When the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch first launched around a year ago, I was smitten by the idea of getting a £210 or so lookalike to one of my very favourite watches of all time. The original Speedmaster Moonwatch's story is well-told, so I needn't expand further than saying it was the first watch worn on the moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the infamous Apollo 11 mission from 1969. Needless to say, it very quickly became an icon in both horological and non-horological circles, where it has remained as one ever since. By contrast, the MoonSwatch has been dismissed by many as a toy; a clever marketing campaign alongside a sub-par product. Sure, it's got issues. The Bioceramic case doesn't exactly scream that it belongs on a £210 homage to a watch that's well into the thousands in terms of price now, considering it weighs just 32g. The strap makes it a bit of an uncomfortable fit for people to the extent that most people replace them. Moreover, the pushers next to the crown can break, and when you find out they're non-replaceable, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a product backed by one of the largest conglomerate watch groups in the world with two of the most iconic brands' names on the watch's dial. To go along with this, Swatch handled the launch of the MoonSwatch awfully. Long queues at boutiques where people were met with very little to no stock, and when people did get their hands on them, they were met with people immediately wanting to buy the watch off them for a fortune. There was hope that the MoonSwatch, in all its forms, would be released online. A few days after launch, Swatch came out from behind the queues, hype, and insane secondary prices, and stated that they wouldn't be sold online, but that they were working hard to get more stock, reassuring consumers that the watches were not a limited release. Just over a year on however, that's still the case, and although prices on the secondary market have settled to being mostly a small tad above retail, it's still not easy to get one. I feel insanely lucky I've got a handful of the most sought-after models sat here at home. The Mission to Jupiter came first, then an Earth and Mars, swiftly followed by a Pluto, Mercury, and my beloved Mission to the Moon that I had wanted for the best part of a year. I sit and alternate between them when I go out most days, and I can't help but continuously look down at my wrist to realise I've got a MoonSwatch on my wrist. For the people complaining about the poor finishing and the QC issues on them, I hear you, and for some parts of it, I agree. Swatch should have opted for a sapphire crystal to prevent the numerous scratches I've seen other MoonSwatch owners getting, which is why MoonSwatch crystal protectors are now a thing. Moreover, the chronograph pushers should be replaceable, that's a definite. However, even despite these issues, I'm still smitten by the MoonSwatch because there's something here that money can't buy - the feeling of having such an iconic watch on your wrist. It might not be the real thing but for those of us who can't afford the real thing easily, and don't want to dive into the problematic issue of fake watches, then it's the best thing since sliced bread. The MoonSwatch was an exercise in insane marketing that numerous people, myself shamelessly included, bought into. Omega and Swatch are already two iconic watch brands for completely different reasons, and bringing them together created an altogether different beast. However, even if it hasn't all been plain sailing, not just from the stock issues, fights outside the store and everything else, it remains an important watch for a different reason than the original Moonwatch. The Moonwatch is the watch that went to space, the MoonSwatch is the watch that kickstarted a new generation of watch collectors. That might be a big claim, but it's one I'm willing to back wholeheartedly. When I got mine, it sent me down a rabbit hole of learning about watches and taking in as much information as I could about different complications, movements and all the rest of it. I've been sent down the road towards microbrands such as Christopher Ward with their gorgeous C1 Moonglow and the likes of Behrens' Constell. You can probably see a bit of a theme emerging here with the watches I'm beginning to like. Even if there is a theme emerging however, the MoonSwatch kickstarted all of that, and for a lot of other people, it's been much the same story. The watch world has been a different place since the launch of the MoonSwatch, and I'm happy to sit here and say I'm still smitten and wholly in love with mine. I might not be wearing them just as often now, having taken recent delivery of a new Swatch Great Wave and going back to my trusty Hamilton Ventura for an odder aesthetic, but they remain a focal point of my fledgling watch collection. No watch has been so divisive as the MoonSwatch in the watch world in recent times, but I'm going to stick by it. To be honest, I think you should, too.

OPINION: Samsung's recent release of their new run of fold and flip models, the ZFold 4 and ZFlip 4 might just turn a few heads from traditional handsets to their folding cousins. Back in January 2022, I was faced with the odd conundrum of which phone to purchase after my old OnePlus 7 Pro gave up the ghost. The market is awash with some excellent options and truth be told, I had a hard time debating what to go for. Typically, I was someone who opted to stay away from the 'mainstream' as it were - prior to the 7 Pro, I'd owned a Google Pixel 2 and before that, an LG G5, and before that, an old LG G4 Beat. My only exposure to an iPhone in the house was a second hand iPhone 3GS from some years back. After doing a little bit of research, it was between a choice of two, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, or the Galaxy ZFlip 3. My heart wanted the ZFlip 3, and for all the wrong reasons at that - the aesthetic and sleek nature of owning a flip phone in 2022, the fact it had two displays was appealing, and on paper at least, it seemed like a good idea. I was this close to pulling the trigger, before my head said 'What the hell are you doing?'. Then, I took a step back, looked at what I was about to do, and did some more reading. It was only then I realised the problems of the ZFlip 3 - the small battery, dual 12MP camera (come on Samsung, even cheaper phones offer triple or quad setups now), and worst of all, the unsettling crease in the middle of the screen users had reportedly experienced after a few weeks to months of owning the device. Before long, I'd turned my back on the ZFlip 3, and have been the proud owner of an S21 Ultra ever since. Do I regret not picking up the ZFlip 3 instead? Not one bit. Now though, having had a proper look at a ZFlip 4, I can say that for those who are due an upgrade for their phone, it might not be such a bad idea. Samsung has actually made some pretty big changes to the Z-series of foldable compared to the more incremental updates that occur in the more mainstream S-series. The ZFlip 4 offers a more durable frame with a re-engineered hinge, as well as a bigger battery and oodles of improvements to the phone's dual 12MP set of snappers. For instance, there's the power of the FlexCam mode that makes the most of Samsung's partnership with Meta so users can prop their phone up and record hands-free for the ever-increasing march of Instagram Reels or WhatsApp. The cover screen of the ZFlip 4 can also be used as a viewfinder for those all-important selfies, and now offers a preview of your photos before you take them - a small throwback to that Samsung compact camera that provided a front-facing LCD screen - the old DV150F that I always wanted growing up. In addition, the ZFlip 4 is also said to offer a larger pixel size compared to the ZFlip 3 so images will offer more detailed imagery. Okay, it may not be as many wholesale changes as I've made out, but the fact remains that with quality of life improvements such as a smaller hinge, larger battery, and stronger chassis and screen, the ZFlip 4 is a much more intriguing purchase than the ZFlip 3, or indeed any other flip phone out there since their reinvention. After all, it was only a handful of years ago when these phones were breaking and cracking in the hands of reviewers, so you'd think it would only be onwards and upwards from here. You might sit there and think to yourself - "well, what about the Moto Razr 2022"? To be truthful, it's a valid point. On paper, the new Moto Razr, with its larger megapixel sensor, higher refresh rate main display and larger back panel, looks like a better deal than the ZFlip 4. The small problem is that it's only available in China for the time being, and while it is expected to have a global release sooner rather than later according to recent leaks, it's not confirmed properly as to when it might be. The problem is, the new Razr is the latest in the line of Motorola's consistent attempts to revive the iconic flip phone from nearly twenty years ago, and let's face it, the last few attempts haven't exactly worked out too well. The first attempt in 2019 skimped on specs and was panned by reviewers for its overpriced nature, while the second generation tweaked the design a tad and added 5G connectivity and some slightly better internals, but still fell way short of the mark. At least with this third iteration, Motorola has lumped flagship specs inside and attempted to offer a better overall package than what Samsung can, but how good the Razr 2022 will be remains to be seen. Flip phones are still in their infancy, undoubtedly though, but Samsung reckons it's got a design that works with the ZFlip 4 by offering a slew of improvements as opposed to changes compared to its predecessor. Of course, they aren't going to be for everyone, but the ZFlip 4, by attempting to right the wrongs of the previous generations, may just be the first flip phone that more than just us nerds take proper note of.
