’s reputation if it becomes dangerous.
I am thinking of infertility, manboobs and overall feminization as a consequence of the chemical dosage. Definetively you should have also bought the Uranus model to publicly display your taste.
Plastic to absorb by skin? How should that work? It should be a mixture of plastic and ceramic. Both should not do harm to your body. The question is more like where does the color come from. Is it a color added with a solvent to the material or is the ceramic carrying the color and what you find on your skin ist color ceramic.
It's not an Omega Swatch, it's a Swatch Fauxmega. The fact that people were falling all over themselves to pay $260USD for a plastic watch made me question the intelligence of human beings.
I agree. A big fail. This is a cheap, poorly made, disposable plastic watch that looks like a Speedy but is a piece of junk and not worth $260. This will not end well for Omega.
Major health issue. Seriously? It's dye. I don't think they will recall. I believe its just the blue version and they will fix it going forward. Oh yeah collectable because people want a blue wrist. I don't think so. Seriously get your submariner fixed. No way that bezel pip should be like that. I would be more worried about that and I hate all the moon swatch straps.
That's the question Swatch has to find the answer to quick. It could be coming from the bioceramic, or it could be from the planet print on the back. However, bioceramic is not a new thing. Swatch has made plenty watches with that material over the past year, and I've never heard of Swatch mass recalling their watches. But at the same time, not many people were aware of bioceramic before the moonswatch craze, so 🤷♂️. If the dye leak is from the planet print, it could be a relatively easy fix. If it's from the bioceramic, then Swatch has a VERY BIG problem on their hands.
The sticker of the planet did not have a proper spray sealer. The ink drips off the sticker and Bernoulli spreads all over the case back. So just carefully remove the sticker if you plan to wear the watch all day. Keep the sticker stored in a mini Ziploc bag and just reapply it when you trade or sell the watch.
No. It’s not the sticker. It’s the actual case itself. The case leaking dye. Swatch says not a big deal because it will go away after a couple of cleanings. They said it’s non toxic as well. That being said. I wouldn’t get this watch.
Saw me out there needs to hold on to them watches cuz they recall them all in whoever saves them and don't send them back in they going to be worth money and gold in the future
It's terrible, ship it to me, you'll sleep better.
it means youre getting the full moonswatch experience. getting the colour imprinted onto your skin is its hidden feature

I don't think so. Seriously get your submariner fixed. No way that bezel pip should be like that. I would be more worried about that and I hate all the moon swatch straps.
you just need to wait for the dye to dry. its perfectly normal. this watch is perfect.
Does the dye leak on other Swatches? Maybe this is just a Swatch thing?
That's the question Swatch has to find the answer to quick. It could be coming from the bioceramic, or it could be from the planet print on the back. However, bioceramic is not a new thing. Swatch has made plenty watches with that material over the past year, and I've never heard of Swatch mass recalling their watches. But at the same time, not many people were aware of bioceramic before the moonswatch craze, so 🤷♂️.
If the dye leak is from the planet print, it could be a relatively easy fix. If it's from the bioceramic, then Swatch has a VERY BIG problem on their hands.
appears to be a large blue stain and an unstained small circle where the battery cap is. So its coming from the case not the battery door.
@@simplyserge5000 Oof, that's real bad
Well, so much for excellent Swiss "quality".
The sticker of the planet did not have a proper spray sealer. The ink drips off the sticker and Bernoulli spreads all over the case back. So just carefully remove the sticker if you plan to wear the watch all day. Keep the sticker stored in a mini Ziploc bag and just reapply it when you trade or sell the watch.
No. It’s not the sticker. It’s the actual case itself. The case leaking dye. Swatch says not a big deal because it will go away after a couple of cleanings. They said it’s non toxic as well.
That being said. I wouldn’t get this watch.
Saw me out there needs to hold on to them watches cuz they recall them all in whoever saves them and don't send them back in they going to be worth money and gold in the future
It's not a bug, It's a feature
You know they grind up smurfs to make the blue ones?
I stopped spending less than ~4k on watches a long time ago and for good reason.
Oh boy. You will have to line up for another 20 hours to return it!
I wonder if it's the battery cap color
Swatch commented on social media that the dye is harmless and you can wash it off. So in other words, they're going to do nothing.
If Swatch says so - we need to accept it. Brilliant minds, we should follow blindly.
