ABOUT SWATCH WATCHES

Swatch
Swatch enjoys a reputation for reliability, style, cost effectiveness and flair. Since debuting its first line back in 1983, Swatch has unveiled hundreds of different permutations of watches - much to the delight of the world. Although the most popular time for Swatch occurred during the 1980's, when it seemed like everyone had a Swatch watch on their wrist, the company now enters the new millennium with a bang, creating exciting and innovative watches and manages to stay fresh and relevant year after year.

A New Concept for Watches
When Swatch - which means "Swiss-made watch" - was first launched during the early 1980s, the watchmaker had a definite idea about what it wanted to create: Fun, casual accessories that were affordable for just about everyone. Their idea took off immediately; the resulting watches were colourful, peppy and stylish. In no time flat, Swatch watches became must-have accessories, adorning the wrists of people around the world. Today, Swatch's innovation and overriding principles persist with gusto.

Inspiring Style
Swatch watches have always been synonymous with innovation and fashion. In fact, they have prompted several trends through the years; most memorably, it was once quite popular to wear two or more Swatches on one wrist. Celebrities and other luminaries regularly sport the trendy timepieces, even to this day. Anyone who's looking for a fun watch that won't break the bank would do well to consider a Swatch.

Competitive Prices
Many truly fashionable watches come with one unpleasant characteristic: a high price tag. Happily, Swatch watches have always been competitively priced so that people with all sorts of budgets can slip them on with ease - and without breaking the bank. Considering their flair and their appeal, these watches are amazingly affordable.

A Bounty of Styles to Choose From
Few watchmakers offer the vast array of different styles that Swatch does. Its Scuba line, which boasts top-notch diving watches, is perfect for outdoors enthusiasts; its Skin line, with its flat, thin designs, appeals to minimalists and to those who just prefer lightweight accessories.

Glitter and Shine with Swatch Watches
As further evidence that Swatch is the watchmaker for everybody, they produce the glamorous Swatch Bijou line for those who really want to make an impression. Swatch Bijou is a line of bona fide jewellery watches that boast elegant Swarovski crystals and other fine features. As is par for the course with Swatch products, the Bijou line is very affordable.

Get the Look You Crave
When you buy a Swatch watch, it's easy to find a look that meshes perfectly with your existing style. Whether you're a sporty outdoors type or a chic socialite, you'll find something that you'll absolutely love among the more than 12 different main types of Swatch watches.

Swatch The So Far Away Watch GB252
Reviewed on 31st January 2012
Reviewed by Kelly
The item is very comfortable around the wrist, and very easy to adjust the time ans the size of the watch, The watch was very well presented in the box. Colour scheme of the watch, is well co-ordinated and is very unique and different to typical watches, which makes it an eyecatcher. Very good watch if you want something different that will match any clothing because of the background colour of black, which matches anything.

Swatch Hiding Green Watch GB261

My 10 year old boy spotted this and loved the camouflage design. Having worked our way through many cheaper kids watches we thought it was time to buy a more grown-up kids watch for him. I loved Swatches since I was a child and with the addition of one extra hole in the strap to fit, he loves his Swatch now!

Nice, comfortable, stand out watch. Nice anime style graphics. Can be hard to tell the time due to the silver coloured hands. Does have the worlds noisiest ticking sound. I got the watch for going out rather than everyday use and it does the job lovely. Will be getting the other designs available. Happy chippy overall.

I brought this Watch for my Daughters 10th Birthday she chose it herself. The Delivery was fast and well packaged and came with free gift bag. I was also offered £5 off next purchase but had to use it that day so that was a little bit disappointing. My Daughter is delighted with the Watch. I would buy from Watchshop again . More offers or discount would be most welcome.

Swatch Touch Purple Alarm Chronograph Watch SURV100
Reviewed on 18th January 2012
Reviewed by Richard
I've got the purple one; it looks great and the build quality is good, with solid rubberised strap and large watch face. With no physical buttons, the touchscreen interface takes a bit of getting used to, you need to 'unlock' it and then scroll left and right with your finger to access the all the usual functions you'd expect such as two timezones, date, stopwatch, chrono and alarm. The largest part of the display is typically taken up by the seconds, with no option to change, a design decision I am sure, but one that is growing on me. The font of the watch display is unique and quite funky. If there is one thing I don't like it is that the backlight can be a bit fiddly to switch on, having no separate button. I've had the watch over a week now, and it's already attracted a fair bit of interest, it is an excellent piece of design and style.
Very good

Great watch, stylish without OTT bling! So suitable for day or evening wear. Very comfortable to wear as fits on wrist neatly and is a good weight too so doesn't feel flimsy and cheap.
