The Swatch SCUBAQUA Collection deserves to be near the water. Bright colours, translucent cases, playful energy, the whole thing is an ode to summer holidays, kicking back and doing very little. And yet, this little tool watch just got its most practical update ever.

Four new models have joined the lineup, with two of them adding Swatch Pay for contactless payments straight from your wrist. Rather than overhaul the entire collection into the smartwatch category, Swatch has picked just one feature to improve functionality. And in a world where plenty of buyers just want something that looks and feels like a proper watch, a little modern convenience goes a long way.

The collection now spans nine models in total, with new colourways in aqua green, midnight blue, solar orange and electric fuchsia. Inspired by jellyfish, each watch blends white Bioceramic with transparent biosourced material derived from castor oil, giving the cases a floating, almost aquatic look. There’s also a crown at 10 o’clock, glow-in-the-dark details, and 10 bar water resistance for anyone who plans to snorkel after their morning coffee.

MEDUSAE

The translucent aqua green gives MEDUSAE the lightest feel in the range. It plays into the jellyfish concept best, with a clean, almost icy tone that makes the white Bioceramic case pop. If you want the most obviously summer-ready option, this is it.

SEA WASP

Midnight blue is the easiest wear here and probably the safest buy. It keeps the SCUBAQUA shape and transparent detailing but tones down the novelty factor, making it feel closer to a conventional sports watch. If you like the design but not loud colours, start here.

PACIFIC SEA NETTLE

Solar orange brings the most energy to the collection. The transparent case sections work well here, giving the colour extra depth rather than just flat brightness. It’s bold, playful, and best treated as a second watch rather than an everyday one.

  • Reference: SSCU09O100
  • Case Size: 44mm
  • Case Material: White Bioceramic + transparent orange biosourced material
  • Bezel: Transparent orange with lume markers
  • Dial: Transparent orange

FLOWER HAT

Electric fuchsia is the sharpest statement in the lineup. It turns an already unconventional case design into something even more expressive. You either love it or you hate it.

  • Reference: SSCU09P100
  • Case Size: 44mm
  • Case Material: White Bioceramic + transparent pink biosourced material
  • Bezel: Transparent pink with lume markers
  • Dial: Transparent pink
