The more I look at the AP x Swatch Royal Pop collection, the more I feel the 3 o’clock crown variants are the sleeper picks of the entire launch.

Unlike the 12PM crown versions, these already follow traditional wristwatch ergonomics — and with the officially confirmed:

• 40mm case size
• 8.4mm thickness

…the dimensions are basically standard modern watch proportions.

No official wrist straps yet from Swatch, but considering:
removable POP architecture
integrated case design
modular construction
and the 3PM crown orientation

…I genuinely think aftermarket wrist conversions/adapters are inevitable.

The third image is a concept visualization I made showing how insanely good these could look as wearable wrist watches with rubber/nylon/leather straps.

I’ll be queueing up for 2 pieces on launch day.
And before anyone asks — yes, I literally live opposite the store, so chances of securing them are pretty high.

If anyone is seriously interested in getting one without dealing with launch queues/stock uncertainty, DM me beforehand.

Hi everyone,

Indian, M25 here:

I’m trying to figure out whether pursuing an MSc in Marketing from Europe makes sense for me at this stage, and I’d really appreciate some honest input.

My background:

10th: 10 CGPA
12th: 88%
B.Tech in Food Technology (Amity University) – GPA: 8.23
~13 months work experience as a Project Manager at a food auditing consultancy
MBA (Marketing + IT) – GPA: 8.5, Gold Medal in IT
~7 months experience as a Sales Leadership Trainee at Aditya Birla Capital

My dilemma:
Since I already have an MBA in Marketing, I’m unsure if doing an MSc in Marketing would actually add value or just be redundant.

I’m considering Europe mainly for:

Better global exposure
Potentially stronger brand value of top schools
Better long-term career opportunities

But I’m concerned about:

Whether top schools will even consider someone with an MBA already
ROI (tuition + opportunity cost)
Whether I should instead just continue working and grow in marketing/sales roles

What I want to understand:

Does an MSc in Marketing after an MBA make sense, or is it overkill?
Should I focus on gaining more work experience and aim for something else (like MiM alternatives, specialized programs, or even just career growth)?
If Europe is the goal, what kind of profile/work experience would actually make me competitive for top schools?
Would switching to a more specialized field (like digital marketing, analytics, branding, etc.) be a better move than another degree?

Open to blunt and practical advice. Thanks in advance.
