I just bought this Swatch Black 'N Red when I was on vacation. I wanted a black watch and I wanted it to be light (it's made of aluminium) because I get annoyed with heavy jewelery. So far I love it, I've never owned a Swatch branded watch before, my only experience with that group was my Tissot. Not sure about Swatch quality but it's probably not garbage since it's Swiss made and that group makes a large number of fine watches.
