The only people getting 'butt-hurt' over this release are actual Speedie owners, and retailers that can't sell it. Logistically, the rollout seems a disaster -- take Melbourne for instance -- but chaos aside, I believe this product has its place. It's NOT for everyone's taste, but it's meant to be a bit of fun inside an iconic style, it's NOT meant to make Swatch owners your horological equals. We ALL understand the difference, and that this is a cheaper counterpart in all facets. Omega knew this, which is why it's only going through Swatch channels. It's also important to note, that this is the first collab between watch makers, and is worth appreciating by itself. The original steel case is still the icon, still the best, and there should be no reason why purist owners of those should feel any less proud. In fact, I can't wait to showcase my own Speedie through these fun color schemes -- with true understanding of their place in the food chain. If they aren't for you, then just don't buy one. Take a breath mate.
Dude, you’re wrong. It’s not £250 Omega, it’s Swatch!
I have to take issue with you here. Swatch has made it hyped? No, the watch vloggers and "influencers" have made it hyped in just a few days. Swatch says it is not limited and will eventually be available online. Therefore, the people in line for days are either idiots or flippers hoping to sell to idiots.
well said
Think your wrong, this is a brilliant idea , that will elevate the real speedie even higher . It will ensure a whole new audience in the years to come.
I like your honesty, you don’t like the idea but you like the watch.
Silly to by this from flippers for silly money. But I feel this may be a way to get young people when they have real jobs with $ may want the real thing. Time will tell if Omega (Swatch Group) are genius or totally ruined a brand. In our social media society I believe most people will aspire for the real thing. I have a Professional Speedmaster with 3861 movement and plan to buy a MoonSwatch when they are available on line.
i think you're right but I was never affording a speedy so I'm personally glad they did this.
I absolutely agree with your view. Thanks for updating us.
Dude… you have no clue about marketing. Nothing is cheapened… it’s an entry-level watch that will get people to want a real Sppedy…
Get 1 when it’s back in the shop if I was spending 3kid get the real speedy stay safe take care as always love from London ✌️
100% Agree 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼swatch-omega 🤮
All valid points besides the CV19 argument.
There a business and need to appeal to majority of people who cannot avoid the real deal. We are lucky who can afford the speedmaster
We should see crowds like this whenever they restock the Casio F91-W at the local watch shop.
And a tiffany Rolex shouldnt sell for 30k when its a 5000£ entry level garbage. For that price people should look at Patek , Lange and VC dress watches.
That is exactly what happened to me in Toronto! I was in 60th spot and then 20 mins before the store opened, there was a massive rush and I now was at the end of the receiving end! After 17 hours of waiting from my new position, there was no watches left. I would have received my watch (in the position that I was sitting in before the budding in line began) if people were respectful of those like myself who endured the cold and discomfort to obtain a watch to add to their collection. All flippers I would assume because it is fairly easy to figure out the true collectors to the flippers. What a sham! And I also blame Swatch for not having security and proper protocols in place to help eliminate what happened, as I was not the only casualty of this launch…..there were plenty of other people who lost out in their opportunity because of these people. DISGRACEFUL! I have never stood in line for 17 hours, for anything in my life and I never will. Glad to hear that they will be available online shortly. Stay well and thank you for shedding light on this.
I think the choice to go plastic was more to distinguish it from the OG than to make it cheaply. Probably, they could have made it from SS for a similar price. I agree about the accessibility and everything else, and I like that you acknowledged the "Watch snob" "bias". Great video.
Saying its a piece of s### and then saying you want one is a little bit of hypocrisy.
This new release and launch has been amazing to watch. Everybody losing there mind. Lovers and haters. Its nuts. It's supposed to be fun and this is getting silly. Distribution nightmare.
I have to say I currently agree with your thoughts. Time will tell if we are correct.
I was scared for tea and tickers. I thought he was gonna get knocked out.
Mission to Mars--Mission To the Sun
????? What the frig kind of bullshit is this? What mission to all these planets?? GAY!
Omega is now trash. Money grab by executives who have short term incentive plans.
Maybe it's one way of Swatch to save the stores. A Swatch store in my location closed up before Christmas. It's a high end mall where the first Apple store and Tesla showroom in the U.S. opened. The mall also now has a Lucid Motors showroom.
I agree with you. It is a good marketing move aside from brand snobbery perspective. But making it accessible through swatch boutique only is just mad. Although they state that it will be available for purchase online, it doesn't help the fact that you create bad impression on the launch event (especially with covid situation). In summary, great strategy, poor execution.
Swatch stores have been losing foot traffic the past few years. Have you talked to young person who wants a Swatch and not an Apple watch lately? Swatch store in Washington DC area closed.
I don't think it is 'brand snobbery'. If someone works hard, buys something nice, then they should be proud.. not want everyone to get a plastic one.
I completely agree James! Jokes on the flippers soon. I’m hearing the moon swatch will be released online as well. Hope you’re well🍻
Playstation 5 and Supreme products are mostly sold online and they are mostly scooped up by paid bots of scalpers as soon as they show up online. Somebody I know re-sells Supreme and PS5 to pay for college. Regular people can't buy hyped products online
Nobody cared about my Speedy at work all these years. Let's see when Monday comes...
I'd actually argue it's genius. Omega and Swatch have pretty much give Rolex a big FU, and proved they can play that game too and have just created more hype around a £200 plastic watch than any Rolex watch has ever had.
Swatch will then make it fully accessible to everybody, which will be another FU to Rolex as you can never walk into an AD and buy a Rolex. They're just playing them at their own game, but making fun of them by doing so with a cheap £200 watch.
Omega, short e as in keg, NOT Omeeega! Just because Daniel Craig messed it up, the rest of us shouldn’t!
Maybe we refer to this MoonSwatch as “the poor man’s Speedmaster”
Omega/Swatch didn't over hype the MoonSwatch ..... that was down to the watchworld commentators and hyperbolic online reviewers who wanted in on all the clickbait oppertunities.
If you shout fire in a crowded theater ..... then they'll be a stampede for the door.
Calm down dears .... It's just a watch.
The only counter point I would make is putting it online makes it much easier for the flippers to use automated bots to clean up the market. In store you have some chance, online you will have none.
I have to say the speedmaster 1861 was my dream watch. It still is. However last year I tried both 1861 and 3861 on in a local boutique. I want one even more. But I seen this moonswatch and thought I might do it but I am conflicted as I'm a guy in 40s and I still think the 1861 or 3861 should be my goal. Not this Swatch? I fear I'd pay 200 quid and be disappointed
Buy the real thing. If you can’t afford it, keep saving. This new release is nothing but a cheap, plastic quartz watch. It’s nothing more than a pathetic marketing ploy by the swatch group.
@@whereRbearsTeeth yeah definitely. Thanks.
To me, it shows just how much money watch manufacturers are making out of a piece of metal, the vast majority of which are made on a assembly line. It just highlights what value a car is, with all the electronics, watches are overhyped and overpriced. Don’t get me wrong I also have been quilts of being conned out of my money.
Great video!
Couldn’t agree more, basically it’s a great idea, making a great watch accessible to everyone, although the Swatch Group aren’t. A plastic, quartz watch could never replace the iconic Speedmaster, so buyers and owners of Speedmasters will see this for what it is a bit of fun. The way the Swatch Group has gone about this is dreadful.
This is the Aston Martin Cygnet all over again.........
I'll stick with my actually great plastic watch. G shock 5600... its classic, its a third of the price and I can do pretty much anything with it on.. these things are just pretty toys, final destination - the bin....Speedy is great. These are NOT a Speedy or anywhere near a Speedy
You can tell the people overreacting are the ones that have too much invested in watches.
Thanks for calling it like it is...
It’s a marketing coup that’s been trendjacked off the chart by social media & the press. The chaos is the sad fallout of hype, and greed, nothing to do with the brands. Swatch were completely unprepared for such a response, but how could they ever have gauged that level of craziness!
Rolex use a quarts movement any difference just waiting for Rolex to make a plastic case it won’t be long. the price of steel has gone through the roof
Well if you think you feel bad think of the Canopus gold that is 47 k I’m not sure how I feel about mine now
I can't respect your opinion based on the car you drive
You just want to have the moon watch to be limited, you just don't want to share that design with an affordable audience
Well I mean, to be fair you quite literally have to cheapen it in order to sell it at $260...
Live the hooker/pimp analogy. Except the pimp seems to be a totally inexperienced trainee with no idea what happens when you offer a novelty in boutique only.
Good vid mate.
For my own case, I've been on the fence about the Speedmaster 3861 since last year. Undecided between it and Steve McQueen's Monaco caliber 11.
Fast forward to 26th MoonSwatch's launch, went to Swatch boutique at 8am, thought I get myself a Mission to Mars but left once I saw the 1500++ ppl.
Sat at a café, decided there n then n walked into a Omega boutique, 3861 it is.
So I don't know if any of y'all here has the same reaction as mine or the opposite?
Agree on most points here. It drags the Omega name through the mud when it’s related to a cheap plastic quartz. 3 steps forward and 4 steps back for Omega.
Omega has watered down their pedigree. Swatch has always been teen trash…
Spot on the way they handled it is a disaster. Omega will have to climb its way back up and I expect them to struggle this year to sell.
Lol…not even a little bit.
What the shops should have done, and yes, I know.. coulda woulda shoulda.., is hand out numbers. You've 200 watches, you hand out 200 numbers. Duh. Avoids the mad bum rush when the store opens.
It's easy to say that when you are a millionaire
Omega is an aspirational product! Not anymore? The kids won't get it.
I kinda like them thiugh 🤣🤣
In my eyes this is bad for Omega, i don't like this at all
yes and no
I just cancelled the order of my gold planet ocean chrono, and I will buy an Apple Watch ......
Both are dumb purchases
Uh huh…
It's not a collaboration when one of the parties is coerced. According to a Time and Tide article, Omega was not keen on doing this in the first place so your hooker analogy is spot on.
I absolutely 💯 agree I don't see the appeal of this watch at all with the hype and I actually was going to buy a second Omega but going for Zenith instead the tipo cp2 43mm or a chronmaster tri color. The flippers are having a feild day. Yes insanity
Phirst
So dramatic lol. Who cares 😂
You are absolutlely right...! This should have been sold online only until the hype dies down..!!! then released in Swatch stores globally without limits..!!!! i'm going to wait until its online..! i have a 1974 Rolex Submarina no date and love it..!
Thanks for the shoutout! Swatch botched this release.
They couldn’t even do a steel sports model they made a mission to the Sun bullshit! What mission to these planets it’s childish!
how is this a botched release, they couldnt have made more publicity if they tried lol and they didnt try, its everybody else going nuts about it, its more then they ever dreamed of.
Actually they blew it out of the park and are smashing champagne glasses. Unreal publicity.
@@watchfalcon122 it’s a plastic disposable piece of crap.
A shambles
