There’s been a lot of talk about the MoonSwatch ever since its release a year ago. It’s polarised opinion with some saying it’s a fun, cool, playful watch, whilst others bemoan the poor build quality, the colour bleeding off the cases and onto wrists and the dreadful straps.

Nevertheless, by some estimates more than a million of them have been sold in the last 12 months.

I confess, I got caught up in all the hype and I recently bought one.

Having since got hands on with the MoonSwatch, I’m surprised that no one appears to have pulled either watch brand up on the issue I stumbled into, which is hiding in plain sight.

This is Swatch and Omega we are talking about. Honestly, both brands ought to be embarrassed and feel abashed.

Initially, I wondered whether it was tantamount to fraud.

It was all rather upsetting and a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

Let me explain…
