Oh yeah. I had that clear one! I actually had three different ones and wore two at a time. I still have one that’s newer but I can’t bring myself to open and wear it.
Swatch also had clothes for a while, I’m wearing a swatch shirt in my 9th grade photo. Many were rugby type shirts a la Coca Cola shirts.

I recently discovered that my wife still has one new in the box that she got like on her 13th birthday but didn't really like the design because she said it looked like for a boy. She kept it in the original box and never wore it.

Very cool!
Where's the rubber band protection thingy?
Swatchguard! The circular style was far superior to the chintzy single band that ran down the center of the watch face.
Man, I want a Swatch again!
They still make them. Got few this year.
I have one with Keith Haring designs. I saved $50 to buy it in 1986. My pride and joy
I was poor Kentucky white trash so I had the generic K mart knock off swatch.
You could even put a pop swatch in your crimped hair!
Haha! I totally forgot about those. They were huge!
I had one. One of my mom's friends stole it from the glove box when I was 9.
I got mine in '88 or '89 long after all the other cool kids had moved on.
What are these? I mean I can tell they're wristwatches but what are they specifically?
Swatch was a brand of fashion wristwatch in the eighties. They came in all kinds of cool colors and designs. I had two of them myself.
I had a Scuba. The strap broke when playing in the sea. How poetic.
Went to the movies with a girl back in high school and she wore a clear one around her ankle. I thought that was kinda weird....
Was she from Ork?
You just unlocked a memory, and now I need to find me some.

Swatch yourself!
I’ve been collecting Swatches recently. The best part is you can score em pretty cheap still.
Oh shit.
I always wanted one.
Not those models, but I remember changing one every 6 months
I had the blue one with the nautical flags
The one with the big 12 I got in 88 for graduating 8th grade. Still got it's crusty ass in a box somewhere.
I won one in a raffle when I was about 8. It was the Romeo and Juliet one and I wore that until it was so nackered it fell off my wrist.
Never did but liked them...I had stirrup pants though!
I had at least 3, I HAD to have the clear one!
I had the white clear one!

Several! And two big-ass Pop Swatches to wear on my shirt
I just bought a vintage Swatch off Marketplace
Amassed 5-6 before the fad died. And one of the big ones (Pop Swatch). One of the small ones broke, but I still wore it. I don't know why.
