I wonder, are they flavored? Scratch and sniff?

As we've seen that the nonsense eco-material they make them out of has a tendency to melt on one's wrist, I'm curious why anyone (other than perhaps a child) would still want one?

The color staining aside. We’ll see if this is a true issue in time. Though you were tongue and cheek with the child comment you are somewhat spot on.

Not sure how old you are but I am a child of the 80s and 90s when Swatches were the super in thing. Now those of us who grew up then and loved Swatches have some spending money. While I could arguably go out and spend 2-$4k on an Omega it would not be the wisest financial decision. Though if I were to spend the coin I would likely sway towards a Longines personally.
But the fact is the 80s and 90s kids have some money to spend and I think it’s a pretty cool colab (think that is what the kids call it these days).
But just like Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, and lots of things 80s and 90s folks like me are flocking to them in droves because we get to relive a bit of our past with a new twist on it.

Do I hope they get the color transfer issue taken care of if it is actually an issue yup.
Because as I stated earlier I would really like a Mission to Mercury for the nostalgia with a twist.

I can see Swatch gluing chalk together and coloring it with food dye and someone saying “let’s call it bioceramic the watch nerds will love that…we can’t really call it chalk glued epoxy…”

I hadn't really considered it, but that might be rather close to the mark! I was thinking recently that maybe it was the little planet (sticker?) that covered the battery hatch that might have been what was running. I'm not following any of the watch forums anymore, so it may have been noted. I pretty much only use SF anymore. Watch forums are boring to me.
