I love the Omega brand but have never really been able to afford it or never internally could justify buying one. I refused to pay any sort of resale values for these until I got the Mission to the Moon at retail. I loved it so much, put different straps, wore it daily for about a month and then literally out of the blue decided to take the plunge and buy myself an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. My decision to get the moonSwatch was the reason i transitioned to the MoonWatch. And then of course I bought a few more MoonSwatches only because they are fun things to wear and you can colour coordinate them with sneakers or a fit. And of course, it’s brought SO many people into the hobby! Which is always a good thing.

Don't waste your time for whoever is trying to find a moonswatch. just buy one of our stainless steel chronographs, it's a more durable, more attractive design, and most importantly, Worth your money and time.

​@@kaisanso5901I was just in Vegas and popped by the Swatch store. Sure there were people looking at them (2-3 from what I saw), but I didn't see anyone actually buy one. They had most of the missions except for the Uber popular ones like the Mission to the moon. I took was jaded by the Omega logo, the attractive face, and the fact that I could actually have the opportunity to purchase a watch I had never seen in real life for sale brand new. I did not buy one after considering the Mars and Saturn for over half an hour and contemplating if I should go back a day or two after but never went back. Now I am back home in Arizona and am thinking with a clearer mind. The excitement of it and being such a pretty watch gets to your head, but you eventually realize by touch that buying a Mercedes SUV at $35k new won't give you G Wagon quality even if they both share the same looking badge.

Love this video format, would love to see more!! I think people will appreciate learning more about the business that creates the watchs they want! Great job guys!

I bought my Jupiter around half a year ago and it is gorgeous. Had to adjust the pointers with the pusher-combo once but now it is running reliable ever since.

Very, very good video, mista! Initially, I wanted to buy the whole collection. After initial failure because I was not nearby any swatch boutique, I gave up. By no means buying a premium price for dishonest flippers. I decided finally and bought a Speedmaster 3861 brand-new flesh and bone. I am much more than happier.

The important take away with this which Nico finally pointed out is how a real powerhouse Swatch was and still is, something that most of the moonswatch content here on youtube fail to acknowledge

The moonswatches are brilliant in many different aspects. Quality is as you’ve pointed out not one of them. My son and I visited Seoul earlier this year when we noticed some strange event taking place. People where forming a line outside, apparently something was about to happen. It turned out to be the line for a special Swatch event. We joined the line and ended up buying two mission to the moonshine pink gold watches. I treasure it.

Great video Nico. It was a genius move by Swatch to collaborate with Omega. The watch world went crazy over the release and I think it brought new people to like watch collecting. Keep up the great content. Lots of love from Australia. Abs

ITS NOT A COLLABORATE!! IS ONLY 1 ENTERPRISE: "GRUPO SWATCH"

I think that this is a smart move for the big brands, even though they have to somehow "spend" their prestige if, as you said, they're able to convert 5% directly to their brand that's already a huge win. But if someone doesn't feel like buying the "main" version of that watch but still interested in watches, is one more wrist, maybe someone who started with a MoonSwatch will end up with an AP, and maybe if there was a colab as you suggested (Casio x AP) someone who started there would end up with an Omega. This is good for the watch market, period.

I love the high energy fun videos but just letting your knowledge spill out and dropping a super informative video like this was a great switch up that I truly enjoyed

The Mission to Jupiter was the first one that caught my eye when these came out, due to the khaki dial/black strap combination and contrasting orange seconds and chronograph hands. I have a thing for muted earth/warm tones for my watches as they sort of give off a vintage-y vibe, but ultimately never got a Moonswatch. I like that you have the exact colourway!

Ive had one since around launch... it's very fun to wear. Also much more durable than what Ive been hearing online. The plastic case holds up surprisingly well to scratches and Ive had zero issues with it so far after wearing it 1-2 times a week.

You've missed one of the main points - in the run up to the launch date they said they would make the watches available to purchase online but then they went back on that promise. I don't want to drive 150 miles to a store, only to find out that they don't have the model in stock that I want. But now I know the watch is not worth the money, so I'll forget it.

A perfect storm really. Props for Swatch for doing this and causing the entire watch market to explode. Rolex, AP, PP, etc...have never had drop go this nuts and achieve that much attention. Swatch tapped into the average man/kid/woman group and caught lightning in a bottle.

This is an incredible video Nico, good analysis and a great hypothesis with an honest conclusion.

Could not agree more ! Back in the 80s/90s tag produced the f1 watch for around £100 which for many was the introduction to buying quality watches by building an affordable starting watch as you say many big name watch companies would benefit

I got one because I love both omega and swatch. But honestly, he’s not wrong. I had to buy a new strap for mine and still only wear mine maybe 2-3 times a month. It’s a cool story, but it’s $260 to sit in my watch case and show people pictures. Which in all honesty, is also fun to do.

If it was $50 buck maybe I’d buy one knowing it can’t get much wrist time. But definitely not spending near $300 for something I will never be able to wear without fear it will fall apart.

It went the opposite way for me. I had an appointment booked to view and possibly purchase a Speedmaster, then the Moonswatch dropped and I felt that it had severely cheapened the Omega brand. Therefore I cancelled the appointment.

My dad got me my first watch which he happened to be right place at the right time and got me an mercury moonswatch…I love it, I’m now on a mission😉to collect as many as I can ✌🏼

So I actually have one of these (I got the Jupiter one in Germany a few months ago). I know it’s not really an omega and is essentially a marketing ploy but for me personally it’s one of the best watches I have ever had. It’s light, comfy, simple. It’s great. It serves a purpose. The real issue with these watches is people buying up the stock in stores and flogging them for twice the price online!

Hey The moonswatch has got me into watches. I now have 3 swatches and a Garmin. Now saving for a Speedmaster... So.. You are spot on about what swatch/omega have done.. New wrists. Great vid again.

Nico keeps it real ! I'm an Omega watch collector along with other brands in the watch industry. The watch is nice , but not worth the price. As a watch collector I can appreciate the forward thinking of a brand or brands.

After chasing these for a year and spending a lot of time waiting outside the singapore swatch stores, I decided to get a Speedmaster-reduced (which I love) and a cheap fake moonswatch...which together cost me less than some of the ebay prices for a moonswatch

I got a headache with the zoom-in and zoom-out and couldn't got more then a 2 minutes before leaving ...👇

I remember going to King of Prussia mall in PA (the only Swatch boutique around that wasn't in NYC), and there was a line all the way to the door of the mall, before they had even opened the mall itself. Within 5 minutes of my arrival, security came around to those of us at the back third of the line, saying sorry all the watches had been spoken for. So I go off further into the mall, passing the rest of the line, and saw that about of the first 30 people in line, almost all of them were clearly on their phones, setting up ebay listings....the majority of the boutique's watches all went to resellers, who within 30 minutes of posting those listings, already had bids for the Mission to the Moon, and Mercury as high as $1500. I've never been able to find another Moonswatch that wasn't going for at least 2x retail. Utterly killed my desire for one. Especially after hearing that people were posting about the thing breaking on them, or the acrylic crystal being so soft, that if the thin cardboard lips of the box brushed against it, as you opened the box, it would scratch the hell out of the watch.

Great video, Nico! I don't know how to feel about the Moonswatches but there's certainly a market and demographic for them. I kinda like the Mission To Mars, because I like the colour red. Have an awesome day. Would love to talk watches with you and possibly have you roast my collection. 🤪

The marketing element is definitely the main value of the Moonswatch release and gaining more exposure: * It's price is attractive and got me into watches more seriously * Looking into watches more seriously made me want an actual Speedmaster as a goal * Allowed me to pick a better starter watch through looking at watches more seriously, but to also appreciate the Moonswatch for being the gateway.

I've been harping on about these watches and this very issue since the launch. Initially I was really excited that I could (would) get an Omega branded watch for around $350 AUD. As living in rural Australia, Swatch stated they'd be available online and not having access to a Swatch "boutique", I thought awesome I can get one. Then they ran out, and then they decided not to sell online, and then they decided to drip feed supply only through "selected boutiques" and this basically torpedoed my hopes of owning one. In my opinion the cynical Rolexesque limiting of supply and cash grab that preceded the initial release has destroyed my desire to own what I believe is a really cool relatively affordable watch. There is not a snowflakes chance in hell that I'm paying overs for one to the equally arsehole flippers online. Lastly, as far as I'm concerned, Swatch and Omega can collectively get stuffed.

Thx for so much for this vid! Was waiting for it for SOOOO long thx man

Love this style of video Nico, good to throw these in with the review & vlog vids. I loved that Tudor video you did agessssss ago. Cheers

Peoples think that they are getting cheap Omega, but they are getting expensive Swatch

While this was a massive success right now for Swatch Group, at least in the short term, I think Omega diluted their brand. I wont be surprised if Omegas either drop in value in the future or cant sell new Omegas for what they used to get.

Thinking of buying mission to Pluto, put a red strap on it. How is it holding up still? Hearing horrible stories about it, what’s you experience? 🙂

It's a watch you can't fix. Even a $20 Timex you can pop the back off. . . Even a MVMT Swatch's are crap and you're supporting a company that's AGAINST the right to repair when you buy one of their products. No, absolutely not. Bad watch, bad company.

The collab idea is a great way to introduce new watch collectors like kids into the luxury side of watches.

Bought the watch. Like the look of the watch face. Love how light it is, comfortable watch to wear for long hours. Will consider getting a 2nd piece if i get the chance.

These types of collaborations should come out of their advertising budget. Keeping costs down and quality up.

2:47 sound like "Sail" song with lower key 😂. And I remember when the moonswatch was launch here in Malaysia, it was CRAZY asf. People swarm the store like flies on a poop

I love this type of informative videos, i hope to see more

I was thinking of getting the Mission to Mercury. But your content really makes sense in terms of quality.

Better than an unboxing. The mother watcher is actually speaking his mind. So good.

Best review i saw on the moonswatch. Never really wanted an Omega until i actually had the mission to the moon. So now i just need to get promoted to get one 😂

I agree with this video and it’s the reason I’m going to buy a mission to the moon on Wednesday. I finally found somewhere with it in stock and retail prices not too far from my place. I will literally never wear it, especially after these reviews. I just find it to be significant historically for the brands and watches generally. I also want to own it so I can say I have a speedy until I’m no longer a brokie and can buy a real one.

I agree with this entire video 100% however I would add that I think the much smarter move would have been to make the moonswatch in the quality fitting with the price. Either leave as is and drop the price down to 50.00 or make it have the quality of a 250.00 watch. I think that would have built a much larger customer base for both brands. Also on the casio and AP collab that I wish would happen. I think it would be beyond genuis. It would bring AP to the masses and creat such brand awareness it would be as known as Rolex. Sure the conversion rate would not be massive however the conversion rate from non watch people to watch and would build their name

Loved this format of your content

Thats true just after i got my moonswatch, now im watching your videos and having interest on watches i even went to an Omega store just to see them lol, that strategy that they use was awesome

Nico struggling getting the nato strap at the end had me 😂

A proper CasiOak would be a legendary watch. I think the biggest hurdle there is what price point do you target? Casio already sells watches in the $1000+ market. If you make the jump to $2k or $3k there might be other watches that will hold value better, maybe that could fit in that category. Over $5k you start having some real options.

Nico, I hope someday that you come out with some sort of book \ guidelines for general watch collection\love minus the Hublot of course. Maybe an all in one guide with your passion towards anyone starting out. And maybe the general history of all these artisans and their uniqueness with design and movement and what it means to a consumer. BTW, love your energy, absolute legend in my mind!

As a huge space nerd, who will probably not be able to own a real speedmaster for quite awhile, I waited 15 hours in line for this and turned down a 1500 dollar offer outside the shop. I love it and I would say it was worth it

7:40 me too buddy, in my place, many watches stores are selling them somewhere above 400 USD and that is just absolutely insane...

Soooo coool that you wearing one. I am from India and i cant afford Omega speedmaster as of right now but got two Moonswatch asbsolutely love it everysingle second and everyday.

Love your channel! I have collected all the moonswatches and absolutely love them but they are very cheaply made and everyone that I have has scratches and dings from very small bumps. Definitely not made to last but a super cool and fun thing to collect! All that said I don’t think there’s any way an AP and Casio collaboration would come close to the same sales. The plant them is what sells. I would however buy an AP Casio collab

I have a Moonswatch, but on a budget it's much cooler to have the "new" 43,5mm Bulova Lunar Pilot. Still quartz, but with a nice sweeping movement.

You should do a comparison between the moonswatch strap and the official omega velcro strap, I had both of them next to each other and they are shockingly similar, but the omega strap costs more than the whole moonswatch :D

I wore two swatches for about 15 years when I was younger I loved them both and got me into watches

I have to admit that I like the MoonSwatch a lot and I've been thinking about getting one since they first came out, but the low quality really dissuaded me from doing so. I actually went for a Seiko 5 Sports for the same price (€10 less actually). I love it.

Funny i was considering it too and went for a Seiko 5

Like this video format one in a while, refreshing

Love mine, lol. Can’t lie. I’m a lucky and loved dude. My wife is an absolute studdette, she pulled this off for my birthday in September ‘22. We’re in the PacNorthwest, and she asked her coworker in San Francisco to give it a try at their Swatch boutique. She had a hard time getting them to sell it to her. Lady’s got a golden tongue, and I got the Mission to Mercury! Awesome 50th birthday present, ain’t gonna lie!! And yup it’s cool as hell to wear, and yes I baby it, lol

The closing is gold! Do I like it? "I absolutely love it" but your head gesture says otherwise..

Hey Nico which watch do you think should be the first watch on mars, the first watch on another planet?
