Swatch Watches: I remember those now…
They were the Trapper Keepers of watches at the time.
As I was reading Wil Wheaton's blog about him recalling Swatch Watches, I actually remember a lot of girls in my school wore them. Actually, it was considered cool to wear a lot Swatches.
Swatches were huge back in the 80s and I mean really huge. Many of my friends had a few of them. I myself had those non-Swatches that were Transformer watches.
I was curious about the origins of the Swatches, so I looked them up on Wiki. It looks like they were created by the Swiss and the name comes from “Second Watch” which means Swatch. This is one of those style trends I'd like to see again.
“I like your Swatch!”
By the way, some of these old Swatches are selling for 300 bucks.
