The MoonSwatch is now available to buy online, but only a few certain models and only in the US and china. Sorry UK/Europoean friends. Good news for us ‘Mericans though!

I saw this somewhere else. All I could think of is that sales of these particular models have slowed in the stores so they moved them online.

That's very generous of Swatch

Company that wants people to buy things from them makes it easier for people to buy things from them.

As opposed to companies that want to upscale their desirability by deliberately creating scarcity. Yep, what you wrote should be a mantra for the age.

Nothing new about that - De Beers have been doing it for decades. MoonSwatch going online must be a good thing for people who want one.

but now i don't care that much at this point. they blew their window of "hey, this is new and cool" and it ain't that big a deal any more. if that newer moonphase was available, maybe i would.

Well we limeys can't fall for the "late night browsing impulse purchase" routine.

This was my first thought too. I picked one up by chance last year. If it was available online a year or more ago I’d probably have bought more of them, but the fervor is gone to me.

I finally picked up one of these, I really wanted one when they first came out but ended up getting a D1 Milano sketch watch which became one of my favourite watches.

The moonswatch is a cool little watch I just see it as a bit of fun everything a Swatch should be. They are now available to buy just by walking into a Swatch shop I would not have bothered standing in line for one, if you are still considering one go out and buy.

^^^^ Is that any Swatch Shop?

The Swatch website still indicates a limited number of shops.

I did the rounds of the three Central London stores on a Saturday a few weeks back. Agreed, the regular MoonSwatch versions were readily available and being bought, but the Snoopy versions I was after was Sold Out and I learnt that long queues prevailed on the days stock delivery was expected.
