SWATCH WATCH

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT A SWATCH WATCH?

Swatch watches are special, as they become (in time) collector's items. They are durable, reliable and good-looking. They are middle of the range as far as price goes. They cost anything from £30 - £100 (appoximately). You can buy them online or at any leading departmental store. Most airport shops sell them.

My first Swatch Watch was bought in the early 1980's. I can't remember the exact year, but I do remember thinking how beautiful and different it was. I had never seen a watch quite like it. I am allergic to metal (nickel) but this watch was plastic, with a stainless steel back. I thought great the first plastic watch of any quality on the market. It had a beige strap and the face was beige with red check. The clock hands were clear but not recommended for people with poor eye sight. (You can get lovely big watch faces now though). I was so proud of this watch. It was so reliable and waterproof to boot. After about 12 months or so I changed the battery, and this lasted another 12 months or so. I wore this watch for about 10 years. I still have it somewhere in the house. Maybe it will become an air loom?

My second Swatch was bought two years ago from Larnaca airport. It cost £45. Everyone comments on it. It has a stainless steel strap (must be nickel free, as no reaction)! There are fake diamonds at the side of the watch strap. The face is plain with no numerals, but it's easy to see the watch hands.

Would I recommend?

I would highly recommend this watch, not only because you may have a future 'money maker' on your wrist, but also because these watches are stunning and different form any other brand of watch. If you buy a Swatch you know you have treated yourself to a quality watch. Why spend a few pounds, on a 'fashion watch', which may look okay, but reliability is a bit touch and go. Be assured it won't last!

Swatch is Swiss made. I think the company was started in the 1970's so they have been around for quite sometime. They are probably the leading country where watches are concerned.

My advice is buy one and you will not be disappointed. You will be hooked and will probably buy one for everyday and one for the nights out.

I have a teenage daughter who, like yours, wears nothing but designer this or designer that. I bought her one for looking after the cats whilst we went on holiday. I was worried at first as I wasn't sure if she had heard of 'The Swatch Watch'. She thanked me but didn't show great excitement at first, but do they ever? Then after a few nights out with her friends, she said

'Mom I love the watch, everyone comments on it, thanks so much'

This was followed by big hugs ;-) x

Phew!!

Thanks for reading my review x

Summary: LOVELY WATCHES. GREAT IF YOU SUFFER FROM NICKEL ALLERGY!
