    Both I and my neighbor are still quite disgruntled by the Omega × Swatch solar mission series. The watches come out okay on photos, but are incredible prone to scratches and the case material chipping away in small bits. Granted, both of us rode them heavy. The movement on mine broke after 13 months, my neighbor’s is still going fine, but the crystal is absolutely trashed, at this point it’s an ongoing experiment to see how long the watch will last and what will be the part that irrecoverably breaks first. AP × Swatch seems like a good experimental subject for someone who hasn’t seen the Omega × Swatch collab in action. Collectible value of those, I’m pretty sure, is lower than of a generic Tissot within the same price range.

    I’ve been wearing a Seamaster Good Planet since mid-2016 nearly daily. My primary work is typing things on a laptop. But my leisure life puts me in various situations and settings. I’m fairly “wide”, and a lot of entrances, doorways, hallways, and rooms are narrow for me, so I hit things, including with my watch. In 10 years I’ve managed to give the sapphire crystal some scratches, but really negligible; doesn’t look new, but absolutely far from scratched, I bet it looked this way after a month of me wearing the watch already. In comparison, the case is freakin’ destroyed: scratches, several of the bezel “teeth” bent, the metal bracelet is scratched nearly everywhere. So yeah, I believe that if the crystal is visibly scratched, and the case doesn’t have “Omega × Swatch” on it, it’s very likely fake, big time.

    Came across this post and started researching Kronaby. It’s actually ridiculous that I’ve never bumped into them. Their watches look amazing! And they’re hybrid smart, many models have a sapphire crystal, this is a really fine brand going completely unnoticed by people like me. Is there anything not great about them though? The price tag is reasonable, I think, but if there’s something to look out for, please share
