Niiiiice! Let us know if it turns your wrist blue. That is a documented problem that led to Swatch withdrawing the Neptune model for a while.

Uh-oh! Your Mission to Neptune is the wrong color. 
Back in the late 1900s, the images Voyager 2 recorded of Uranus and Neptune were in single colors combined to create composite images that showed the planets to be cyan and azure, respectively. While Uranus' published pictures were processed close to its true color, early Neptune images had been "stretched and enhanced" to display its clouds, bands and winds, "and therefore made artificially too blue," study lead author Patrick Irwin, a planetary physicist at the Oxford University in the U.K., said in a statement.
"Even though the artificially-saturated color was known at the time amongst planetary scientists — and the images were released with captions explaining it — that distinction had become lost over time."

But, but, Neptune looks too much like Uranus! But Venus ain't pink, and Mars isn't deep red, so the colors of the MoonSwatches are just cool representations of the planets. |
