I’ve never thought of them as disposable. They may not be expensive... but dollar for dollar, they are pretty accurate, reliable watches.

The guy at the watch repair shop said they were all glued toughener and machine assembled in such a way that they couldn't really be repaired, so I find it really odd that people would pay 1-2k for one.

They’re definitely glued together... and people paying that much for a swatch... well let’s just say most swatches don’t sell for that. There are a select few that are collectible for some reason - but for he most part can be had between $20 and $250. And I’d stack most of th $250 ones up against any other watch in that price range.
