        And I have found out what is wrong with them. They are both solar powered and I had put them in the safe, they need to be kept in the light.....Rookie error.....

          I'm a month late, but if @Kasi is still after watch suggestions, there's always the MoonSwatch.

          Tender do a range of quartz watches under the GS/TP banner. They're a bit more quirky than mainstream offerings.

              @Matt nice pick up. Did you go through Swatch or used? From what I’ve heard, have a zulu or nato ready, the OG strap isnt as nice as the watch itself.

                I used a proxy. I’ve heard the same but we’ll see. I actually like the look of it. Unless it’s complete garbage I’ll probably keep it. I’ve never cared for customization actually.

                                This thing is pretty rad. I dig the band so I’ll keep it. Very lightweight. It’s definitely more Swatch than Omega but that’s what I expected.

                                  Jupiter is on its way to me. I’ll post on Monday.

                                  We're wrist twins! I've got the Jupiter also, as a gift from a friend.

                                  Still trying to figure out which color NATO to go with. Have you done a strap swap on yours?

                                  ***Should have read through the rest of the thread.

                                  I kinda dig the strap it comes with also, save the excessive writing/words. Fits perfectly with certain outfits or styles, but I'll definitely need a NATO for smoother and less "standing out" fashion days.

                                    @UnTucked I'd be tempted to go for a grey and orange strap, like this one from Strapify.

                                    Strapify Mare Nationale Strap

                                    Although looking at the Swatch website, the case is a bit more tan than grey, so maybe a desert sand strap might work best.

                                    Or just go for orange...

                                      I’ve got my eyes on Earth as well. That was my pick from day 1 but I figured the black and tan combo would be more versatile. And I was really feeling orange at the time. I like Pluto too…
