Discussion Starter · #1 · 11 h ago (Edited)

Many concerning reports have appeared about the MoonSwatch in the last few days since the release. The case seems to bleed pigment on the skin.

Could this be a health risk issue? The blue dye is mixed with the bioceramic resin which the case is made off. Bioceramic is a mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio-derived plastic. The ceramic is made of zirconium dioxide according to the swatch website which already had released a bioceramic watch in 2021.

Meaning that the pigment bleeding issue could mean that the skin can soak this up, meaning that it will also soak up the chemicals which the plastic material is made off and this can find its way into your blood system. What are your thoughts?
If this is proven the case, then Swatch is facing a class action and the Omega brand will be associated with a potentially dangerous product. Forget the Swatch origins, its Omega's brand on the face and that is what people are seeing.

That’s been on the website since launch day and to be blunt, there’s nothing there to say they’re not just going to drip feed
