The watches include the BEST.MOM.EVER. and BEST.DAD.EVER. styles, which put Marge Simpson and Homer Simpson in the spotlight, respectively. The watches are each covered in imagery of each respective character with additional graphics that pay homage to some of their quirks or personality traits. The new Swatch x The Simpsons watches are being added to the ongoing collection of The Simpson's-themed timepieces from Swatch. The watch brand has also hinted at additional styles slated to arrive later in 2024. The watches are positioned as the perfect gift for Millennial and Gen X parents who grew up watching the cartoon.
