Can buy online but better take a look at the actual before deciding as many reviewers say it feels cheap. 400 bucks top up abit can buy the Tissot prx.

 

At that range can actually get a very nice tissot chronograph.

Best video I have seen so far with fair comments and perspective.  The video effects at the start which combines with clips from Apollo 13 is kind of fun

Swatch says blue dye rubbing off US$260 Omega watch is ‘harmless’

(Bloomberg) — Days after Swatch Group AG prompted a consumer craze with a budget version of its Omega-branded watch, some users began reporting a problem with their US$260 purchases: They can can leave dye marks on the wearer’s wrist.

The phenomenon has been flagged by buyers of the “Mission to Neptune” timepieces in the MoonSwatch series, in complaints on social media sites like YouTube and Reddit. The company said the dye bleeding off the watch is “harmless” and a “very, very rare experience.”

The discolouration will vanish over time, the company assured customers. The explanation is a “high amount of pigments used to achieve a strong colour result,” a Swatch spokesperson wrote in a response to questions from Bloomberg News.

“The pigment is not hazardous to skin, non-toxic, so this effect is completely harmless for the wearer,” said the spokesperson based in Biel, Switzerland, adding that the colour of the item will also be unchanged. “We have reported this to the quality management of our production facilities that have already taken all necessary measures on this matter.”

Demand for the item priced at around US$260 — a cheaper version of the iconic Speedmaster Professional or so-called ‘Moon Watch’ because of its use by U.S. astronauts — sparked a global buyers’ frenzy last week, with shoppers from London to Singapore mobbing Swatch stores to purchase the product.

While not being billed as a limited-edition item, the collaboration between the Swiss company’s luxury Omega brand and more budget-friendly Swatch label is also being offered at massive premiums of as much as thirty times its original price on EBay.

Beyond the fact that its harmless, must put disclaimer that blue dye from Neptune will start to cry to mingle with sweat of human kind or water 💦💦💦 of any kind. Chemical rejection, I mean, reaction. 

😂😂😂 Just Yada-ing. At least offer discount or say can choose to re-coat lifetime. I know, tan ku ku. 

Stay safe
