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.
