I'll wait until they are online also. No stores in Ireland with them as far a I know.

The last watch I purchased was the Swatch Q when it came out in Feb 2020. So hoping to get the Swatch x Omega aswell.

It was posted that they may be available online at some point. I saw it on this forum somewhere.

My only option would be online, I’m isolating. I’ll pop online and check every so offer to see if I get lucky. But the marketing does say in store only so not feeling bold

It does say that, so I am not too confident. I read it on the Wired website also that they may be available online. But I will also keep an eye out online.

Yes understandably so, but queuing 48 hours before release.

For a Swatch that will also be released online on a later date and is not a limited edition 🤪.

But you're right meanwhile in London...

The amount of stupid people never ceases to amaze me.

[mark1]

Working opposite swatch Carnaby yesterday and a few guys were already queuing there in the morning, kick in the teeth to find out they can only purchase 1, funny to see all had the same bags from drops that day from trainer shop and supreme, guess better than working for a living

[Dice]

There is profit to be made on eBay by the looks of it so yes, better than working for a living

[Skinback]

And guarantee none of these people who flip for a ‘living’ pay any tax on their profits

[kfroms]

Looks like Swatch closed all relevant stores, worldwide.
This is either a well planned marketing coup or they have quite simply no idea of the current culture.

Will wait for the online release. They aren’t limited.

It's a fun collab and I'll pick one up when they make their way online or to local branches.

Can't help but laugh at people charging more than the cost of an actual speedy lol.

[Hubble Bubble]

I find it bewildering.

[JockoLad]

Historically I only ever wore my reliable Casio Foxtrot 91 Whisky - a real work horse and ‘Everyman’ type of watch. I was actually very lucky to find one in Argos for £6.99, reduced by £3!

Recently I went analogue and ‘splashed out’ on a SwatchPay, allowing me to go cardless when out and about. I felt the Apple Watch was too flash and liked that the modern was secretly contained within an understated, classic Swatch. It’s been a great addition to my time telling arsenal. 

Please excuse the hairy wrists…

I suppose it depends if they do go online or back in-store
I have been trying to buy a Rolex Oyster perpetual an affordable Rolex which is not limited but you try buying one in-store or online at cost, impossible

I've corrected your sentence

An affordable Rolex which is easily available at retailers or online,

I'm afraid those days are long gone.

I know that it's not the same but have you considered alternatives such as Tudor?

I have the BB58 in blue, stunning watch, very reliable as well, pretty much +5 seconds in a week. Highly recommend them as an alternative, at least you can pick a Tudor up, unless you've years of purchase history with an AD you stand no chance .
