This Swatch Windfall brushed aluminum case is topped by a black-plated bezel with tachymeter readings in white, which can be used to measure time over distance. The gunmetal dial face includes three black chrono subdials (enabling you to time events down to 1/10 of a second), stylized skeleton hands with seconds hand and luminous tips, white stick hour markers, and small minute indexes around the outer edge. The aluminum bracelet band has a brushed finish and center links covered by black plastic plackets.
Other features include precise Swiss quartz movement, date window at 4 o'clock, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and snowspray, but not suitable for swimming.
User reviews:
"I learned about this watch in an issue of Money Magazine where an article compared luxury label items to similar quality items that cost much less. In this case it was noted that Swatch owns the high end watch brand Omega, and that the Swatch Windfall looks almost identical to the $3000.00 Omega Speedmaster.
I agree, it is a very handsome watch and I have received numerous compliments on its good looks. It looks many times more expensive than the $100.00 I paid for it. If you don't require the cachet of a high end label then I highly recommend this watch."
"Received as a gift; looks nice, matches anything; feels nice and heavy, crystal seems to resist scratching, although I have somehow managed to scratch the case slightly over two months of wear. All features work as advertised."
"I have own this watch since 2006. It is a good looking watch, but I have the plastic part of the wrist band broken twice now. I had it fixed twice by replacing sections of the band. Now, it has broken again. I won't have it fix any more since it will just be breaking again in about another year's time. I suggest you should consider a watch with stronger wrist band that's made with all metal parts. The plastic is just not good enough. I think it is a bad design on swatch's part."
