The MoonSwatch craze over?
No lines, no waitlist, and most models are freely available at the boutiques. Did the initial marketing & subsequent shortage create the excessive demand or was it a case of herd mentality? Same watch, same price but no takers now? Will this also happen to other brands that have a current supply/demand imbalance?

I don't think that the situation is....
the same all over the world. I happen to have one, and am enjoying it regularly to the fullest extent . I might even get another one later this year....
To my surprise
I've seen them on many people even in business meetings with people who I know have large collections, which means it still remains a reasonably affordable way of having fun.

It was just marketing and greed
Stupidity at its best. I guess they thought they could replicate the long lasting Swatch quest for years, but a golden hand is likely not enough to sustain this business model. Today everything is faster than 20 years ago. I don't know if the online purch...

I needed some time to sit with this issue but…
I’m very disappointed that Omega went down this road. The fact that they’re even writing reviews comparing moonswatch to the original is disheartening. Rolex would never do something like this. Moonswatch attaches a silly cuteness to a timepiece that went...

It's like the Beanie Babies craze...
In both situations, at the end of the day you realize have a cheap toy.
I don’t see any use of it. I checked few days ago at their store on 5th Ave and they had two models available with more to come weekly as per the sales associate!
As everything else this also will come to an end…
