I would happily still have the Swatch my first ever girlfriend bought me, was probably the first nice gift I ever got from non-family. Wish I could remember exactly what it looked like... or her for that matter.

I don’t but next time I go to the city I’m going to the Swatch store and buy one. That was my first brand of watch

I do! I have a Sistem51, it’s a fun watch. Swatch has a special place in my heart as it was a Swatch Jellyfish that started my watch obsession when I was about 11 years old. (I wish I still had it!)

I no longer have the Swatch quartz watch from my childhood, but like others in this thread, I have a Sistem51, but mine is white. It's awesome. I rarely wear it though.

I do, but it has been sitting there collecting dust. Probably impulse buy.

Multiple, wear them regularly and especially in the summer months. Although I'll admit since I got my first Sistem 51 upon release I tend not to wear any of the non mechanical models.

I have 2, one I bought for like $20 when I was 16... like 18 years ago... which still works, but never got worn.

The other is a Sistem51 Cream got as a souvenir during a trip to Switzerland. I couldn't help but pick up a "Swiss Watch" when in Switzerland.
