OMG does anyone remember the way they SMELLED when they were new? I LOVED the rubber smell! Is that a weird thing to remember? When I think back it's one thing that jumps out at me! Like play dough or something. I used to LOVE swatch! Remember getting my very first turquoise blue one in HS too!!!

They still seem to be very popular - I think they're really fun! Way better than those rubber digital weird ones everyone in Europe is sporting!!

LOL, I totally remember that new rubber smell! I loved it too...hopefully that doesn't make us weird! If it does, oh well. I think I actually still have one of my Swatch watches in an old jewelry box at home that has a lot of my cheaper jewelry from middle school/high school in it.
 
Swatch is so cool and timeless.
You find something for every age and style.

I don't have one anymore but next month they will release a new line with kidrobot dunnys and then i'm going to get one again!
 
Oh highschool memories! I had the scratch and sniff ones...and do any of you remember the Popswatch? We actually received a His and Hers limited edition swatch as a wedding present just last year. I don't wear it much as the color is Yellow and Black but the quality is amazing, they last forever.
 
I thikn those are way too sporty looking and have far too much business going on with them. And I hate to risk offending someone but those things look like they're worth about a quarter and cost a fortune.

I think the Baby G in your mind is the old model ones or maybe you're thinking Gshock? If you look at real Baby G website from Japan, they have so many different models and not all of them look sporty.
Ps - they don't cost a fortune

Wasn't Popswatch the big ones were you can switch the actual watch?
I had some of them and loved them in 5th and 6th grade!
 
I have about 40 Swatches, all 'Skins', and they're all very diverse in their designs. Although I have a couple of 'luxury' watches, I tend to wear my Swatches on a daily basis. I love the size, the designs, and the fact that they're almost indestructible. They also don't need a battery change very often, which is nice. They're website has almost all (if not all) the current designs.
 
Ladies:

2day I bought my first Swatch since Highschool :p

Swatch released a collection in collaboration with Kidrobot and I couldn't resist that little one: the Dunny is called Bengali :love:

That watch is so cute, I love it!
 
I hadn't thought of them in years, but then recently I was stuck window shopping in an airport that had 3 or 4 Swatch locations! I loved looking at them. And I was surprised at their cost. Seems like a bunch of companies are offering rubberized options now, and those are way more expensive than Swatch! I'm planning on getting one to wear when I'm running around. They're comfy, cute, and practically indestructible.

This thread certainly brings back memories! Swatch came out when I was in elementary school. I think I still have my first one at my parents' house! I'll have to go digging for it. :love:
