So many bad emotions
just because of this plastic marketing gimmick?
Please don't be angry, but as a watch lover I can't follow this hype or the feelings associated with it in any way.
Maybe I'm just too old and too conservative…
Swaaaaaaaat?
I got up super early and drove to King of Prussia mall to check this thing out. When I showed up at 8:20, I was told that all of 74 allocated watches to that store were gone and I can leave my name and address. So wait, their biggest launch, massive socia...
Clearly....
08:20 wasn't nearly early enough xD........ You should have been there at 5am ...
Sorry OP, not following you at all on this…..
What is at the King of Prussia Mall? Who did a massive social media launch? What are the 74 watches you reference?
Clearly I’m losing my touch….
OP never mentioned MoonSwatch or Omega or Swatch and posted on HoMe and I appear to be the only person who didn’t know what he was talking about 😳 Thanks for the pointer!
I always think of it as 'Kaiser Wilhelm, PA'
There is no accounting for city names in this country of ours!
Most densely-populated areas are incorporated as cities, towns, villages etc….
But some densely-populated areas are unincorporated and are thus designated as a “census-designated place” by the US Census Bureau for statistical purposes only.
Does that mean that King of Prussia has no mayor?
If correct, that's appropriate: how could a mayor preside over a king?
Let's be just a little more friendly on the front page
I left your finger inside but as the subject of your unhappiness was not very clear, to have "the bird" aimed at us here at WPS seemed a bit much. Now that I have read about a dozen posts on this same subject I guess the Omega / Swatch marketing folks wil...
Closed?
Let check it. Update: Aaa, is open. This i want to write, Swatch by Omega, Omega by Swatch. Honest, best a cool watch with the yellow and trendy white strap.
I am curious (and fascinated) I assume King of Prussia is a city in the USA
Pardon my ignorance but the name seems really fascinating ..don't want to check on wikipedia (yet) but it sounds a really interesting name perhaps with a rich history? do tell !
It's a suburb of Philadelphia
and I went ahead and looked it up earlier today (I'd heard of it but somehow never knew the story of the name): There was a tavern there in the late 1700s named, 'The King of Prussia' in celebration of Frederick the Great. The place ended up named for the...
Yes, very rich in history. Also adjacent to Valley Forge and many other connections to the 1700's which for the US is old.
I know it well, I grew up there (well sorta, I really haven't grown up yet according to my wife)
Apologies for not tracking this too closely...
I thought the Moonswatches were not limited -- that people can see/get them later. Is that not true?
I did not even notice your hand gesture as I was too focused on that rather beautiful timepiece you had on!
But I agree. I was initially excited about these products, and believe these to be a must for all speedy owners (and watch enthusiasts). But I am starting to get a little tired now and will wait until the hype dies down.
