China generic winder.

Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
China generic winder without TPD settings cannot use one. I feel minimum must have a few TPD settings from low to high. Most of the cheap China ones from Qoo are only one speed and that is usually very high which isn't healthy for most watches as typical 2824 or equivalent only need 650 TPD.

Just saw the Sistem 51 available at Swatch JEM.



Any recommendations for where to buy Swatch? Swatch shops wouldn't offer any discount.

Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
Yup, last I heard they only have it in Orchard Gateway. Now it seems Jem also has it.



But as with most Swatch, you can only get them in their boutiques or counters.



I must say the watches look and feel cheap but the design and the thought that went into it, it is worth collecting. It helps that they are inexpensive.



Happy hunting.

The watches are typical Swatch, plastic and flimsy, but I see them as milestone watches. The fully machine assembled mechanical movement with 90 hour power reserve represents a breakthrough in watch design. And for once, the innovation is at the affordable end of the market.

In all honesty that's the most biased review I have ever read. He probably had a defective watch to start with.



Not defending Swatch here..but I had the blue Sistem51 for a while earlier this year..not too long after its launch in Europe. My piece kept decent time within 5s per day when worn, power reserve as advertised and I wore the watch in the shower more than once with no ill effects. My only gripe was that it runs a lot faster on my winder and there is some "play" in the hands when adjusting time. Ultimately flipped it as it was difficult matching the color to my usual casual wear colors.



So for bros who want to purchase one, don't let that particular tear down/review put u off, there are plenty of more objective reviews on the net- by watch makers as well as watch lovers.



The standard 2 years warranty also gives me a fair amount of assurance.



Take the Sistem51 for what it is...a cheap..funky watch. And plastic components will eventually make it's way into other low end watches.

read the review; I'm not impressed with the writer's total bias-ness. If he's so particular about accuracy, then just go buy a Quartz or g-shock. If he's so particular about workmanship, then please spend the dough and buy some high end pieces. I will wear my 51 with pride in the meantime:

Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
What's the usual discount on Swatch? I saw the Sistem51 available at about 180 here in Taipei after tax refund, wondering if that's a good deal or should I wait till Singapore shops start offering it at discount.

Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
Swatch boutique will never offer a discount. Not sure if sistem51 is available at other ships? Haven't seen them outside of boutiques.

Yup, I know. So was wondering what the usual discount at other shops is for Swatch. Hopefully they will carry the Sistem51 at some point.



The price here for the Sistem51 is about 15% off Singapore's retail, which is decent if not spectacular.

Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
Sistem 51 more for the novelty of the new 100% machine/robot manufactured movement I guess. Might get a black sistem51 one day...

to each its own, I guess. I think the sistem is a freaking work of art.
galaxy_convoy
Re: Swatch sistem 51 in singapore
Agreed, this low cost fully automated mechanical movement could signal a new direction in watches. Especially with Apple Watch and the like poised to get more non-watch wearers interested in watches. If (when) the movement makes its way into brands like Hamilton or Tissot, their sales could explode. Casual watch buyers look more at the brand and the price, rather than the movement.
