Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely report that the Swatch Does the It Tick has a loud ticking sound, with some finding it noticeable enough to be heard by others, though many become accustomed to it. One owner notes the crystal scratches very easily and is difficult to polish out. The watch features a quartz movement and 30m water resistance with a 41mm case. On balance, owners find the Swatch Does the It Tick to be a polarizing timepiece, with its loud ticking being a defining, though often accepted, characteristic.
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.
