Reply With QuoteJust dropped mine back at the store. Chrono pusher fell off. Customer service was good, and they said they'd be in touch.
Can this be bought in the Glasgow store yet?

Patience, at the end we will have one!

Got this as a walk in today. Some hassle from the 'gangstas' at the front but sometimes being a big bloke with no hair pays off
French gangstas too. I have heard rumours of this Kingston Kingpin ...Originally Posted by ryanb741
Choose your colour...the rip-offs are on eBay.
Apologies if this has been posted before.
What kind of hassle?Got this as a walk in today. Some hassle from the 'gangstas' at the front but sometimes being a big bloke with no hair pays off
It was ironic tongue in cheek referencing the fact that there are still problems in the UK with the wannabe gangstas trying to monopolise the queues. In reality no hassle as I got one from an Italian colleague.
Yes, that's where I bought mine a couple of weeks ago.

I popped into the Covent Garden branch yesterday at around lunch time just to have a browse and they had three models in stock at the time. They were Mars, Venus & Pluto.
Wow, from previous reports it's unusual for them to have models in stock like that (especially the Mars I understand). Perhaps demand really is slowing down.
It’s not surprising really. The Moonswatch is a fashion item and fashions don’t last forever (otherwise we would all still be wearing pop swatches).
Not surprising, they look like plastic tat and the pushers keep falling off ?!
I've seen the posts too and it seems a few have, but out of the XX thousands sold? Same as a few Speedmaster Pro's have issues when reaching customers, depite the supposedly vastly superior QC. Your comment about plastic tat shows you don't like them and that's fair enough, but don't let predjudice blinker your perspective.
new swatch store in the London power station opening selling the moonswatch apparently.....
No prejudice here. Different option, freedom of speech, no problem.
Yes - since Friday they have daily deliveries
Yellow / pink / red was still available this afternoon
Queuing was minimal

I’ve still got a POP Swatch 😎
Stuck my Jupiter on a NATO. Much more comfortable now.

Yep. I wondered into the Covent Garden shop yesterday, and got the pink and white Venus for my daughter's birthday in a couple of weeks. About two other people in the shop.
Who'd have guessed that a fashion watch would go out of fashion?
To be fair, though, Swatch got a lot of mileage out of the MoonSwatch.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
It would have been interesting to see if all colours were readily available how many of each colour they would have sold. They still seem very short of Mercury and Mars.
Can’t argue with the customer service. Pleased with what I was offer as a warranty replacement. Onto a Hirsch Duke from the off.
Yes, that one looks nice. Possibly better than the Moon version.
I will have to wait until the hype fully dissipates.
By chance I walked past the Swatch store on Oxford Street on Saturday. Massive queue outside, couldn't believe it considering I thought the hype on these was dying. Glad I don't want one as I wouldn't want to join that queue of 'watch enthusiasts'.
Dragonball Z possibly.

Ah right, perhaps it was that.
Seems like something worth queuing for
Kicking myself rather. After almost 3 years of near lockdown at home after having twins in 2020, my partner and I went into London for a day out / off and I happened to pass the Swatch store in Covent Garden. No queue but a security guard at the door who told me "they only have the red ones in stock" - I got talked out of it by my partner and now annoyed I didn't pick one up as of course it would have been an easy flip on here if I'd had a change of heart after I came home.
I got the chance to finally see them in person in the display case though and thought they looked good. Should have bought it! Damn.
Ah right, perhaps it was that.

I guess they have a market, but at least they're priced closer to their true value than the Moonswatch.

Thought the hype was dying down.
Ah well, no rush ...
Actually spotted one for the first time in the wild, the other day.
A guy was wearing it with a suit on a grey and black striped NATO.
It looked well from a distance. I think it was the Moon variant, but it looked darker.
If anyone really wants one, the Edinburgh shop seems like a good bet. Was there last weekend, they had all of them. One per customer.
Mine was spotted on my wrist by a wine waiter in a restuarant in London, so they're still desirable. I love mine (Moon) as it's still *that* dial and style, but I'm not afraid to wear it out, like I was with my £5k Omega.
I popped in yesterday lunchtime and they had none. It is luck of the draw.
Mercury… Liking it…
Thought the hype would have died down but I guess they're good Christmas presents. Line good further than the pic shows
Is that a JLC coffee truck in the back?
Mercury… Liking it…
Popped in on my way home. Only the yellow left if anyone is looking for one
7 different models in Lausanne yesterday. Unfortunately Moon and Mercury sold out immediately, and people still queue!
Some of the others really do look cheap shite. The basic Swatch were better quality. But I’m not surprised.
A friend picked up the mission to Venus today from the Covent Garden store as a Christmas present for his Daughter. He said he queued for around 20 mins and there were quite a few available after he left.
I still want to try one but don’t live or visit anywhere with a store that sells them!
How do you find out when they have stock to que? Might have to find out and plan a late day out
If not mentioned before, battery changes are free:

Unless you're friends with a store employee, the only way to find out is to walk in and ask. Or queue and ask.
That's a nice move - maybe they think that for the outlay of a few quid for them a certain small percentage of people will buy something new in store. In any case a good thing for customers - should be repeated by other quartz brands.
Does that include the X-33?
I do hope soDoes that include the X-33?

My wife happened to be in London last week, popped into the Covent Garden store around lunchtime and they only had the Sun and Uranus models left. Both too garish for me.
Currently in Krakow, they have about 7 versions but not the dark grey or dark blue.

Been looking to buy one for xmas and had a kook on .Chrono24.
The prices seem really high still. Cant see them being sold for their asking prices..
If you search sold listings on eBay it is clear that they can all be had for around £300 with the exception of the moon and mercury models. Those are still going for over £400.
Having handled them in a store I don’t even think they are worth the rrp and wouldn’t ever consider paying a penny more for one. They really are nothing but a cheap plastic watch.
In Austria more swatch stores are selling them than originally advertised at time of release. Everything apart from the dark blue, black and gray models available
