OMG! Reminds me of my Swatch watches (during the 90s) which was bought with my hard earned money as a part timer during high school. Hopefully can post some pictures to share with everyone.

My first ever Swatch watch is a black and white with elastic strap.

Most memorable is the Swatch .beat (SQB101 Swatch 1999 Webmaster Beat). It is so hard to find replacement for the strap. I gave up.

Model: http://www.swatch.com/en/watches/sqb101-webmaster-static

Another one will be Swatch Skin. Transparent strap (with the shape of a condom). Yes, I'm serious.

I will update here after I check the Swatch watches that I bought. I just discovered that someone shared a link that has all the Swatch collection. rclxms.gif

Seems very quiet here, had my Swatch Irony for a long long time, very tough and long lasting watch I would say, still ticking as of today, it certainly looks cool with its' aluminium bracelet.

Anyway letting it go for now, need to clear up some space for my other watches.

Does Swatch usually have sales? Been aiming to get one, but the price is off-putting. Not to say Swatch watches are expensive, but I have other things to splurge my money on biggrin.gif

I just found out that Swatch provides lifetime battery change! Just bring over the watch, and the original receipt to the authorised outlets, and they'll replace the battery for free. woohoo~

no need original reciept bro, just the watch needs to be ori, hehe. Still rocking my Body & Soul from 2000, but now thinking of maybe custom plating/refurbishing it. Just wish i could find the ori strap for sale somewhere.

Kind of, I guess if there's no battery leak or damage to the movement, it should be fine.

This was my daily beater for about 5 yrs.
