Ranking Criteria:
1. Investment Value: 4/10
Description: While the MoonSwatch collection has generated significant buzz, the investment value is relatively low compared to traditional luxury watches. The accessible price point makes it less likely to appreciate significantly over time.
2. Pre-owned Pricing: 5/10
Description: Pre-owned prices are generally stable but can fluctuate based on demand. The watch remains affordable in the resale market, with prices varying from $200 to $300, depending on condition and rarity.
3. Reliability: 7/10
Description: The quartz movement is known for its accuracy and low maintenance. Swatch watches are generally reliable, but the use of bioceramic may not be as durable as metal counterparts.
4. Wow Factor: 8/10
Description: The collaboration between Swatch and Omega lends a unique appeal to the watch. Its striking design and thematic connection to Earth, along with the limited availability, create a strong "wow factor" among collectors and enthusiasts.
