Why you should NOT Buy the Blancpain x Swatch collaboration watches.

- So the new Swatch collaboration was revealed. This time the victim of such collab is the luxury brand from the Swatch Group portfolio - Blancpain. BlanSwatch or SwatchPain.
It could be a good collab but it’s not.
The Swatch calls it the BIOCERAMIC SCUBA FIFTY FATHOMS COLLECTION. The Fifty Fathoms is the Blancpain diver model. In fact, it was one of the first modern dive watches.
While the design revealed is not bad. The watches have a look and the design of the Blancpain diver models. In this video, I will explain why I think this is a very bad watch.
The price of the Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms Collection models is set to $400 US dollars and $500 Canadian dollars for my fellow Canadian viewers.

Everyone calm down, it’s a Swatch.
True. But, imagine if blink182 somehow positioned itself to own the catalogs of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson. Not so easy to dismiss anymore and now with a lot of ability to destroy bona fide art.
Only watch people know Blancpain and very few can afford a 10k watch, this looks great and gives the brand exposure. When the movement fails it will be cheaper to replace than a cleaning/service of most other mechanical offerings. I did not get the SpeedSwatch but it bumped Speedmaster sales reportedly 40%? I will reserve my purchase until I see how well they hold up but amagnetic, accurate and 90 hour power reserve is not bad for the listed price.
The service for my time only bp is way over 1k unfortunately
Only watch people and flippers :)
I hear this narrative a lot and while it could be true at some degree about exposure I cannot fully agree with the rest. I have had MoonSwatch for more than a year and while it's kinda fun toy it is garbage as a watch. I rarely wear it recently. Out of two of Mission to Jupiters I had both were with defects. I have big collection so I don't mind have it for fun. But if this would be my first Swiss Made watch experience I probably wouldn't buy another and settled with Apple Watch.
I’ve just bought one to remind me not to take life too seriously.
Congrats. How do you like it?
All, hold your horses. It's a Swatch. Swatch builds disposable watches since 1983. And to all who suggesting to buy a Timex, Citizin, or a cheap Seiko, a Swatch never intendent to replace these types of watches.
Yeah but this disposable Swatch costs 400 bucks.
@@OneManReviews Agreed. However, an Apple Watch Ultra costs US$ 799 and the Series 8 goes for US$ 399. Not really the same things but Apple Watches are disposable items too.
@@TheTejanoJose and that’s actually the point that Apple Watch is a disposable piece of technology and watches should provide different experience.
@@OneManReviews I don't own any smart watch. But I have to admit, that I'm a Swatch fan boy. My first Swatch was a 1983 model which I did wear during my Swiss Army basic training. She got a bit of beating during this time but is still ticking after 40 years. The plastic ones and especially the Irony models are perfect as daily beater watches. I never had one breaking down on me. The new bioceramic ones, I have the SO32B401-STD - ROUGE & NOIR, they are not the same as the original plastic ones, they feel different. But as I said, they are fun and nobody should take them too serios.
cheap seiko last forever thats much better than disposable watch
just wining.... these watches are positioned in a very specific segment.... you don't get it....
I have a titanium FF but this seems like a fun collaboration. I will not wanna join the long queue for one though.
Just saw que in Melbourne Australia. I'd guess 150 people. Already some on eBay at %250 markup. I don't think they'll sell for much over retail. I feel these are more enthusiast watches. Flippers be gone
I have the bathy in titanium. Such an amazing brand ❤
Looks like garbage. Great video. I agree with you 100%
Thanks. The unserviceable movement is a joke with the haute horology brand on the dial.
Garbage made of mud.
OK, got it. I won’t be able to pay $400 to get my $400 watch serviced if there’s a problem years from now. And every one of these that does die-years from now-will certainly be thrown away into an ocean.
Why you should not watch this video…
They should have made these from plastic waste fished from the oceans. This would have led to differently marbled cases. I would have bought it then
Citizen Ny004: 200$, 200m, diver watch, japanese, good Movement. But, don't have blanc pain in the dial.😱😱😱😱😱😱
I have to respect the marketing, I won’t buy one but they will sell and that’s all that matters.
Swatch and Omega/Blancpain on a common mission?
As an Omega fan and owner of a Seamaster from 2016 and a new Omega GMT-OREGO, I don't find the co-operation funny at all.
I paid a lot of money for a good name, a good brand and a good product and I don't want my product to be mentioned in the same breath as Swatch watches.
In my opinion, Omega/Blancpain are voluntarily moving into the area of cheap watches and are significantly undermining the high reputation/level they have achieved over the years.
Just imagine the following: Smart builds a cheap E-Class and throws it onto the market with the Mercedes star... unimaginable.
However, Mercedes was smart enough not to directly associate the Mercedes name with the SMART brand, even though SMART belongs to Mercedes.
Another example, how would the Rolex community react if Rolex did such co-branding.
When it comes to Moonswatch/Scuba Fathomes, people are supposed to consciously buy a cheap copy of a good brand? Really now.
Co-branding can also go wrong and damage Omega/Blancpain's image, right? What’s more: is perhaps even the “big” Moonwatch becoming less interesting for real watch nerds?
Maybe this will also lead to more people buying a “real” Omega/Blancpain fake.
I also don't think anyone would buy such a knock-off in order to perhaps later upgrade to a real Omega. But we will see.
The Swatch Groupe has recently managed to get the good name of OMEGA/Blancpain into eBay classifieds/bulky waste newspaper.
There, collectors can now choose from the large selection of currently around 800 watches. This now also includes fakes from the fakes.
At least there the purchase is not limited to one watch per person.
Look a like Swatch group would like to meet the Swatch customers with Blancpain brand, but this will never work.
I actually like what swatch doing the watch doesn’t have to be rocket high to buy it
Come on, again……It’s not a cheap Blancpain, It’s an expensive Swatch
Overpriced Swatch.
I am lucky enough last time not to Q for the swatch omega and this time i believe I will be lucky not to Q too.😂😂😂
I spent about 20 minutes to get my MoonSwatch Mission to Jupiter considering I came 10 minutes before store opening :)
You are being very unfair. I think it is terrific that Swatch are doing their bit to protect the oceans making the straps from recycled fishing nets. More companies should do more to stop dumping cheap disposable plastic items on the market.
That's exactly what makes it weird. They married straps from recycled fishing nets with the plastic disposable watches. How is this protecting the oceans?
@@OneManReviews Was being ironic!🙂
@@jspeakman53 Sorry, I did not get it. Though you were serious :)
$400 usd to $550 USD you can buy a Tissot PRX powermatic 80. More plastic, more trash.
But on EBay and other resellers there selling them for thousands. Total ripoff do you know what kind of watch you could by for 1200-1500 dollars a nicer watch then a automatic swatch. The Omega collaboration was better and even if they were quartz they looked cool. I know watch snobs hated them but I didn’t pay thousands for mine.
Those reselling prices are crazy. The same was with MoonSwatches. I remember seeing some models listed at as much as 12,000 Canadian Dollars. Imagine someone spent that money for a plastic toy-watch.
Looks cool !
Paying too much for a plastic toy when you can get an automatic citizen for that money
You can get many nice watches in this price range.
Spot on! Obvious money grab.
Nothing personal, just business...
@@OneManReviews strictly business. Swatch found a marketable way to use the cheap system 51 movements laying around.🤣
It’s only a money grab if YOU give them your money… it sounds like your hurt that Other people are giving them they’re own money… Name a corporation that doesn’t want YOUR money… I can’t… Just business nothing personal…
@@jeffq7396 you're right about corporations and profit. But there are many products that deliver quality and value for your money.
@@jeffq7396 look up the definition of ‘money grab.’ Buy it if you like it. Why would I care. Your money. Cheers
It looks really good tho 😅
Great watch the movement is the system 51 tweaked if it doesn't work just put a new movement in for people with brains not like all the other over priced swiss watch companies just to unscrew the back of the watch not do anything will be the price of the complete watch 🤣😂 buy with confidence I have had a Swatch chronograph 211 automatic for if my memory is right 1995still works perfectly and has plastic case 😂🤣
What’s so great about this watch besides the Blancpain logo on it? It could be fun toy but as a watch it’s garbage.
@@OneManReviews it tells the time like all the over priced watches out there just don't cost as much as a house 😂🤣😂🤣
@@kurthill7030 there are plenty of good quality watches in this price range that will do just that.
@@OneManReviews and your point is there are lots of things at this price point that will tell you the time but you can watch things to no pun intended and are made of plastic
How to make the oldest watchmaking brand in the world into garbage 🤦👎🏻
Great video. We don’t need more plastic things, and we certainly don’t need a watch that can’t be maintained
Very true!
100% agree. Will NOT buy.
YES GARBAGE WATCH BUY A CASIO WATCH
Right on
Thanks!
It's incredible Blancpain wants to be associated with a plastic, irreparable, $20-to-produce garbage watch
Its automatic lol
I don't think they had much choice.
