    These are available outside of the UK. Walked into 4 stores while traveling each of them had them available.

    The red, pink & yellow versions available in Edinburgh today, visited out of curiosity, would’ve liked a closer look a the Moon and Mercury models.

    I went into London yesterday and tried all 3 stores. I was hoping for a Mercury or moon. No luck unfortunately. There wasn't any queues this time and they had a Venus & Uranus at all stores then a mix of Mars and Sun.
    The assistant said they usually have most of the white/light strapped models in stock now but the darker strapped models go much quicker.

    On a side note the new Battersea power station shopping centre was nice with a great range of watch shops.

    That’s good to hear, my sister just asked me to keep an eye out for a Uranus for her & in at Battersea on Saturday. It’s a shame she didn’t ask me last week because they had them when I was in the Regent St store 🤦🏻*♂️

    In Covent Garden today and couldn’t resist going into the swatch store. Didn’t enquire if they had any in myself but a steady stream of people coming in and asking. Overheard the sales assistant saying they had plenty of stock coming in daily. The only one they had left at the moment was the pink one.

    On side note. I really liked the look of some of there steel sistem 51 models and was quite tempted. For less than £200 I think I would prefer to put my money towards one of those.

    Popped into Swatch in Amsterdam yesterday and snagged this:

    First thing to go was that awful Velcro strap!

    Manager told me they are getting more frequent stock and the regular grey market hustlers are getting less frequent too! But he warned of a new scam when they target someone leaving without a Bag and offering to sell them their newly acquired MoonSwatch, which is, of course, fake.

    A mate and I went to the Swatch store in Battersea today; he bought the yellow (Sun) and I bought the red one (Mars). There was a constant stream of people popping in asking for them when we were purchasing, in fact they received two offers for my red one while it was sitting on the counter waiting for the transaction to go through! It is strictly one per person but they seem to have a few coming in.

    That looks really good. Same model I'm after. Once the flippers are done I think we will a lot more availability.

    Well Santa did well this year and I found this under the tree! Hints were well caught by my wife…

    Now where are folks getting their straps from? I fancy a sailcloth/ DSOTM feel, if anyone can recommend any with curved ends? Seem to be hard to find in UK, but loads in the US and don’t want to spend more on the strap than the watch itself ideally… Also keen to try dark grey rubber on it, Amazon seems awash with them, so any recommendations welcome..



    Edit, just switched to this and it feels much better than the original!

    I wasn’t going to bother getting one but pretty pleased with it when surprised by the mrs yesterday. The Velcro strap isn’t too bad either but I’ll have a play around with some others to see which I prefer. She said she managed to get one from the pop up stall in the Trafford Centre. No queueing at all

    I put my Jupiter on a black/brown (kinda similar to the case colour) nato strap, but keen to know what you end up choosing!

    That looks really good actually. I’ve not got anything that matches it that well really. I’ve just put it on a cheap black nato for now and it looks decent

    Thanks mate, managed to snag one. I had just assumed there'd be a massive queue and didn't feel like waiting.

    Managed to buy a Mission to Saturn today at the Trafford Centre, nice watch, pleased with it.

    They also had Mission to the Sun and Pluto for sale. Only a small queue at the pop up shop.

    The Edinburgh shop had a quite a few in stock on Wednesday (not the standard black/black). It seems stock is massively increasing or it’s no longer worth flipping so it’s lost 80% of the demand.

    Been in this afternoon and they had the light blue, pink and yellow in.
    Tried the blue on out of curiosity, was disappointed and not for me! Don’t think I would bother now with the black or Grey which I thought I wanted.
    The supplied strap is terrible and the watch just seemed cheap.
    And after all it’s still a £218 watch which will but you a decent watch.
    Just my take on them and everyone to their own.

    Managed to get a mission to mars, any ideas on what other straps could work? Still debating whether I should keep it or return it.

    I think it’s marketing genius from Swatch, reignited the hype again!
