Swatch makes thousands of different watches in all kinds of styles, from 80s-inspired neon fever dreams to understated mechanical watches. What type of watch are you looking for that they don't make?

#32This would be more impactful if we could see the cost to US purchasers was actually 39% more. Sadly some manufacturers spread the cost across all consumers, which actually means non-US customers are actually paying some of the tariff costs too.
Tariffs are a tax, paid on the value of imported good, by US citizens who are buying things from outside of the USA. That's it. They are not paid by anyone outside of the US.

Swatch watches are all ugly tbf (imho, of course). But let’s face it, this is more of a statement than a product
Like, seriously and not just Swatch. I wanted to buy myself a watch that would look good. Ended up with nothing because good looking watch dont seem to exist.

Did they lower the US import price before the tariff is applied in the US?

Ok, I can give you a Skin Irony, but then you would be paying +200 for a Quartz, why not buy an Orient Bambino or a Hamilton Khaki? much better bang for the buck.
Not to mention the clicking noise of a Swatch quartz. In silence, it drives me nuts.
The most understated watch they make is the Swatch Pay!. Super useful, never fails.
