mine was black with pink and green numbers and hands.  I also had a white rubber type of thing that sat over the face hooked on both straps to stop the face getting scratched.  I don't remember what they were called though

The face had French words in place of the numbers and the band was a black & white photo collage of who knows what (It always made me think of Depeche Mode's "101" album).

Haha oh yes my Swatch, loved it.  The perfect 80s accessory.  My Swatch was transparent so you could see all the gears in it.  Around the diameter it had a flourescent green ring.  The minute hand was a white lightening bolt.  The hour hand was hot pink.  It had a black band.  So cool looking in black light  8)

Mine was also the transparent, but it had a green-ish tint to it.  It also had a transparent band, but I don't remember what the hands were.

I didn't have a Swatch myself, but my brother's girlfriend (now my sister-in-law) had two, one on her wrist and one on her ankle.  The one on her ankle was kept at Bombay time.  I still to this day don't know why!!!!

I had a swatch for my wrist, and ankle too, how funny. But mine were both on reg time. My wrist one was black w/black and white checkerboard and red hands. My ankle one was grey with white face and hot pink hands. Loved those things  ;D

I didn't have a Swatch Watch but I did have a cat named Swatcha-actually it was susposed to be German for Black but I had trouble pronouncing it. So the guy I got the cat from told me it was like the watch with an "A" on the end-so the name stuck.
