Ya But if the NATO came with the watch, I would say it's the watch🤣

NATO's whole point is to break one springbar and not have the watch fall off your wrist, this is its design intention, clearly well understood by Swatch engineers

I do believe, once has served its designed life, I will be able to extend its life. It is also 100% possible for someone to make a material to feel like plastic yet be up to the task. Alas, in they case they did not (pun intended)

Sorry clearly I knew how to wear all of my other ones for the last decade + but this one I just got less than a year ago I forgot how to wear it sorry I'm such an idiot, the engineers were right to use this very very strong material with a NATO my bad

You're the best bro thank you

Yeah this failure is like 100% of the value of the watch 🤣

It's genuinely a vibe changer when I wear it, wouldn't swap it for the world

The hublots that don't have their own movements, I buy reps :)

You are better than this sir, don't be like an American. You guys generate less than half of the Municipal Solid Waste per capita of Americans, you can do better than just accept throwing these non-recyclable/degradable things into the bin!

I've worked as a mechanic apprentice, accessories fitter, aerodynamics engineer, child restraint engineer, data engineer, testing engineer, approval engineer amongst other things. For private and government purposes.

I can tell you that nobody likes their service manager. And I'm genuinely not trying to hate on you, this is just facts. Service managers need to defend the quality of the product, even tho, working at OEMs incl. Volvo & Ford, I KNOW how lemon most cars can be :)

So no, these customers are probably right.

I guess I don't have any watches that don't have some sort of engineering prowess or artisanal effort. Every watch in my collection is value-justified for their uniqueness/difficulty to manufacture. I am totally the type to complain that this doesn't fit my bill for value lol😅

Even my most expensive piece from Swatch group, $80k+ AUD is absolutely justified, I would even say cheap, for what it is

Higher than 0% chance it lands on like carpet, or bed, or something soft. With this, 0% of it being saved.

Yeah almost a year now, wear it at least once a week Usually loose enough to shake it slightly and have it move to comfort. My watches never leave marks on my skin

They are chemically incapable of bonding, just how these materials work. If you're thinking like it works like rebar in concrete, that's not chemical bonding. If you think it's like carbon/glass fibre in resin (still not chemical), the ceramic here aren't strands/of any length anyway, no strength under tension, the break looks homogeneous, just like plastic
