Slower. And the markup will be higher.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
I don't know, you've got a watch that starts about 3x higher MSRP, so I think overall demand might be quite a bit lower. Depends on how many they make. Can they put out Casio volumes? Probably not. It's a more complex watch (I assume). But where are they on the supply and demand curve?
Also, they're launching with a bunch more models to spread out demand. I suspect 3 will become the darlings, and some of the wilder ones will be easier to find.
I do agree that markups will initially be quite a bit higher if they can't get supply out there.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
By all reports, Swatch has been sitting on this secret for nearly a year. It uses an off the shelf movement that they use in many of their other chronographs.AndyS wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:41 pmI don't know, you've got a watch that starts about 3x higher MSRP, so I think overall demand might be quite a bit lower.

My hunch is they've been cranking these out nearly the whole time (and are continuing to do so), and once this initial hype rocket attains orbit, they'll easily be able to resupply the brick and mortars and offer through online channels.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
Did anyone ever get a Giorgio Galli Timex? There are numerous Timex fans here, so wanted to ask. I see they’re still around and considering a 38mm.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
I want one and have no preference in size. I don't have a reason for not getting one, either. Perhaps the next time a decent coupon/sale comes around.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
I'm not sure I've ever seen that one go on sale or works with a code. Shame because it is a looker.

I could swear that I've seen universal 30% off on their site before. Don't remember if it was a promo code, sale, or some other context.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 4:39 pm

I specifically remember seeing 30% off on the American Documents and S1 41mm. Don't know if/when they'll have a similar event.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
My final off-topic comment is that the 38mm version has a sapphire crystal, 41 has mineral. That’s a big factor for me.

Re: 2022 New and Upcoming Releases!
Definitely my favorite of that group of G shocks and I’m happy to see it’s the same price as the others.
