[Swatch] X Blancpain seems to be a dud (alien.top)

I was walking by the San Francisco Swatch store and dropped in to take a look at the Blancpain collaboration. The Swatch employee said they still only had limited colors of the MoonSwatch available but every color of the Blancpain was in stock. I’m not interested in either but it confirmed my suspicions that the Blancpain isn’t nearly as popular as the MoonSwatch, especially at the higher price point.

It’s ugly. You can literally pay lesser for a Seiko diver which has better performance too.

Your average watch buyer isn’t going to know what Blancpain is. All they see is a cheap looking watch which costs a lot more than everything else at the Swatch shop.
