Unboxing & Review of the NEW Swatch BioCeramic (under $150!)

In this episode of Beer & Watches I review the #swatch #bioceramic. I purchased this on 5th avenue in New York. The goal? To get a Swiss, Ceramic Watch fro under $200. The watch came in at well under $200 at the Swatch store. Question is though, is it worth the money?
Well in this video you will get all these answers and more as we go together to buy the watch, then unbox the watch and finally do a FULL, unbiased review of all the watch specs good and BAD and trust me there are a few bad points! BUT, does the good outlay the bad? See what you think!

The all white model looks better than I expected to be honest, never paid much attention to it in stores. Got the mustard skies model myself, big & mostly bright yellow. I love it as something not so serious compared to the rest of my collection.

[@BourbonDrinker]

Swatch makes good watches. I bought my 14 year old daughter a Swatch and it started her love of watches. I just bought a Seiko 5 SRPE57K1, put it on a brown leather strap. Absolutely love this watch. Great review.

[@BeerandWatches]

You know Swatch kinda started my love of watches back in the 80s now that I think about it. I forgot all about that. I had a Pop Swatch. That Seiko sounds nice man. I am really digging the look of the Seiko 5s

[@DentSideDee71]

Just the 5 not the Seiko 5 sport?

[@RobinsWatchJourney]

Great to see you back in the watch space which inherently means you have survived all your escape attempts. Well done.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahaha, I did but only just! There is quite the story there :( Feels good to be back Robin :)

[@bevboakes8982]

Hi Matt,nice to see you back on form. Got a couple of Swatch watches good for just grabbing and going, then pop into Swatch shop when new batteries needed. The one you just reviewed is a bit on the large side,so will check out if the others are a little bit smaller. See you on your next review.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey my friend, so good to hear from you and it really does feel nice to be back :) I have been a fan of Swatch since the 80s so feels good to have one back in my collection. It's a BIG BOY for sure!!!

[@zimtage1744]

It's nice to see ceramic being used on affordable watches. I would love a super rugged ceramic, sapphire, NH35 watch for under $500

[@BeerandWatches]

Ooooo now there is an idea! I would love that too :)

[@RJ-cq8dd]

Ceramic is not rugged... It can crack

[@zimtage1744]

@@RJ-cq8dd tell that to Tudor. I guess you know more about watches than they do

[@RJ-cq8dd]

@@zimtage1744 you do know that ceramic is just a kind of stone right? I've seen pictures of an expensive ceramic watch that cracked just because the steel screwdown caseback was tightened too much. I would much prefer carbon for a black case.

[@zimtage1744]

@RJ I've seen shattered sapphire crystals. Not sure what your point is but Rado has been making ceramic watches for years and other companies are jumping in with some really cool offerings. Maybe the watch industry should hire you as a consultant before they make a horrible mistake. After all, you seem to know more about watch design than they do

[@WatchWitt]

Love the curves and shape of that caseback, how it integrates with the lugs and strap. The white looks good on you! And welcome back!!!

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks buddy :) Really good to be back! I have missed you all. Yeah, I dig this watch. I think it looks good against the tattoos :)

[@mattys1467]

Brilliant to have you back. Fascinating watch, I suspect that sustainability element is going to become seen more often in the future. Swatch, as ever, are getting ahead of the game. I liked the look of the watch but would have to go for a colour that wouldn't show up the dirt. Great review 👏 👌

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey buddy, great to be back, I’ve missed it 😊 They do all kinds of colours and designs in this line. They actually just added a whole bunch more really cool designs. You should check them out. Have a great weekend👍

[@julienfroidevaux1143]

Ahead with the game ? A throw away watch you can't service ??? I like Swatch but why ?!???

[@shaunswatches4169]

Soooo good to have you back Matt! Look at all those watch shops man I'd be in heaven! Cool watch not my cup of tea but I'm full metal watch man atm 🤙

[@BeerandWatches]

It’s good to be back man😊👏 Missed you all

[@JusttheWatch]

All right, new video! Cool watch, and cool to catch up a bit with you!

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey buddy, so nice to hear from you. It’s been tooooo long. Hope you are keeping well my friend. Best, MJ

[@kirktingblad6667]

It would be fun if they made a lot of replacement designs to completely change the look of the watch.

[@pdmotors5027]

Great to see you back Matt, not so sure about the watch though, very much a niche market piece for me, but to each their own.

[@BeerandWatches]

Good to be back my friend. I have missed you all :)

[@silverhippie3910]

Missed this video coming out. Love hearing your voice again! Probably a little to big for me but like the design and the price. Still loving the Stalingrad. It’s my daily wear watch. My little guy isn’t so little anymore. He started walking just this week! Pretty soon he will be coming for the Rolex🤣🤣. Welcome back MJ!!✌️✌️✌️

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey buddy. Good to hear from you, it's been too long! I guess REALLY long if your little one is walking now...HOLY MOLY that went fast! I had one of my Stalingrad's on the other day, they are sooo nice! Love that brand although not heard anything from them as of late. As for the Swatch, it's a beast that's for sure. Have a great weekend with the family man. Best, MJ

[@gavowassy7655]

Good to see you back on here Matt! As per usual another brilliant video.. Love the watch but as you say the dirt factor is a thing.. Maybe if you have something like Jif or Cif as its called now in the UK it might clean it up a bit

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey man, great to hear from you, it's been a while. Thank you for the kind words, doing this video was fun :) Those cleaning supplies may work. I remember it as Jif from living in the UK, brought back memories. All the best buddy

Thanks Phil 😊🙏 It’s good to have that back too 👍👍

[@77cjam]

Good seeing you back mate (and seeing 5th Avenue) . I'm not one who goes weak at the knees at the mention of a Swiss watch, but I do love Swatch. Love the 80s vibes. As you say sometimes it's nice to have a fun watch on your wrist. Had that particular wheatbeer numerous times. I remember first wheat beer I had was in the Black Forest in Germany many years ago and I had no idea what I ordered, just assumed it was a regular beer. When it came out in a big tall glass and cloudy I thought what is that! But loved it ever since. Enjoy the Swatch

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey buddy, it’s good to be back 😊👍 I had the same experience with wheat beer 🍺 in Germany funnily enough. Small world!!!

[@peterkull8354]

That was a nice vid Matt ! The watch sure is not my cup of tea BUT it was good to see you with a beer altough it was a bit strange (the beer). A banana, lemon, orange zest aroma beer, whow we don´t have that kinda stuff here in old Germany

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks so much Peter, glad you enjoyed it. Funny thing is the beer is from Bavaria lol

[@peterkull8354]

@@BeerandWatches I will find out about this and let you know ! I doubt these Bavarians dare to serve that stuff here in Germany.

[@Dave062YT]

It's a great looking watch but I 'd find it very hard to read and would go for a darker colour for sure .The w/r is a bit disappointing when its rival the Casioak is 200m

[@BeerandWatches]

True, true and true :)

[@sparko2012]

The black version is even more difficult to read!

[@goldieslacks]

I remember when swatches were 40 dollars. That's when I was in middle school. The last one I bought was 80 dollars and that was around 2009. I wouldn't waste money on them because the last one I bought was garbage compared to the ones from the 80's.

[@BeerandWatches]

OMG me too! Those were the days! I do agree, the ones in to 80's were great! Best, MJ

[@Tintoycar]

[@roberth7054]

I am a casual Swatch collector, i have over 30 pieces but nothing crazy like what I have seen. I just cannot get into these, way too big and clunky. I like 41-44 or so for case size and the depth is distracting. It'd be nice if they brought back the X Lite series

[@dplanetta]

Great to have you back. Your positivity is infectious. Love it. Keep em coming. Cheers. Btw you forgot your signature tag line.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey man thank you, so good to be back :) OMG, you are soooo right. The tag line!!! I guess that's what happens when you take some time off lol

[@markedfortime]

Happy to see you back in the watch saddle! However, I have to say, I'm not the biggest fan of Swatch watches. I bought one for my wife many years ago and couldn't stand the unnatural and forceful..almost aggressive TICK..TICK..TICK..TICK. Give me an old pocket watch that has an 18bph tick.tick.tick.tick and each tick has a bit of a ring to it. Or if i hold one of my higher beat movements to my ear and it puts me to sleep.

[@BeerandWatches]

Yeah that Tick Tick is pretty aggressive. I do agree, it's a lot nicer coming from a vintage pocket watch. However I am one of the few that kinda likes it on a modern watch. It's comforting to me. Not sure why

[@Olddirtytiger]

Love the switch funkyness mechanical quartz is defo unique Would buy one if tad cheaper only coz for same money (£) I can pick up a more tool like diver .... but its a Swatch u need at least one in the collection ...I have 2 😁

[@BeerandWatches]

Agreed, everyone needs at least one ☝️😉 You should check out their automatic line! The redesign of the traditional rotor is really cool 😎

[@phillipedwards420]

Great to see you back Matt! How about a few more cool shots of New York for us folk who are still unable to travel ? (Yeah thanks Aussie govt…🤣)

Good to be back man. Missed you all. I know, the world has gone crazy!!! I personally cannot wait to get back to some sense of normality!!! Hang in there my friend. A lot worse places to tough it out than Australia 🇦🇺😉👏

@@BeerandWatches yes you’re certainly right about that mate. It’s important not to lose perspective. We are very blessed to be here in Aus! Hope your show continues to be a success and you keep safe mate. 👍

[@jenna2026]

I wish wristwatches were still popular, even with smartwatches it is still not the same...the cell phone killed the wristwatch. At one time though, everyone had a wristwatch.

[@BeerandWatches]

You know Jenna they are still popular to us watch lovers and to be honest I think it's kinda cool that not as many people wear them now because of the cell phone. Makes our club a little more exclusive :)

[@jirimijirimijirimi]

dress watches are unbeatable though, new tech or not

[@felo6035]

Hello Matt, so glad to see you, and thank you for a great review. I like the watch but unfortunately too large for my 6.75in wrist 😕 that said, I would like to add a Swatch to my collection...thus will be taking a look at their catalog. Maybe I can find a retailer in Miami so I can try them out. Thank you again, be well, take care and all the best my friend 👍

[@BeerandWatches]

My pleasure 😊🙏 Swatch actually have some great watches now. You should check out their automatic line! They have redesigned the whole rotor, it’s actually really cool👍👍 I hope to pick one up at some point. Totally affordable too.
