That’s not a knock on Swatch by any means, however the Tide sits at a better value level and ought to really feel extra like a luxurious product. 

Like the opposite watches within the Aikon Tide assortment, this one is powered by a quartz motion, outfitted with a sapphire crystal, and features a screw down crown that aids the watch in retaining water-resistant to a full 100 meters. The retail value is $850.
