I got a typical plastic Swatch in 1989 when I was 16. Mine had a plain black band. I always wore my Swatch with the buckle on the top of my wrist. I must have thought that was so cool wearing it like that. When I was 17 the local newspaper did an article about my extensive involvement in the community (I always cared very much about helping those in need), and there was a picture in the paper of me wearing my Swatch that way. Recently we came across that article and my girlfriend noticed that and said she used to wear hers that way too. I liked wearing my Swatch so much I even wore it during a few games when I was on my high school baseball team.

I got a Swatch in 1983 when I went to Germany with my parents. We took a trip to Switzerland because my mom wanted a nice watch. The showed us the Swatch. It was intended to be a disposable watch. The guys said just throw it away when the battery dies. We paid the equivalent of $8.00 at the time. I wore the hell out of it until it got shattered one day in the football locker room.

I used to always wear mine with the buckle on the top of my wrist too. The band was grey with a yellow buckle. I remember in 1989 at my high school graduation party all my relatives were teasing me and asking me why I wear it like that, I was like because I'm cool. As a graduation gift my 7 year old neice got me that exact same Swatch that I had...I felt so bad for her when she seen my Swatch was the same one she got for me. I gave the second one to my girlfriend and we wore matching Swatches.

I HAD 4 SWATCH WATCHES AND I WORE THEM TWO IN EACH HAND OR SOMETHIMES ALL FOUR AT ONCE...

i just recently bought a swatch watch and i love it...i didn't have one in the 80s

I wore two or three at a time. I had the blue one that smelled like mint and the pink one that smelled like strawberries...lol ;)

I had 5 Swatch watches. I would wear two or three at a time. I thought I was sooo cool. I loved the swatch watches that came out with the BIG huge face!
