Junk or not bad for a sub $300 watch



I like the Mission To Jupiter version






Mission to the Moon looks like a real $6000 Omega Moonwatch







So does Mission to Mercury







The Mission to Uranus version looks a little "light in the loafers"







The rest:


Mission to the Sun





Mission to Venus





Mission to Earth





Mission to Mars looks like an '80s Swatch





Mission to Saturn





Mission to Neptune





Mission to Pluto

Junk. Colors have leaked onto people’s wrists, battery can’t be replaced, and pushers known to break/fall off.

Well, that's disappointing. I was thinking about buying a few.

I've heard they feel like a McDonald's toy. Big hype over them though so they're still pricey for what you get.

I have a Speedy, kind of wanted one as a novelty, maybe would have bought one if available online. If you are looking for a watch and only want to spend $300, there are significantly better options.

Now that the novelty has faded, I’m not sure when it would get any wear in my collection. It is a Swatch, it is disposable by nature.

It’s easier to use my phone or Apple Watch.

Nah. That’s about the color I would expect for a watch called “mission to your anus”

I have a Breitling Avenger made from Polymer that is light but you can still tell it is quality. Guess these aren't close to the same.

Watch this interview with Dave Portnoy about his watch company he started. These guys will explain a lot about the watch industry and what is investable versus buying as a consumer.

Last I remember, you can't get them at retail. They are only offered at the Swatch stores.

Pissed off every traditionalist and owners of the original (Manual Wind) moonwatch. Same as the difference between the Speedmaster Moon and the Speedmaster reduced.

Abomination of perhaps the greatest historical timepiece ever.
