o Bottom-line - This release piqued my interest, and the buying experience won me over, the energy in the line was great and the feeling of acquiring one was actually very satisfying, especially considering the price point
The cost to smile ratio on the “Thrifty” Fathoms is downright miraculous, IF you purchase at retail and get to enjoy the full experience

Life is short. Have some fun, buy the goofy watch. Have the double scoop of ice cream. Go fast in your car. With all of the nonsense in today's world, a fun watch may just scratch an itch, and certainly is harmless.
Maybe use that money for something better than a disposable watch that's massively overpriced and won't even be working in about 18 months. Life is about enjoying yourself but being sucked in to buying trash just makes you a rube.
@@essa6315 I won't argue with you, but to say that if someone can piss away that kind of dough, and it makes them happy, so be it. As long as they're not starving the dog or their kids, it's only money at the end of the day.
@@essa6315maybe it is good
amount of money for you but I have enough money to buy this "disposable" watch and trash it a year later. So your advice does not work on me 😂
@@user-bg8px9rn8fit's not about having enough money, we all can afford it. It's about not being an idiot who can't hold the urge to spend money to buy endless shltty gadgets and plastic trash.
@@user-bg8px9rn8f poor person mentality
You have the best take on these Swatch toys. Lots of fun if you look at it from the right perspective. If you want something to last forever, this isn’t it. It’s a cool expensive pair of shoes that you’ll have for 5-8 years and then not think about ever again.
Definitely the best looking collaboration
Surprised but I was able to purchase one on release day. Better luck than release date for the entire line. It was strange as I'd say 90% of the people waiting were collector's and not flippers unlike last time. Had fun talking to people waiting in line and swatch staff were very nice. Ordered a black sailcloth strap as I'm not a NATO fan great video.
I really wanted to see some strap options because one day I plan on picking up one of these whenever I go to Atlanta
by far the best , now to see if i can get one at retail in the store
Definitely make a video of strap options there's not very many videos on the subject and I would definitely like to get a sail cloth or rubber strap for it when i get one
I love my Antarctica Ocean BxS watch !!! Just installed a Wristbuddy white rubber strap and this watch pops even more with its clean white case, dial, and now band.

I have the Pacifica yellow model. Love the 90 hour power. I did buy this yesterday and it was just blah... Sold it. It's all in your taste
I give this a 👍 because it's u and actually this is a nice release. I would personally rather spend the rough $400 towards something else. But, if income, budget and strong enough interest allows, not too bad to have some fun for as long as it'll last.
Yes, I'm sure Swatch group has enough power to silence the NATO whistle blower.
I think some people forget to not take this hobby too seriously. Even though BP is a serious brand, Swatch watches, which this is, are not watches to be taken too seriously and I think fun and expressive of your own personal taste is what they are best at.
"Marketing memorabilia", great observation! I agree.
When are you going to show off the watch in the artem sailcloth?
Great commentary. All very fair. I have a collection of real Omega watches, and I have no issue at all with these Omega and Blancpain collaborations. I do not feel somehow offended or insecure just because someone can own a watch that looks superficially similar for a fraction of the cost I paid for my watches. I terms of quality, I do not buy the whole 'they are just a toy' or 'throwaway rubbish for landfill' argument as they are actually better quality than most Swatch watches and if you wear these keeping in mind what they are made of, they last plenty well enough. There are quartz Swatch watches from the 80s and 90s still ticking away (yes, I am aware of the survivor bias etc, but even so), so with some care these will be fine for decades. No worse polluting, if not less polluting actually, than the vast majority of things people buy on a daily basis. These are great fun and I'll probably get one of these black Swatch Fifty Fathoms at some stage.
Beautiful 🤩 👏👏
Great video thanks 👍🏴❤️
I like it, but I like other watches better.
Name them.
friend, where you took this Kanagawa Wave mug ?

How about repair? replace new system 51 movement ?
I get the $400 price tag, but who else is making an automatic with 90hr power reserve with the predictability that you'll get 15-20yrs of life out of?
Maybe a handful of Powermatic 80s?? 80hr power reserve that will be a hair more expensive.
Are you really going to go get a $400 watch serviced? I bet when most enter a shop and receive a quote of over $200, they'll be thinking about a new watch....
I really like that they kept the bezel lum. I picked up the same watch this weekend, likely going with a Kingsand Zuludiver band in black. They have a nice curve which should tuck up nicely against the case.
Serious question, If you aren't able to service the watch, how long could you realistically expect this to last ?
I really like it btw. Thank you heaps for the review !
Ron from New Zealand.
3-5yrs daily wear
Just for reference, my launch sistem51 is ticking away, on ten years now.... YMMV obviously but yeah
Movement can be swapped out to replace if needed as per swatch corporate. I'm not going to wear mine as a daily so I'm sure I can leave for my kids to wear on day and it should be running fine.
Lol throwing punches at Blancpain being overpriced 😮very controversial opinion I would say the least 😂
😂😂😂😂
I just bought one today from a flipper, loving it!
How much did you spend?
@@Martin-hk1ch i paid about us$500
The watch looks good, but the lume is extremely weak and only shines for a short time.
Looks great, now the materials used and the price don’t match. Thorn has a better homage.
not black enough - maybe on black friday ;P
Jeez! You don’t hang around!
Excess not access
Not sure why this deserves a premier.
Because its awesome.
I like it but at that price i can buy so much better
Agreed 💯
Takes recycling to a whole new level. Uses plastic from the oceans and then can be disposed of back into the ocean. Then take it off a passing turtle to start the process again. Genius.
I don't get your criticism. You're saying this watch will become pollution in the ocean because it's made of plastic?
The plastic waste being dumped in the ocean is the fault of people who do that, not the material the stuff is made of
try and scratch it
I spend most of my time trying not to scratch my watches, sorry
DHGate...$25-$80... Or $400 for a watch thats gonna die in 3-5 yrs?
Not every product is marketed for every buyer
Well the way you see $400 is too much for Swatch, I see $25-80 to be too much for the DHGate knock offs. They are not the same quality watches and both are overpriced tho
I wish it was steel and had full black nato strap ,would look more manly and stealthy,with white stripes looks childish...
Steel costs 20k more.
I'd never put my $400 down on this. I'd rather get a Glycine combat sub. Hell, my invictas are way better
Yeah, I have a Combat Sub 39, it's really nice. This watch isn't really meant to be the best of anything, just a bit of cheap fun.
@@AverageBros yeah, $400 isn't cheap. As mentioned, the Invicta Pro diver is $70 on a bad day and is leaps and bounds above this thing. The Chinese squeeze in sapphire, 316L stainless steel, solid end links and milled clasps for $100 with an actually serviceable Seiko movement. If this Swatch joke thing was a $100 then ok. At $150 it'd be overpriced but ok. $400?! For what? NOPE. $400 and should anything happen to it I'd have to just throw it in the bin and say, "Lol, that was fun"? You've got to be joking. I've paid less for Swiss watches with high beat rate movements made out of steel. This isn't fun. This is hyper-consumerism on steroids. I would not support a company like this. People get mad at Invicta for making what they feel are hideous watches but they're actually well built. What the heck is this Fisher Price toy at this ridiculous price point? Y'all are some hypocrites.
Didn't know Blancpain watches were plastic. So they're glorified Swatches???
blanc pin haha not blanc pan
I do wish that this version didnt have the date window and also used the old blancpain logo. Just got myself the Antarctic one, definitely not a serious watch but they are a lot of fun.
What a debbie downer lol. Its a fun watch, enjoy it for what it is…or dont. Moonswatch/BP FF haters always miss the point of these entirely. Next time get someone for the review who isn’t so obviously biased.
Get someone?
🤮
like anything else, it's not for everyone 😅
@@AverageBros 💯
@@AverageBros I’ll be sure to watch though, as I always do. Haven’t watched a review of this watch, yet.
To make a story short, it's another overpriced plastic for the watch suckers. Over $400 for the acquisition experience, you say? Yeah, pass. Good review on the details of the watch, though. Thumbs up.
