swatch was all the rave when i was in primary and high school.
i was cleaning up the other day and found my swatch watches that i used to love. it's sad that i don't wear them anymore but looking at each one of every them reminded me how happy i was to get each one of them and how simple things used to be.

i have over 100 swatches... love them all.
some i wear some are still in the boxes.
i still have and wear my original smelly swatch from 1984. it was yellow and smelled like bananas.

I haven't thought about Swatch since I was a teenager but then I was at the airport and they had the new collection for Autumn/Winter on display and some of them were gorgeous! I was really surprised how lovely they were. My children both have (and love) Swatch watches, so the loyalty continues . . . .
So very surprised and happy to have found this thread, as I like to call myself a bit of a Swatch collector. Although they are not an expensive watch, I do love them. They are just so fun and different. I think I have about 40'ish of them. I will try to post pics of them.
I have about five Swatches. While I don't consider myself a Swatch collector, I do like to go in their stores every once in a while and see if they have any cool or unique watches to purchase. Overall, I think Swatches are really fun watches.
My best one is the Bunny Sutra watch. I found it at an airport Swatch store after they stopped making that particular model, so I was pretty lucky. It is quite a hilarious watch for those of you who have ever seen it and it also has a complication that none of my other watches have!
I'd love to see more pics of other people's unusual or funny Swatches!

Me me me!! I've recently started collecting Swatches. But they don't just sit in my watch display box, I wear them everyday. My faves are the ones from the early 80s that I remember drooling over when I was growing up. My first Swatch ever was the 1984 Breakdance watch which now goes for over $200!!! I have no idea whatever happened to mine but I sure wish I still had it. Maybe I'll take pics of some of mine later ...
Also, any collectors MUST have the Swatchclopedia from Squiggly. It's a big book w/ color photos of all Swatch watches ever made.

Wow! I didn't realise people collect Swatch! There are some really funky ones out there!
I'm looking for a new low-budget watch just now, just something nice. White or stainless steel. Anyone have any recommendations? (Sorry to hi-jack the thread!)
I'll keep admiring the collections as they come anyway
