NPOV from April 2008 without any related discussion removed. TONE from April 2008 removed as well. The article is by no means exemplary, but again, no reference to any relevant discussion was found.

ORIGINAL RESEARCH seem warranted, however. For starters, see citation needed, first paragraph. Rdeiriar (talk) 07:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Swatch Guards & Other Accessories
I'm surprised that there's no mention of the "Swatch Guard" gimmick that existed at the same time as the Swatch's peak popularity. I remember there being small eco-system of accessories around them similar to what happened to the iPod early on. I'd add something, but it'd be "original research." --DLWormwood (talk) 20:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Popularity
I find it weird that this article says the height of the Swatch popularity was the mid 80s. It was certainly until the early 90s that certain collectible pieces changed hands for hundreds if not thousands of dollars. They were extremely collectible. Lots of people were collecting them. No mention here? Or was it just because it was more a European thing so it's not worth mentioning? Dollvalley (talk) 22:18, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Advertising
The price that is included and various other content might be seen as promotional — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackadder1000 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Swatch/Swatch Group ambiguity
There is a separate article for The Swatch Group that discusses the company, which is massive and of which the Swatch brand represents a very small percentage. The opening paragraph of this article does not make clear that it is about the Swatch brand in particular, and in fact it seems to indicate just the opposite. Perhaps this could be re-titled "Swatch (brand)" and the intro re-written. Thomas Craven (talk) 19:16, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation
No mention of other meanings of the word swatch, like colour patches for paints / fabrics? (see wiktionary, for example) Thrapper (talk) 20:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree, I'm going to try to ambiguate this page. Bod (talk) 06:31, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Swatch logo needs updating
The Swatch logo being used in this article is not accurate to the logo currently on the official website or social media. The contemporary official typeface has slightly wider kerning, and the Swiss flag symbol is more faithful to the actual flag. Additionally, I also realised recently that the Swiss flag in the logo is replaced with "SWISS MADE" text for certain countries, particularly with an Islamic majority where some people might confuse the Swiss flag for a religious symbol.

Contempo
It should be fairly clear that the swatch watch guards and products made to be preliminary to the swatch watch only.
