Fun swatch. I suppose the brown one with the ring around the sub dial at 6 would move quickly. Isn't the ring Saturn? I can't see the hands on the upper 2 sub dials.
This Saturday is release date.

I assume they are all plastic. They look nice but I can’t deal with the all plastic.

I just saw this and rushed here. I want one, yet feel they'll be tough to get and end up selling for more than the 250 CHF.
Is this a mistake? I certainly think so, but it'll generate buzz, create sales volume, and also be a wonderful entry point or way for those who can't afford an Omega yet to have something like it.
If none of you are interested and have the chance to buy one new let me know. I'm eyeing the black one, but still not 100% sure of this concept.

What is BIOCERAMIC? Take 1/3 bio-sourced plastic. Mix in 2/3 ceramic! BIOCERAMIC offers you is a lot more resistance and at the same time a silky soft touch.

I like them. Just got back online after a quick trip to mainland and saw all the fuss. I don’t think they’ll devalue the Speedy Pro at all. Swatch has updated their website and show CDN pricing at $320. Available in only 3 boutiques in Canada. I’ve often thought I’d like to add a white, silver or panda Speedy to my collection, now I can add blue as well. Hopefully they add them online at some point.

muckymark I'm hoping the same. I viewed the release location for each country and most don't have a lot. I'm hoping they become available online because I will be placing an order for the Moon version (Black and Grey). All the buzz has me worried though but hopefully they'll be sensible, focus on sales volume and not restrict availability further.

I think we have a swatch boutique in Dallas, I’ll try to make it over there when they launch. They say Saturday sales only at select Swatch stores. Not boutiques. Limit 2 pcs per customer afaik. One wonders if a sales receipt dated 3/26/22 would add a few pennies to the value of the piece being it's the first day of sales?

Crazy….People are posting responses from Swatch stating they will be available online in the near future. I’m thinking some potential flippers are going to get burned.
