Swatch watches - where can I get one?

13 replies

DD (aged 2 last week!) dropped my everyday watch down the toilet a couple of weeks back and it promptly fell apart. I quite fancied a swatch one to replace it but no jeweller seems to sell them any more. I'm sure I read a thread recently about watches here and someone said they wanted a Swatch (Coddy, was it you?). If anyone has bought one recently, please could you let me know where you bought it from? Thanks

I got one from a shop in Liverpool. Have also seen a swatch shop on Oxford St in London. Does that help at all?

Used to be a shop in Manchester (where I bought dh one) but it is gone now. Didn't know Debenhams did them too. Might have to be a trip to the Trafford Centre then....oh no .

They have a Swatch Watch Shop at Liverpool St station if thats any help and I am sure they will have a website!!

I asked for, and received, a Swatch for my birthday as my latest one had died (or rather I killed it!)

I looked at the stand at Liverpool street station but they didn't have the one I wanted so went to a website. There's loads of them about. Just search on Swatch and then compare prices (don't forget to include the delivery charge.)

Thanks everyone. Looks like it will have to be an online shop then. Swatch only ship to US and Japan on their site which is rather annoying. Sent dh to debenhams at lunchtime and they had the grand total of six styles to choose from so he ended up giving up as none of them were what I wanted.

That's OK JanH . I had looked at those two already but wasn't sure about ordering online as I would have liked to try it on first.
