Swatch Sexy Thing

Owners report the Swatch Sexy Thing can feel heavy and is prone to scratching, with one owner noting significant scratching within a month of minimal use that created shadows on the dial. The watch is described by some as a tacky, "corky experiment" from the 80s. On balance, owners rate the Swatch Sexy Thing poorly due to its tendency to scratch and its perceived tackiness.
