My wife bought me a Swatch for X-Mas. She got it while on travel. It cost approximately $125 ("SILVER THAW" model 5436228073). This watch is very similar to the above in appearance and style.
Complaints:
1) Swatch store never informed her that the band could not be manually adjusted at home. This is because the links are not the "user-friendly" kind that just have clasps. Result: I had to spend $10 to get the thing adjusted at a jeweler (no local Swatch stores).
2) At the time of getting the number of links adjusted, I hand over this brand new watch and immediately the band pin falls out of the thing. A brand new watch that now needs jewelers adjustment and have a pin fixed. Result: An additional $7 on top of the previous expenses.
3) After getting the band adjusted and a new band pin inserted I figured Im home free, that I might actually try to enjoy the thing. Wrong. Within only a few hours of wearing it the band pin again falls out. Result: Another $10 to have the thing shipped back to Swatch for a refund.
Overall result: Im in the hole $27 because of Swatch.
Overall opinion: I know what the "S" stands for in Swatch.
Overall advice: By an Armitron watch instead of this wannabe Euro-garbage.

Its a great watch, good built, chrono, and very nice design. Something that makes it stand apart is its very light weight, thanks to its aluminum built. All around a good buy!
