Omega Moonswatch VS Blancpain x Swatch Scuba - Who WINS?!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Swatch. Swatch wins! ;) Hahaha, loved this video Harrison! My first reaction to the Scuba was..... to hate it.... Like all watch geeks do. But you know, I think this is a really smart move.. Plus, if it gets more people excited about the Fifty Fathoms, that's a win in my books! :)

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Haha thanks Britt!! Hope your well and hopefully we can catch up soon 🙌🙌

[@kodiakc6227]

Dammit Brittany I thought you where one of the sane ones.

[@waxy954]

I picked up a Pacific Ocean recently. It is a cool, fun watch and something I can share with my son who is into watches too

[@golfendeavor8267]

I picked one up recently (Atlantic Ocean) and also owning few Moonswatch. I was not quite sure if I wanted one in the first place but fould myself in the Swatch shop again and pulled the trigger. Actually, you get more watch for the money compared to the MoonSwatch, especially a storage box (not cardboard) which is super nice and you can store any watch in there - maybe nice for travel too. Aside the Sistem51 could run up to 15-20 years, with 90 hours (almost 4 days) power reserve. Certainly looks more legible with much better loom than the Moonswatch and I love the date which none of the Moonswatch has. Overly impressed and whoever says its expensive, consider buying a 5K alternative and servicing it for 2-3 times the prize of the BlancSwatch every 5-10 years. 🤓

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Not sure where on Earth you're getting 15-20 years from, considering that many ppl have had their watches develop issues well before that. It's an unserviceable movement, which means that the watch is essentially dead after the movement inevitably fails. It'll probably end up being cheaper to keep buying Swatches instead of a proper luxury Swiss automatic watch, but that's if you ignore affordable Swiss brands like Hamilton and Tissot. Even if that affordable automatic has to be serviced every 5 years, it'll have an indefinite lifespan, which makes it better than a disposable Swatch, imo.

[@skunkeyebandit]

I was thinking the same. Where does he come up with the years grom ​@StardustLegacyFighter

Fellow watch nerd here. I have exactly these same 2 colours as you do!

[@masanobuyamamoto6395]

Hi Harrison, would love to hear your thought on the newest Blancpain x Swatch ocean of storms 😊

[@Jaycelestra]

went to a swatch store this weekend and was able to see both collabs.... the colorways for the blancpains are the dealbreaker for me... so i got the moonswatch...

[@rumalelev8241]

I have a Blancpain x Swatch Atlantic and the Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Full moon Snoopy in my Swatch collection. Both are beautiful and playful pieces and this is why i love Swatch.

[@mikew742]

The Blancpain in white and grey is the best looking. The black shading on the inside of the green and yellow versions make the actual 12-6, 3-9 dial appear even smaller, but the white dial doesn’t have that.

[@danielmartin8540]

Great video, as always! Which Nato strap did you put on your MoonSwatch? I am having the same issue with the velcro star on mine.

[@ahha6304]

OMG Harrison that's a risk you testing both watches haha. Great comparison as always.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate that!

[@stuartbrand5617]

Hmmm which plastic toy is better? Knowing how tough I am on watches the answer is Gshock. If Adrian Barker can break the pusher on his moonswatch then these things are not child proof.

[@stanislas4990]

Great comparison. I like the MoonSwatch and since one year and a half I am collecting them. I have bought one Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms and the quality is obviously much better than the MoonSwatch. More expensive than the MoonSwatch but automatic and water resistant, a big improvement.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks mate!

[@nikr1d3r32]

Harrison if you turn the velcro strap 180 degrees where the Omega logo is at the 12 o’clock side lugs and the Swatch is at 6 o’clock side of the watch, this will make the whole wearing experience much more pleasant because it fits smaller wrists better that way. You’re welcome 🤯😂👍

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

I bought the black Blancpain x and love it

[@PoweReserv]

Thanks! Good to see them both together. Your style is all Adrian! Are you mates? 😊

What happen after blancpain swatch movement die? can you replace it?

[@corner559]

Nope! You can't service it. It becomes landfill. It's a total waste.

[@Fredrikwatchesandartwork]

Blancpain 🏆 🙌🙌

[@hansakselos4636]

Would be great if you can do a little investigation and find out if the Blancpain version is serviceable (I assume change the movement)

[@rosomak8244]

It is not serviceable by any means. The movement isn't available on the free market.

[@hansakselos4636]

@@rosomak8244 I don't need for it to be service able by Joe Block down the street. I just need to know if I can deliver it back to swatch and they can swap the movement and get i back running if it fails.

[@marcustulliuscicero9140]

No, its sealed in the case forever. If it breaks in warranty they will replace the whole watch, out of warranty you have to buy a new watch@@hansakselos4636

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

It isn't.

[@stevedishon773]

@@rosomak8244 It is serviceable but has to be sent to Swatch.

[@marcustulliuscicero9140]

Not a fan of either of them. They are both disposable watches to some extent. Moonswatch better as quartz movements can at least have a new battery. I feel they should be treated as collectibles or souvenirs of the originals, not timepieces as such. 100% do not buy these as your only watch, but okay as a collection piece if you like it.

[@seaweed719]

Actually you can dive with that BlanSwatch. It’s water resistant to fifty fathoms (91m).

[@jt.8144]

NO NEED TO CHANGE BATTERIES ON THE OTHER SWATCH. Pure win.

[@josh33172]

Greetings from Belgium! I was at the Brussels Grand Place on the release of the Moonswatch, and the line was across the entire square and down the street. Though I believe they only released approx. 500 on the first day. My heart was a bit broken, but I'm kind of glad it was (in hindsight). Yesterday we went into Brussels for some shopping food and drink and saw the new Blancpains on display at Swatch. Went in, and the gentleman showed me the collection along with the black "Ocean of Storms"...maybe the boring replica but the one that had my eye from the start. We went and had a beer at a little hidden place we routinely visit, and my wife said I should buy it. So we went back and I did. They only had 50 pieces originally and only 14 left, but surprisingly no line, but it was the watches everyone was looking at. The couple bits of info I think that are left out is that the lum is "Grade A Super-LumiNova" and it has a sapphire glass on the rear. I gave it a good light shot around 11pm and at 6am this a.m. it was still faintly glowing, but enough so to make it legible. I am not a fan of quartz watches unless they're solar mostly because I don't like to change the batteries, and the 90hr power reserve is the longest yet. Not on par with the real FF's 120hr (I believe its that much), but I'll take it!

[@TheStrangersVlog]

I just went into the store in Brussels yesterday and also bought the Ocean of Storms after deliberating over a beer haha Wear it in good health!

[@josh33172]

​@@TheStrangersVlog Great minds think alike! It was my wife's decision to go to the Musée de la bière belge in the square because they only have two beers but they're cheap (La Chouffe right now) and its cozy, but the Capital is the best if we want something new, and À la Bécasse for the Geuze mix (a favorite of my wife).

[@finesse49]

Who wins? Swatch. They're laughing all the way to the bank after getting thousands of people to over-pay for poorly made, plastic, throwaway watches. There are much better qualty starter watches available for much less money.

If you are willing to spend a bit more, you can get a Hamilton, Tissot, Baltic, etc. There are waay better options at that price point imo. But some folks just want a cheap speed master so there's that.

[@Kewrock]

"The nato strap is pretty good for the money"??? $400 for a plastic watch. They could do better than a $5 strap.

[@anderssonzambrano9814]

Thanks!!!

[@International_Watch_Aficionado]

For me it's hard to tell. MoonSwatch can't be repaired but quartz movement will last longer. BxS has à plastic movement andnd if it can be replaced that could be cool. If it's not and both of them can't be repaired. Both lost.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

It can't be repaired.

[@kevinbutler1968]

I would buy neither but save my money for a new Timex GMT, cheaper and better looking.

[@michaelmccormick9469]

Really wanted the. Blancpain x Swatch, until i actually saw one. Each to their own, but massively over priced. Can;t help chuckling at the number of them on eBay at stupid prices! 🤦‍♂️

[@nikolaidiqnov6801]

It is just a fun and rather disposable watch. You pay for the design and that is it. The movement may not be servicable but it will last you at least 5 years. Can you buy a mechanical watch for less money- yes, you can. Then again, you do noy buy this watch to be your daily wearer. You buy it as something fun, colourful and a bit out of the ordinary. Overall, I think it is a nice watch.

[@skunkeyebandit]

Most important info missed, Blancpain auto is non serviceable and may onky last 3 to 5 years, then in the bin

Swatch doesn't own Rolex, so Swatch x Omega is the closest you'll get to that.

Excelent production

[@mjhastings4534]

From seeing the lines swatch wins everytime

[@kfkwAL7]

Seriously it’s £340. About the price of 2 decent tyres for a car, 3 decent meals in a restaurant. Less than the going rate for a service of most automatic watches. Why are people obsessed with the what if? Do people buy a £340 auto timex and think the same thing about servicing it. I very much doubt it. Honestly its the same copy and paste comments about plastic etc… Just enjoy it for what it is and if you can’t then it’s not for you.

[@kodiakc6227]

Hmmmm overpriced 💩 watches. I guess ill let all of the folks who think 400 dollars is just some "cheap fun" enjoy thier toys. My G shock was 52 dollars at Wal Mart, is an actual tool watch, incredibly accurate, has been too the moon on the wrist of space explorers, and had a 24 ton truck drive over it to still be ticking. I geuss i cant judge people for buying this watch, have it break a month later and than just say "oh well, it was only 400 dollars of cheap fun 🙃🙃🙃

[@golfendeavor8267]

I have yet to own this watch for 2 years before it breaks otherwise I can use the two years warranty. You may be unlucky and a 4K watch breaks after the warranty (often 2 years) and you will find yourself fixing it for 400-800 bugs. If I just want a watch I can buy a fieldwatch for 100$ which will outlast any GShock. These watches are not about money or even pretending to be alternatives to the original one. Just a bit of fun - just not for cheapskates 🤓

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

​@@golfendeavor8267What $100 field watch is going to outlast a G-Shock? I've had my £10 Casio for over a decade, which has been thoroughly used, and I've still not had to replace the battery. A G-Shock is on another level, and there's no watch out there that can match its toughness and durability. In all honesty, these Swatches are for rich collectors, not for serious watch enthusiasts who actually want to wear their watches. You may think that wasting money on a plastic toy is a form of entertainment, but smarter ppl think otherwise. Being economically frugal is a sign of intelligence, and only clowns call ppl of that calibre "cheapskates".

Swatch really outdid themselves this time, they successfully made a watch that's worse than the Moonswatch! Once the plastic movement dies, so does the entire watch.
