I'm very fond of watches and Swatch is one of my favourite brands. When I first saw the 'Filamento Multicolore', I immediately fell in love with its design: colorful, fresh and very original. Before buying it, I read several reviews and most of them made me really concerned about the watch strap: 'the strips easily come off and it is a watch that is difficult to put on by yourself', they said. Despite these comments, I decided to buy it anyway. I've had this watch for almost a year. I haven't have any trouble with the strap: I find it easy to put on and none of the strips has come off yet (I live alone, so I have to do this by myself, and also, I'm a bit clumsy when it comes to chains and complex straps). It's not true that this watch is too small. I have small wrists, true, but I have to wear this watch loosely. Friends of mine with much bigger wrists have tried it and they find it comfortable. Finally, it's very light and the watch crystal seems to be unscratchable.
This is a humble review. I understand other people might have experienced problems with this product, but maybe it's because they are not being quite honest. Perhaps they actually broke the strips or are simply too clumsy. I recommend this watch to anyone who's looking something cool, original and trustable.

This is a nice little watch, good for small wrists, BUT the strap is a bit delicate - the coloured strands which make up the watch bracelet seem to be prone to coming away from the fixings. I bought the watch to replace the one my daughter lost, but the first purchase didn't work, then the strap on the replacement came apart as soon as my daughter fastened it on her wrist. The strands are coloured plastic coated, and it seems that they are not always securely clamped by the fixings. The third watch appears to be fine, but I am saying that with baited breath as on looking at other reviews, people have had the same problem with the strap. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen with this one - my daughter will wear with care, it is certainly not a robust watch.

This is my third watch, but worth every penny just to look that little bit different. Although it is a waterproof watch, the leather will not last the test of time should you keep it on to shower or swim. However, it is glamourous, fun and I often get comments about it! I look down at it every day and think what a nice watch I have.

when the watch came it had a poor clasp on the back which would be diificult to secure. Dissapointing as it was for a birthday present and we had to return it.

I've had this watch over three years, never had an issue with the strap coming apart, the plastic coloured coating are coming off now, but nothing a new strap won't solve. Also have no problems doing it up, but my teeth hold the end of the chain bit to work as a third hand! It's had no end of compliments too, and has weathered all kinds of everyday abuse, as the scratches on the face show - but even these are only visible close up, which for someone as clumsy as me, is brilliant!

A fantastic watch- incredibly robust- I should know, I wear it all the time, even when i milk the cows and work on the farm-it seems strong enough to cope with everything! one problem is the catch- incredibly difficult to do up with one hand- I can only do it sitting down with the watch and wrist balanced on one knee. My daughter gave me this for my 60th birthday- I think to help me to feel youngish and feminine and with a reference to my hippy background-it works!

Bought this watch almost 3 years ago and it's been really good to me!
I scratched it by accident 2 days after buying it and was devastated, but it didnt affect the look at all, it was ridiculous resilient! The strap looks like it should be quite flimsy, but it definitely isn't. I'm a fairly active person, and I've managed to keep the watch one whilst going to the gym, doing all my martial arts training as well. It's light and versatile and goes with every outfit.

The batter has only just run out now, and I've gotten so used to having it on my wrist it feels weird now!
I would recommend this to anyone, its a perfect size and easy to use and get on and off.

Very pleased with the look and individuality of this watch. Only criticism is that I have to get somebody else to do it up for me. It's really tricky. Once on its great!

The watch looks lovely and is good for a fine wrist, but I would simply not have asked for it as my birthday present it if I'd realised what an utter pain it is to do up. It would be interesting to hear how Swatch envisages this. It is a very poor design. If you want it to fit fairly closely rather than hanging loose like a bangle, you have to be a bit of a contortionist and a third hand would be really useful! I almost never manage it first time. Such a pity...

This was a replacement for the same style watch that I bought over 4 years ago at the airport on my way to Goa! It proved to be a fantatsic buy and I wore it virtually everyday for work but after such heavy wear the strap was looking decidedly tatty (although still perfectly functional) so when I saw the same style was still available I decided to replace it. The fastening is a little tricky at first to fasten on your own but once you've got the knack it's quite easy to do (it helps when the strap has moulded to the shape of your wrist a bit as it tends to stay where you want it too whereas when it's new it tends to want to lay flat)
