Past Reviews
Bought for farther in law as his original swatch had given up the ghost after 20yrs. It took a bashing being tractor mechanic. He wanted next to the same watch from 20yrs ago. Fits like a glove because of the semi ridged moulding strap . Good colour. Easy to read because of his age and eye sight and illuminated hands. Overall a good replacement for the last one.
Love the watch
It is for men but also I can wear it😀
Nice watch. Good clear face, day and date, and a good fit.
Prompt delivery of watch in proper case and packaging.
A nice looking watch, simple and easy to read display. It has a fairly small face and strap - would suit small to medium sized wrists.
Having purchased two of these watches for myself and eldest child they are a good choice with clear dials. Only thing is the mechanism is very noisy. I have had them in the past and they last a long while, but straps can wear fast. I must be happy to have re-purchased.
Been wearing these watches as my everyday watch for over 30 years. Clear dial is easy to read. Watch is lightweight very comfortable to wear. Simple black case is stylish and you can wear it with anything. Great to wear on holiday as I have always found them waterproof and they dont attract attention from any undesirable elements.
love a swatch watch
I bought this as a replacement swatch for my husband, a farmer. This Swatch is about the only watch he can manage not to destroy in minutes on the farm. It is slim, so doesnt catch easily, the strap has enough flexibility not to snap when his muscles expand and the face is clear and easy to read, especially in low light. Hoping this will do several years hard wearing before the next replacement is needed.
Bought as a gift for bf but he didnt seem to like it much so am wearing it now.
I love the simplicity of the watch and the minimalist design. Its now my go to and everyday watch. I just love it!
Excellent service!
Good product, great service and delivery
Good watch with a reliable brand and it is a small watch. Looks good and is very light, satisfied with purchase
Good product and fast delivery. Very pleased
Just what I wanted!
Bought it for the wife she likes a larger watch plus the magnifying date and day make a lot of difference it is her second one of the once again her first is 10 years old and getting a little scratched. Thank you.
a neat compact watch with good strap which is easy to do up. clear magnification glass for the date and day. Easy to read dial and numbers. good visibility in the dark
Fits well,simple design,very good value for money,no problems so far,excellent service,quick to post
First class service and the watch is excellent quality for price
An excellent timepiece, easy to read. Robust strap. First class delivery system. Thank you.
I wanted a watch that was slightly bigger than the usual ladies size but not as big as a mans - this is just right.
It has a white face with black figures and they stand out really well. Complimented by a black strap that isnt the usual hard plastic. It is nice and soft and has plenty of holes in the strap to adjust how tight I want it. The main feature for me is the day/date display. That is really why I chose this watch. Other watches have had this feature but the display has been so small that I have needed a magnifying glass to read it. This display is covered by its own magnification and is brilliant. A small hiccup when it arrived - the day/date was not showing the correct day or date and I couldnt seem to change it although I followed the instructions to the letter. However I do have severe arthritis in my hands so my partner tried and eventually he did change it. He says it is just getting the knack of doing it but I will leave it to him to change if needed. i.e. at the end of a 30 day month. Altogether I am delighted with this watch and the price is very reasonable. It would be nice if other colours were available - I would buy them.
Like the look of the watch face. The black rubber strap appears a little flimsy.
simple, effective, great value for money. excellent purchase from a returning customer.
This is my favourite watch, and Im so glad it is still available. It is clear, practical, and lasts well. When the battery runs out, it is easy to change. The only drawback is that the plastic strap breaks after about 3 or 4 years of use. But I reckon thats fair enough, and am happy to pay another £30 to buy a new one. And until the new one arrives, I have a pocket watch instead of one on my wrist.
A replacement for one I had for at least ten years. Good to look at, simple to use the winder does everything.
Excellent service - great purchase and very happy with product.
My husband is made up with his watch the only problem with it is the strap needs to be longer as it is tight on his wrist
Dear Sirs
I received my new Swatch today which replaced my original one which I purchased over twenty years ago. It finally stopped a month ago as a result of damp and wet conditions, usually when strapped to the handlebars of my mountain bike. The only money I spent on it was to replace the strap twice and batteries.
Comparing the new model with the old, I much prefer the font used on the new model, especially now that they are vertical. I always found the figures pointing inwards a bit odd i.e. digits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 being upside down. The day/date magnification works well so does the white figures on a black background. Finally the matt black case matches the strap much better.
Regards Patrick Penrose
A bit smaller than expected, so I passed it on to my wife...who is quite happy with it!
Easy to see, smart watch.
Arrived very quickly, I love my new Swatch Watch, brilliant colour - black, large numbers , its awesome
Swatch watch is fine. Its a replacement and slightly different from original , with a raised and slightly annoying bit over the day/date. Delivery one day late but no problem
The battery screw type cover on the back of the watch broke after less than 5 years infrequent use. I would not recommend this watch.
Perfect for my husband to wear as a Landscape Gardener.
Analogue face easy to read, with date and comfortable rubber strap, all water resistant.
Basic but functional
Great watch! Love the date on it.
Lovely classical styled watch. Quick delivery & strong packaging. A very reliable seller to buy from.
Bought this watch for my husband he was well pleased easy to read dial not bulky on his wrist strap fitted comfortably just the job.
fine straps on swatch for men too short
Excellent product, clear dial and date function is a bonus. The easy battery change system means a future without expensive shop charges. Would recommend this item to anyone looking for a reasonable no fuss attractive watch.
Brilliant watch - very slim ans sleek. Fast delivery. Thanjs
Absolutely love the watch, its simple and goes well with everything and the service was fantastic!
Excellent profucct - easy to order and quick delivery.
This is a very comfortable watch. Nice to wear, easy read dial, lightweight, classic and waterproof at the same time. If you want a simple watch with sweep second hand and date, this ones for you! I also prefer the mens size to the ladies, looks great on small wrist.
I ordered a Swatch watch and arranged to collect it in a Goldsmiths shop. It was tracked and I was informed of where it was on its journey, every step of the way. The service was superb and it all worked like clockwork.
Specifically wanted a watch which has a day and date facility and second hand. I wear varifocal glasses and clarity is paramount. My wife, daughter and daughter-in-law all have Swatch watches. This watch meets all those requirements. Particularly like the large numbers on the clock face and the magnifying facility on the day/date part of the watch. Watch is lovely and clear.
MY HUSBAND HAS NOT CHANGED HIS CHOICE OF WATCH FOR YEARS ON END AND ALTHOUGH HIS OTHER WATCH IS STILL WORKING FINE , I HAVE ORDERED HIM THE WATCH AGAIN AS THE STRAP IS GETTING A BIT SCRAPPY AFTER 5 YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR, HE CAN NOW HAVE THE NEW ONE FOR BEST
Watch arrived promptly and time, date and day set. However disappointed about the complete lack of scratch resistance of the face of the watch. after only a short time the face is now scratched despite being careful with it.
excellent simple clean design - a modern classic
have had one before,excellent product
We have always bought swatch watches for everyday wear. My husband reckons they are the best for work. Well worth every penny.
Great iconic watch, simple and practical design which is timeless.
Excellent value and very prompt delivery. I would certainly use The Watch Shop again.
Absolutely love the watch, it suits my lifestyle perfectly as I am a university student
The service was very good, the watch was just what I wanted, unfortunately the plastic buckle broke on the second time of wearing.
Excellent Watch, water proof and hard wearing, just what is needed for farm work.
If the ticking wasnt that loud it would be the best watch ever. I was actually sad because when i finally found the perfect watch i couldnt wear it all the time like i wanted because the constant audible ticking drive me crazy
Watch was as expected. Fantastic quick service. Would use again.
WATCH WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED
Good watch, good price!
excellent. very pleased with it.
nice and compact easy to read no nonsense watch at the right price,my only slight concern is the strap is it robust enough but time will tell,still very pleased with it.
Exceptional first class service - very prompt delivery - watch as described - good value for money
Its simple, plain design, accuracy and easy legibility make this the best value watch you could find.
I was looking for a specific watch, found it on Amazon, but rather expensive. This site had the best price, - ans, as it turned out, excellent service too! Cant fault it, watch arrived swiftly, as ordered, all paperwork done, a great transaction, and Id thoroughly recommend it.
I like it but other people make fun of me for having a cheap watch
The watch is for my son who has a reaction on his skin if he wears a metal backed watch so this swatch being plastic backed- apart from the battery cover- will hopefully prevent that re occurring. Its a very simple and no fuss display which is what we wanted. Tells analogue time day and date and nothing else.
Bump on glass cover over date is really pronounced. Didnt like it. Returned for Twice Again. Other than that a good smallish watch.
Very nice watch, very promptly received. The recipient was extremely pleased with it.
Excellent quality and very good value. Practical, robust and has the understated cool factor for my son. Particularly like the date function and luminous hands details.
my husband was very pleased with this watch.
it is a replacement for one he bought a few years ago
Super duper, we have bought these as presents for folk, my hubby wears one and all are much appreciated, they are good to look at, work well, are reasonably priced and are lightweight as well
I have had Swatch Watches beforehand they are great timekeepers - their straps have been thei vulnerability to me - they eventually fall to pieces. This watch is similar in that respect but hopefully the strap will outlast the others. This watch has a big bump of plastic on the face to magnify the day date and whilst it does what it says it is a bit inelegant as it looks like half a cylinder glued to the face. If they had rounded off the ends it would have been beter
The watch is great and this is the 4th replacement I have had for this particular watch. However, the watch strap buckle is now dreadful and I have broken 3 in the 8 months. If Swatch would go back to using the old buckle I would go back to giving the watch and excellent rating.
A straightforward easy to read watch. It is very functional but also looks much better than its price tag
Simple but nicely finished, not o small not to big so fits perfectly in my wrist.
Love it! Very comfortable watch strap, clear face and numbers.
Came very quickly, impressed!
I like this watch, a lot. Simple but effective.
And so I buy one each year. Not because I like having lots of watches, but because the strap usually fails after about that time.
Alas.
Good watch. Had one for years and did not look at others. It does what it is supposed to do.
Absolutely love these watches, always have, I dont think you can better the simple classic understated style. I love it
Thought I had already written a review, but if not, please note I am delighted with the Swatch watch, even though it is the basic model, fits the wrist nicely without a feel of having a sweaty wrist. I am chuffed with the watch, which is in a fairly long line of Swatch watches over many years.
Delighted with my new Swatch Watch, please continue in production. The accuracy of the face and having date and day shown is an added bonus. Having a range of sizes is good, and if you want something more fancy in style gives more choice
great product, so glad to have found these watches. We come back to them every time
I chose this watch in particular because I liked the design which suited my life style. Uncomplicated and functional. Easy to read face with luminous figures and hands. Also gives the date and day. Slightly concerned that the plastic strap will sweat in summer heat.
The instruction leaflet is complicated and misleading. I assume a cover on all models of Swatch.I needed a magnifying glass to read the print.
Excellent watch for wearing when swimming. East to read the time, date and day. The strap is also hard wearing and the watch is comfortable to wear.
Keeps good time. Hands are easily visible. Comfortable to wear. Day, date...you will always know what day it is! Have been wearing this model for the last 30 years. Cannot recommend it highly enough! How much more can I say about a watch?.....I like it!
Very clear watch face with all the info you need at a glance - time, day, date - from a reputable manufacturer.
Its a really nice classic watch, really clear with the date and great that it has the day on it too also the hands and dots for each hour glow in the dark which is a useful bonus
only slight complaint would be that the ticking of the seconds it quite loud and more noticeable than other watches, but not too much of a problem
Very quick delivery before 1pm on the next day as promised. Great watch, he loves it! Great price.
Really nice simply and compact watch. The watch was a gift and was very well received. It was for casual use during the day and suits this very well. A nice touch is the date and day on the watch face. The brand has a good name and I would recommend the watch if someone wants a simply and casual timepiece for everyday use.
Very simple design - black watch with easy read dial and luminous hands. Very practical and child-friendly - kids can chew it and it and it it doesnt break I bought one as I have little kids again - having had one that survived my first 2 kids 30 years back!. An excellent watch that does the job!
very swift despatch but disappointed that the wrist strap was not changed.as requested on order, to an extra long one.It would be excellent service if you could send me an extra long strap to fit my husbands wrist.We feel that the standard strap on GB743 is barely long enough for an average adult male wrist
Perfect every day watch with clear easy to read dial. This watch is really comfortable to wear.
I bought a Mens Swatch Once Again Watch GB743 which is cheerful and reliable. It will go with every outfit he wears and will be tough enough to stand up to the active lifestyle of my bmxing son.
nice watch, looks simple but beautiful. Good quality and appearance. No problem by now. Suitable and comfortable.
Slim, elegant and my husband loves it. This is his second one, not because the first one broke, but because a friend liked his so uch he gave his away and bought another to replace the first.
a great watch, simple and classic. I bought this for my grandpa and he finds it really easy to read and comfortable to wear
GB743 watch brought for present for my son who has been wearing this design
Since he was a teenager he as three gold watch he keep for going out but wears
This watch every day and he find it very good to wear at the Gym
Watch is great as all swatch watches are clear face easy to see simple styling. The watch is waterproof and great for everyday ware.
Had this model of watch for at least 25 years this is my third and believe you me they have taken some hammer.
Biggest problem i,v experienced is they smell of fish after a days work.
Still after a good scrub the watch is as good as new.
Marvellous, clear face and good to have the date too. Resin strap means Im not allergic to it. Ive been using a similar design for years.
My previous watch was bought when my daughter was born, twenty two years ago, and still keeps excellent time and l where it very day and night, and you can ask more of a watch than that, so now in my 60th year l thought l would treat myshelf to a new one.. with day and date.. Thank you
Bought on behalf of a friend who has little knowledge of on-line shopping.
He is more than pleased with the watch
Excellent watch, the same as the one it has replaced. I have worn a similar Swatch watch for years, but would prefer the same style without the day/date.
Great watch, my husband loves them and so this was his birthday present this year. He is delighted, it is slim, elegant and lightweight
A superb, clear, functional watch - nothing fancy - light & comfortable.
Excellent value for money...
Product is perfect for me. The only snag is they have a limited life when worn regularly: about three years.
Very good product - well worththe money.
Excellent service in terms of price and delivery from the retailer.
Cant complain for £30 I suppose, but the day/date adjustment is incredibly fiddly. Apart from that - its a Swatch!
The Swatch once again is a favourite of mine. I bought this one as a back up because I cant believe my present one can go on forever and I cant bear the thought of living without it. It keeps perfect time, can be used swimming and shower and seems to have a battery life forever.
Watch seems fine - had several of these over the years - but the buckle has broken within the first week. Particularly annoying as I am now on holiday with no chance of a replacement until I return. Makes me question my allegiance to Swatch.
Great looking product, fast delivery and value for money. Would recommend website
I had this watch over twenty five years ago, great to see it reissued. I love it, ticks all my boxes. It is very, very light, easy to read the day date, did I say I love? I have several other watches but wear this most of he time.
Non positives, setting is a little fiddely, it is quite loud and the buckle is a tadd flimsy all in all a great casual watch, would definatley recommend.
Less than 4 months since purchase the watch can no longer be worn because the small part which fastens into the hole to secure the strap has broken off. I would not recommend this product.
Excellent service, packaging and price. Watch as expected, couldnt ask for more!
We liked this watch - understated excellence and no bling. The feature magnifying the date window is clever but quite subtle.
I wanted an everyday work/casual, no nonsense watch on which the dial was plain and clear to see at a glance. This watch offers me that, and in addition it has a magnified day and date inset on the face, which in turn is clear and easy to see with a cursory glance. When the watch arrived I was pleased that the features were exactly as the image portrayed in the on line catalogue. I am not too sure at the moment whether the strap will be robust enough but that remains to be seen However, that is the only concern. Everything else is spot on.
I like the simplicity and clarity in design
Also the ease of fitting
IIeal for an old guy
Selected the watch based on the brand reputation and value for money, and was not disappointed. Very happy with the purchase.
Am delighted with product - I have had this watch before -think I bought
that about 8/9 years ago - and when I needed a replacement - didnt even think of trying anything else..
I had previously sent a review rating excellent
However - one more time - excellent service and prompt response etc.
The swatch once again watch is a classic modern design - this is the third one Ive owned in twenty odd years! If only it was as long lasting as its design - but - HEY - at £30 Im not complaining and its not worth a buying a replacement strap!
Great simple watch. Only downside is a slightly flimsy strap, which is why I bought this replacement.
the watch was very well made and is perfect for what i wanted
the watch itself looks good and the plastic strap doesnt hurt your wrist after long periods
i havent got a problem with the watch
I really recommend this watch if you want a tight fitting watch that looks good and feel good to wear
This watch does what it says on the tin simle but effective easy to read face durable and representing value for money. i havent had a swatch watch for years so this takes me back to my youth . well worth the money a classic watch .
The classic black Swatch is waterproof and ideal for everyday wear.
There is a date bezel. It would have been even better if the date and time were already set correctly.
Husband was absolutely delighted with his watch - it was just what he wanted and had been searching for a very long time. Result an excellent present for him.
The size and classic style is what I like about this watch. The numerals are clear and the day/date has a magnifying bar that also improves visibility of the characters/numbers.
my husband thrilled with his new watch.ordered on the wednesday was expecting it to take at least 2 weeks to be delivered.i was amazed wen i received it 2 days later.Absalutley fabulouse thanx.
The item was exactly what I expected and looked great, the boyfriend was very happy with his birthday present!
Great watch, comfortable to wear. Hardwearing, bought as a work watch and this fits the bill.
i have been asking swatch many years ago to make this very simple day/date watch black surround /white face with a bigger face. ie being nearer to a easy reader type watch. no wonder it is good seller. bigger size face please.
Very pleased with this watch which was bought as an 18th birthday present for my son. Slim stylish watch, very clear face, comfortable strap. Ideal for my son who has a slim wrist and hates heavy, chunky watches. Useful to have date on the watch as well. Only slight criticism would be the raised bubble over the date. Would definitely recommend as stylish and excellent value.
I ordered the swatch watch for my husband as he had one many years ago. Its great as an everyday watch, since its got a plastic strap, its easy to clean. Its just what he wanted. Some reviews say the strap is a little short, we didnt find that, my husband has an average sized wrist.
I bought this watch for my husbands birthday and he absolutely loves it! He had the same one bought for a birthday a few years ago and was gutted when he lost it during a recent visit to the gym. He said it was the best watch he had ever had and would buy the same one again. He didnt have to as I got it for him! He likes the simplicity of the plain white face and easy to read numbers. And as hes allergic to metal straps this non metallic one is just perfect. I liked the fact that it didnt cost a fortune to replace. Thanks Swatch!
Superb fast service and an excellent watch, bought as a gift for the first day at High School.
Very satisfied, thank you.
Mens Swatch Wrist Watch.
This is an excellent light weight time pice
A suitable for person with small wrist.
Excellent, stylish black strapped watch with simple to read white dial and magnified date window. Having had Swatch watches before I was confident this watch would suit my requirements and I was not dissapointed. Although the plastic strap can wear more quickly than a leather one, as the watch is totally waterproof there is no need to keep taking it on and off, which is what wears out the strap. Being plastic, it means my allergy to most metals is no longer a problem. More than happy to recommend to anyone.
I had a swatch watch very similar 25years ago. Like most things in life you trust what you know and was not disappointed with the product. I do wish the watch came in more colours as i choose black but would prefer red. The annoying loud ticking hasnt changed and brings back fond childhood memories. Buying the product was so easy and receiving it the following day wad very impressive
Delighted with watch1 price 2 clarity and simplicity of face/dial3 Swiss design . A good purchase all round.influence
The watch is a simple classic - works great and looks good.
I bought it for my father as some watch faces are either far too small or look as though youve stolen Flava Flavs famous timepiece. However Swatch have found a good size I also have a Swatch Irony.
Easy to adjust the time, date both date and day and has a quiet tick.
Great Watch.
Could do with having a larger strap its too short so I will have to get a bigger one. It does say mans watch after all.
This is the first watch Ive worn in about ten years, ever since my mobile phone took care of timekeeping. Its taken a bit of time to get used to the ticking, which seems surprisingly loud to ears that arent sensitized to the sound, but otherwise Im very pleased with the design and quality of the watch. The design is attractive, understated and neutral despite being very light, the materials feel like theyre of a high quality.
the watch I ordered was delivered promptly within a couple of days of ordering it. It was a gift for me Dad. He thought it was great so fabulous all good reports. Easy to order and a fast service ready wrapped for Fathers Day Brilliant.....
plain and simple,clear face and numbers.Just what my husband wanted for every day,smart and casual wear.White face,black strap and numbers.we have both had Swatch before and find them very durable.Great price.
The watch was in perfect condition and was exactly what I expected, if not better. The service was brilliant and the delivery was quicker than I could of hoped for. My partner was extremely happy with the watch as an everyday one.
I bought this as a cheapish watch with day+date display and unfussy face. It works of course, as all watches do. Not quite as elegant a design as expected, and the raised magnifying part of the plastic glass seems unnecessary.
product exactly as expected, delivery and packaging excellent, very good value, watch very functional and easy to change date and time.
really pleased with puchase. - Ray

really pleased with puchase. - Ray
Loved the retro look of the watch...clear, easy to read....for a watch its timeless.
watch came on date and time promised ,it was exactly as it was described on the internet and having used it now since the of delivery i can only descrbe it as first class and certainly value for money.
Simple, uncluttered and efficient layout. A tarditional but not boring product.
Simple but classic watch. Great for everyday use. Just the right size as well. Will fit male or female.
Next day delivery. Product packaged very well. Item itself was as described on the Web Page.
This is my second purchase from the Watch Shop, it wont be my last!.
Highly recommended professional company.
The watch is very comfortable and easy to read, but the only problem might be the length of the strap for some people. It is fine for me but it is on the last hole so it would not fit men with extra large wrists.
amazing ,
great for my boyfriend
will be buying off this website again.
Great vaule for money.
Fast delievery
The watch is very good and I havent found any faults with the watch so far. The fact it is water resistant means I dont have to worry about a little amount of water getting splashed onto the watch. I like the design and it has been made from a well known watch brand swatch.
a present for my brother at easter. the third one of this type he has had over ten years and his favourite.
Very good service and product as described although it is slightly smaller in diameter than I thought it would be. I should have measured it. Am looking for cheap waterproof watch to take on snorkeling holiday and this has the added advantage of great luminosity.
Classic watch. Had them for years, very reliable and robust. Highly recommended.
Haven't bought a Swatch for years, till this purchase! Very pleased with it. I wanted a simple, classic watch which was light in weight, easy to read, larger than a ladies watch, but not too big - for everyday - at a reasonable price. For me, this satisfies all those things. Really good service too.
the watch was great, we knew it would be, i already have one and my son likes it so much he wanted one for himself.
So now he has one too!
great service from watchshop
as good as the watch itself
simple swatch good price good watch good service, If the world worked like this therewould be a lot more happiness.
This watch is a timeless classic.
No fuss, no heirs and graces, just a beautifully simple, perfectly functional piece of kit and I love it.
This was a replacement watch for one of precisely the same model which had many years of use before giving up the ghost. So quite happy to buy another. Nice big figures on a clear dial with day and date. Completely waterproof so no need to take it off for showering or swimming.
Really pleased with the item, a clear face for people who need glasses! With luminous hands and waterproof too. Casual but smart too.
I cannot live without this watch!! Since retiring 8 years ago I NEED to know the DAY and DATE! This is the 6th Swatch watch I've had over the years and always have the same one. If there's one thing I don't like about it is the last 2 I've had have raised glass over the date and day, whereas my previous ones were sompletely smooth. At only £25 ish it gives me a good clear to see watch, with the day and date, what more can I ask!
just what we wanted. excellent value for money and fast delivery. cheaper than high street stores and same quality.
This is my 2nd of these watches. Easy to read large white face and essential day date. I never need to take this watch off, it is a trusty and robust watch.
Great first grown up watch for my son, clear bright watch face, easy to read numbers and date, the bonus of Swatch's brilliant reputation tough, water resistant and lightweight.
The Swatch is exactly as expected in terms of appearance. The one slightly surprising feature is the strap, which has fittings which do not allow the watch to "lie flat" on a surface when removed which gives me the feeling that it was not designed quite correctly. As an engineer, it grates.
Easy site to use. Get what you want at a small discount. Bought item for my husband, basic watch which he likes. Usually lasts a couple of years. £30 deal. Changing the battery in my Cartier costs £150!
Superfast delivery of a lovely watch. Chose a clear plain face for my Dad as his eyesight isn't what it was. I am sure he will love it and I can recommend The Watch shop wholeheartedly, as service was excellent :)

Swatch watch was excellent a present for my Grandaughter she loved it, It is black and presented very well. The service was excellent ordered it on Fri at 10.30 arrived next day at 11.00
I bought this watch for my son for Christmas. Particularly pleased that it has the date on it.
I have found swatches in the past to keep good time and be reliable.
Bought a watch for my nephew for his birthday. The payment process wa straightofrward and the watch arrived a couple of days after I ordered it. price was reasonable too
Great product great service came next day would use again for sure due to price and service thanks again watchshop

Chose this watch as it has day & date and its low cost. Bought three. One for me and two for my son (he lost one!) Looks OK, works OK and appears to be reliable. Good buy.
Clear, easy to read watch. There's a little lens built into the "glass" that makes the day & date larger so very readable. Clever design has separate access to change the battery so that's easy & doesn't compromise the water-proofing.
It does just what I wanted at a good price.
Cannot really fault the faultless. I wanted an economically priced watch for working outdoors that was also smart and pleasing to wear. The design is functional but aesthetic and being a Swatch the emphasis is on Swiss quality matched with affordability.
The standard basic robust swatch, but they have added a funny magnifying glass thing over the date, which is irritating. It remains robust, which is why one buys something like this
Never had an order come as quick as you sent me , mighty impressed , watch great too
Never have I received a order as quick as that , mighty impressed , watch is great too
This watch is very smart, with an appealing black and white design. If I was to be critical, I don't think the "magnifying glass" over the day/date feature is really necessary and, for me, it detracts from the overall appearance.
Plain design, functional with day/date, water resistant and lumious hands. Exactly what I wanted/ordered and recieved.
iconic watch for everyone anywhere ......swatches are the best watches,would not spend loads on any other. great service by "the watch shop".
Excellent product this is my second one. Very durable and hard wearing . Excellent value and competitive price from Watch Shop
i purchased a swatch watch for my husband as a birthday gift. We are not new comers to swatch we have both had them for years so have my boys. The wach excellent as only swatch can be and the service from start to finish with yourselfs was excellent. thank you
Very quick, the item was exactly what I wanted, and availble cheaper than in the shops
The swatch watch is a fantastic buy. Its smart, lightweight, classic and has a hardwearing resin strap which doesn't compromise on the style or quality. I bought it as a present and was delighted with my choice, it is great value for money too. Even better, I got a £5 voucher off my next purchase too!
I bought my last Swatch in 1989, it had been my constant WORKING companion until I lost it recently, I'm not sure how many new straps I have had but if only I had d a worn one recently it would still be on my wrist. I miss it, however the ment more than makes up for the loss, it felt right from day one, (I'm subconsciously looking for the old one)!
By the way a very slick site and great service.
Excellent. Smart. Clear face, magnified day and date. waterproof. fantastic value for money.
This is the second watch I purchased like this, I like it for its clear face and numbers and having a date on it too.
The watch came quickly within 3 days of ordering. It is a minimalist and simple watch which is suitable for all occasions, fiddly to work (date & time setting) at first but you get used to it. Well worth the price.
The reason for purchasing this item was because the watch being replaced was the same model. I have had this model for quite a few years and I like it.
The watch is quite simply good quality. For a swatch, the price is astonishing. This is one the biggest & most exciting bargains. Be informed.
Product exactly as described but better than I expected.
This is my first Swatch and I've recommended one to my son
I can see the reasoning behind the name; I bet people keep buying this one again and again!
Beautifully simple, with a well designed face and useful day and date feature this is a great watch, just as expected. The watch feels to be of very good quality including the strap, which is made of a stiffer plastic than I expected including has an interesting hinge design, fitting comfortably around the wrist nonetheless. Overall, very impressed so far, everything one could want from a simple watch at a great price!
My girlfriend (now my wife) brought me a swatch watch almost identical to this over 25 years ago, I have worn this since and needed to replace it as the plastic around the battery had become brittle, I searched the internet for a replacement and found this which is almost identical and am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to another 25 years of use.
Practical watch. Only issue is the strap length which won't accomodate larger wrists.
With a white face, black numerals and minute marks it is very easy to read, keeps accurate time and, crucially for me, tells me both the day and the time. The sweep second hand is not important to me but may be to others.
I have a number of 'quality' watches, mainly Omega but for every day use I use a Mens Swatch 'Once Again Watch GB743'. I'm now on my second one. The first one which has been subjected to much physical abuse (bricks, mortar etc) is presently have a refurb and will be back in action shortly! The timekeeping on this particular model is fantastic, the design is plain and simple with easy to read numerals. I have nothing but praise for this hard wearing good looking watch.
Excellent product, arrived on time an was exactly as described and shown in the picture. Well packaged. This is a great activity/physical work watch. I bought it to replace a worn out Timex for my husband. Typically over the years he's prefered this watch with the easy to read dial and date, cheap enough to not worry about yet robust enough for work!
The Watch face is very neat, and the date shows up well, what my daughter liked was the fact that it glowed in the dark

This Swatch is the same as the one my friend lost. He has had it for many years and had often said it is the best watch in the world. As he lost it on a boating holiday on my narrow boat I wanted to replace it. He is over the moon.
Simple, easy to read, and if you forget to take it off when you go for a swim or a shower it doesn't matter, because it's waterproof. Not a flashy watch or a fashion accessory, just a timepiece that works.
Only criticism: the plastic wrist strap is stiff and uncomfortable at first.
This is the 3rd or 4th I've owned.
This is a very comfortable , easy to read watch. It is good value for money and I would have no hesitation on recommending to a friend.
This black watch with a clear white face is a simple, classic design that's easy to read and looks good too. This is my third Swatch watch : all this model. Why change if it suits my needs?
This is my second watch of this model and at there is no contest. Simple, clear, beyond style and immensely functional and...cheap; I love it.
The first swatch watch, (GB743 classic all plastic with magnified date and time with I think, a black face) I bought 14 years ago for my son’s school trip to India. He immediately cut off the straps and carried it in his pocket. The consequence was that it was always going through the washing machine when he got back. He likes the watch because :
1) It is plastic, works all over India in the heat and the cold Himalayas.
2) He climbed all over, South Africa, France, Turkey, India, Nepal, America and felt safe wearing or carrying it.
3) He has managed to arrive on time and on the correct day for his many flights and boats.
4) However, the face screen does scratch on rock faces and yacht winches but is unaffected by Bentley dealers in Berkeley square, Sotheby’s greeters, and afternoon teas in Mayfair.
I have bought 4 so far. Michael

Loved the watch - it's a classic. I ordered it for a birthday present for a family member and they were thrilled too. Had one very similar in the 1980's. :-)
Exactly as expected. A basic lack Swatch watch wit day/dat facility. Light as a feather and comfortable to wear. Oh, and accurate as well.
The watch works fine, but the strap is useless as it broke after 1 months use. Guess what? the strap is not covered by the guarantee, so I have had to buy a new strap. Appalling that the strap, which is made by SWATCH, is not covered by guarantee when it obviously has such a design flaw.
It takes a while for the date to change after midnight. A bit small and might resemble a watch for children. Looks a bit cheap. The date is set by pulling the crown halfway out and twisting it up or downwards. The time is set by pulling it all way out and twisting upwards. A good buy considering the low price. Might be useful to have as a second watch you don't need to be afraid to lose.
Great, simple watch that is good value. easy to read with the added benefit of the date.
Good quality, simple watch ... just what I need for work and active outdoor life. Very satisfied customer!!
Good strong watch. Hard wearing. Suitable for everyday use. Very pleased with it.
Friend bought this watch (and paid a lot more for it!), decided to get one. Its comfortable to wear, black hands and numbers on white, simple and easy to read,looks good and a magnifier over the date - fantastic idea.Only bad point - straps a bit short if you've got chunky wrists.Never imagined I'd ever wear a Swatch, but i've eaten my words.
I work in a microbiology lab and have to wash my hands about 20 times a day. I have some very expensive watches that really don't suit getting wet as they irritate the skin. This watch is ideal for me. It has a plain white face with black hindu-arabic numerals. It is ideal for dyslexics like me. It doesn't say that I'm a wannabee action man who could kill you with the touch of a little finger. It is a cool watch. So cool that my twenty year old niece, who is a student, asked if she could have my ten year old black swatch. I only bought a new one because the strap retainer had perished after ten years of getting wet twenty times a day. This watch is great design, and I will buy an identical one in ten years time.
this watch is slight weight, easy to wear , simplified design with black and white, and thats what i exactly looking for, as my wrist is quite small. overall, its good for me. but not for someone want good looking.
exellent purchase,particially the day/date feature though the luminous hands don t show up to good in the dark!fantastic stylish watch for any occassion!
Fantastic watch - stylish yet simple. It was a birthday present for my God-son and he was well impressed.
Fast and efficient. Impressed. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get a watch quickly and be confident that they have paid best price.
This is my third swatch Once Again Watch GB743
I find them good for work as the face is esay to read with second hand and date very clear
A simple and easy to read watch for 24 hour wear. Quick and efficent order and delivery service
Superb watch, clear easy to read & I love the magnification over the day/date feature. Our watches have to be tough to survive in the Agricultural world - this fits the bill. Watch Shop services is brill too. This was an exchange item as the dial on the first watch was too small for me. The system worked perfectly & the exchanged item arrived within 5 days of the original item being returned. Great service thanks.
Really pleased with the watch, exactly as described. Ordered one day arrived the next.
Back to Swatch - Once Again!!
This will be the second Once Again I have had and they are just brilliant. Stylish and tough. The last one was a fantastic travelling companion and didn't miss a beat.
Great service and the best price by far!
I needed a quick replacement for a lost watch. Watch Shop offered the best price for this simple but robust SWATCH. Clear figures just right for my ailing sight.
Ordered Sunday arrived Tuesday am. Wonderful.
I wanted an inexpensive yet reliable and robust watch with a clear,uncluttered dial. That is exactly what i got -- it was even better looking than the pictures. I bought this item at 2.30pm on friday and it was delivered at 11am on saturday. An excellent service to be recommend to all!!
So I needed a simple, reliable and inexpensive watch to wear for knocking about. This fited the bill so well - and it is sylish and iconic to boot! This watch design was ahead of its time when it was first designed and it still looks so GOOD - ideal for for the iPod generation! In fact its status has to be up there with the iPod. Just because these are inexpensive does not mean Swatches are cheap and nasty - I feel at home wearing this despite owning two Breitlings.
For me this has the original Swatch look - simple, clean, no fuss and understated. It is a bit like a VW Golf. Well made and you could be anyone from a Dustman to a Duke in owning one.
Go for it.
This is the second model GB743 Swatch watch I have bought in 6 months. The first was so practical, tough and easy to replace a battery, that I impulsively gave it to my son at Heathrow minutes before he departed for a 3 month backpacking trip around South America. Its just a cool understated timepiece to have anywhere -in the jungle or the boardroom!
