it's 100 percent true unfortunately. possibly the worse name for a watch ever.Don't know how true but I've seen a lot of posts and images of a new Rolex release named the Land Dweller, Looks alright but Tissot PRX vibes
What watch do you wear?

Just ordered this from a japanese dealer via chrono24. It was £620 in the ukThink I paid 395 with shipping from Japan. Can probably be found cheaper locally these days!
If anyone is interested. This is where I got it from
Japanese Watches | Ships Fast From Japan | Shopping In Japan
www.shoppinginjapan.net
but got it for 310 shipped, obviously not including any import fees that come my way. still a great deal compared to the UK price! Looking forward to having a nice watch again.Excellent ! You got that for a bargain !Just ordered this from a japanese dealer via chrono24. It was £620 in the uk
Although the new GMT Master 2 Tiger Iron is very nice, maybe the nicest of the new releases
Also forgot to say, ymmv, but I’ve purchased a few watches from Japan - no import fee on any of them (one was £890 and still didn’t get a fee)

If you go to Omega it'll be far higher than an indie. Worth checking in with STS. They have an online checker now that might be worth a try for a ballpark: https://swisstimeservices.co.uk/watch-service/service.php
Thats a really beautiful watch. Good choice.
My mate did similar when he was 18 and chose a Tag watch with his mum. 18 years later and the watch is still here but sadly his mum isn't.
I picked up the yellow one having seen @SDK^ post. I really like it!
Always had a soft spot for G-Shock watches and own a few. This is the first analogue face.
Dropped by my parents earlier and my old man asked when I was going diving.

They are definitely overpriced for what they are. Christmas cracker version of the speedmaster comes to mind
Heard horror stories of the plastic dye coming off on the wrist.You can a stainless steel speedy lookalike from a brand like San Martin or pagani design for less money.
I think pagani in particular do an almost exact copy (looks wise, not quality of course
)for £99. Far more durable than a plastic Swatch.

Probably around the £300 -500 mark.

Have a search for if they can be serviced - it wouldn't surprise me if they're sealed (other than the battery compartment) and cannot be repaired. In which case, longevity is poor in the scheme of watches. They are quartz so may well run longer without serving than most cheap mechanicals, but still, makes a bit of a mockery of their banging on about the 'bioceramic'.

I think I'd rather have something like this for daily wear than the moonswatch

Or as IvanDobskey mentioned, Pagani have some homages in steel you can view on Amazon.
I originally just wanted one for the novelty when they were first announced, but I didn't bother in the end.
