More Information

Slim, Stylish, Easier to read time than what I had imagined.     On: 2008-07-17

Ive had this watch for a little over 3 weeks now...

The best features I love:

- Thin. Its not a hugh honking piece of metal like most watches out there. If youre a thin, sleek man, or you dress that way, then this is probably the watch for you. I cant see beefier guys wearing this watch. It would look out of place with their physique.

- Stylish. Ive gotten about 4 comments on my watch so far. Everyone recognizes the Movado look. It helps to boost my ego.

- Easy to read. Yes. Its not that hard to read. You just need to think a little more about where the hour hand is, but its become automatic for me now. And if you tilt the watch just right, you can read it in low light conditions because of the shiny, metal hands.

Some things I dont like:

- Smudges. The face takes up fingerprints like the front of an iPhone. Cant keep it clean. erg.

- Strap wear. Im dubious if the strap will be able to handle a year of daily wearing. Well see.

Other things:

- Not as small as you think. Yes its not a large faced mens watch, but it is most defintiely larger than a large womans watch. Like I said before, its sleek, so buy that if thats your look.
Movado Moderno/Museum??     On: 2008-05-14

I purchased this as a replacement watch for my son, who seems to have lost his 4 yr old Movado Moderno, given to him as a gift. Its very attractive and distinctive on his wrist,keeps perfect time and the sapphire crystal never seems to scratch. But, I am still wondering if I was mistakenly sent the Movado Museum watch rather than the Moderno which I ordered. The tag number on the watch he received was that of the Moderno, but the watch looked to be a few mm more in diameter and fit the description of the Museum, which is very similar but 5mm larger in diameter...further, the watch seemed larger on his wrist than the one he had previously. For a man, this is probably a better look, but since we were trying to replace (unnoticed)what he had before, it seems noticeable that it is larger. All in all..the watch is fantastic and a quality piece.
Really good looking watch     On: 2008-04-02


I bought this watch for one reason only, it is beautiful. The watch is very slim and light and it is sleek and attractive. It has a leather band that is very comfortable and just fits my big wrist with one hole to spare. The second time I wore it I noticed some moisture under the glass that dissipated. I am worried that this may need repair or replacement. It has never been under water so this is a concern.

It is battery operated so I can put it down and wear it on special occasions without having it lose time. It appears to be a very accurate time piece.

I had an excellent delivery (one day) experience and found the price to be almost half of the mall shop I visited before ordering from Amazon.











great looking watch just alittle small     On: 2008-03-10

the watch looks amazing but size wise it is alittle small. The size actually seems to work out well though for business casual its not to much for a nice shirt and kakis like some of the watchs some people try to wear. My advice to anyone purchasing this watch just look closely at the size comparison pictures and make sure its right for you.
Great watch     On: 2008-02-26

I received this watch as a gift some months back and just love it. At first I was skeptical as to what might distinguish this Movado from my Skagen, which looks virtually identical. The answer? The materials. While the face and body of my Skagen scratched easily, my Movado shows no signs of wear. It is definitely worth spending extra for a well-made watch with a sapphire crystal and higher quality steel. Also, it doesnt hurt that Movado makes a watch that is both beautiful and understated (nice for guys who enjoy watches but dont want something that looks like jewelry). All together, I am very happy with this item.
A classic     On: 2008-02-09

One of the best watched I have owned so far. It is very elegant and very light, you do not feel it in your rest. very pleased with it.
Tiny Face     On: 2008-01-24

The watch face is very small - resembles a ladies watch. It is a good idea to measure the face of a watch you like and then look at the dimensions of the watch you want. I learned a valuable lesson.
Very thin and smaller than expected     On: 2008-01-18

Quality watch but picture is little bit misleading as the actual dial and strap is very thin and smaller than expected. Picture listed
Movado watch     On: 2008-01-18

The movado watch that I purchased for my son is a beautiful watch, however he is a tall young man and the watch looked too small on him. I would recommend to others.
Elegant and timeless     On: 2008-01-18

Bought this for my husband who wanted a smart watch for going out rather than the bulky watch he normally wears, which has alarms and different time zones and altitude measurements and all the bells and whistles. This is the exact opposite - minimal and smart, and surprisingly modern given it was designed over half a century ago. When he only needs to know the time roughly its great. I was slightly surprised that it is quite so small - I would be happy wearing it (though I am not tiny!) but my 64" pal said it would get lost on his wrist! Came nicely presented.
Great Watch     On: 2008-01-14

Excellent watch, the next day delivery from amazon its perfect. The only thing I need to mention, its this watch its small, but for me its great.
Not a bad looking watch     On: 2008-01-11

My old-school dad and uncle gave me trouble about it asking "how am I going to tell what time it is without any numbers," but other than that its a good looking watch. I agree that the face is smaller than you would expect by the pictures, but its a nice looking watch. Feels expensive.
Excelent     On: 2008-01-09

I love the Crystal of this watch. The style is also good, but it is rather small. the leather band looks a bit feminine in my opinion but it is good too.
Beautiful Watch     On: 2008-01-01

This watch is a beautiful watch, but the face is too small. I think that most men would prefer a larger faced watch.
Great Watch     On: 2007-12-25

I bought this watch as a gift, and he loved it. I was worried when I read other reviews that said that it is too small for a man(he is a very tall one) but it looks great. It is not like those oversized watches that are popular these days, but for someone who is looking for a classic look, it is great.

I bought this one for my wife     On: 2007-12-18

This is most definitely not a mens watch. Its very dainty. Thin case. Small diameter dial. On her it is very nice. Although I am glad that I did not pay retail... it is worth the amazon price, not the retail price.
not nearly enough watch there to warrant much over $200
Love it     On: 2007-11-14

Its the perfect size except for the wrist band. Im going to poke a hole because I have a small wrist. Looks very nice! No problems so far.

Excellent watch     On: 2007-09-03

Exactly what I was looking for. Very thin and lightweight, scratch resistant and water resistant. The distinctive Movado style is unmistakeable, and the watch communicates class. This is a watch that I will wear daily with business casual attire and feel comfortable.
My Daily Watch     On: 2007-08-26

The Movado is elegant, light and goes well as a day-to-day watch that is a great value. I rotate it with other watches I have and this one gets more compliments than all of the same category.
Awsome     On: 2007-08-26

I was very excited when ordering this watch, seeing that I saw it in a Movado store for twice the price, ordered and I am now happily wearing the watch. Great condition and everything. A+
great watch     On: 2007-08-14

I got this watch for my boyfriend and he loves it! The face wont scratch because its made of sapphire, which is very strong in comparison to quartz. People compliment him all the time on the watch. Guys love how sleek it looks. Definitely a great gift idea.
A watch with style     On: 2007-07-05

Im the sportsy and sophisticated type, but sometime I like to be able to relax. I find that as a man, the type of watch you have gives others an impression of their personalities, to some extent.

I like the sleek, simple yet elegant design of this Men Movado watch. This is the first one Ive purchased and liked.

Barely any scratches through daily normal use. Bought this since Jan. 2007.

Even though theres no numbers on the watch, im able to tell time with 95% precision.

I think this watch is great.

Great watch, but.     On: 2007-05-07

Ok, this is a great looking watch, I bought it, but, it looked really small on my wrist. It looks like a watch for a woman not a man. So I had to return it. Not a good watch if you have big wrists.
Slick, clean, quality.     On: 2007-04-13

That basically sums it up right there. This watch is really slick; it looks very professional and so clean. The face is amazingly well designed with minimalism in mind. I really enjoy looking at this watch. Most people recognize the design too and for the price, its basically unbeatable.

One of the nicer factors is at the price; you get a sapphire crystal, which is very nice to have. Sapphire being the second hardest material known to man, it doesnt scratch very easily, so theres always a clean, scratch free face that you dont have to worry about.

The one thing that people may miss is that at the price, it is quartz, otherwise it would cost significantly more. They did not bother with the incorporation of a faint ticking noise even, which I am very used to. I know it does not have a second hand, but most analog clocks at least have some tick in them. That was the only thing that bothers me on rare occasion.

satisfied     On: 2007-02-21

satisfied with purchase/ del. as promised, style a given. only concern is with 5 yr. guarantee from amazon rather then from movado
Size does matter......     On: 2007-02-06

Size does matter when it comes to a mans watch. This is a very nice watch and I would have kept it if it werent for the fact that the face of the watch was a lot smaller than I had hoped.
A Great Gift     On: 2007-01-25

I purchased the Movado watch for my husband as a xmas gift. He loves it. It looks great on him. I like it very much too.
Sweet     On: 2007-01-24

I have the gold plated version but i cant tell the time on it for my life. im good at midnight/noon, 3, 6, and 9. the watch is strictly for sure. i look at my cell phone for time, lol. ive recieved so many nice comments about this watch, i love it and i wear it daily now. Now, I want to get something with a metalic band.
Great watch     On: 2007-01-20

Im really glad Movado changed the styles of their mens watches. This watch is really sleek, and now really affordable.
Beautiful, Elegant, Modern     On: 2006-05-11

Ive owned my Movado Moderno watch for decades. It is incredibly thin - its a shame that thinness isnt a data point listed in the product description. My watch has stood up to daily wearing and still works great.

Who would want a watch like this? Someone who enjoys wearing crisp, elegant, and design-savvy clothes. Someone who decorates their home in sleek but beautiful furnishings. Someone who always wears black. Someone who loves great watches.

...or someone who just enjoys a simple and perfect design.

Someone who really needs to see numbers on the face, or someone who likes to have highly specific times wont be happy with this watch, as there are no numerals and exact timing is impossible.

I love my Movado and you will love yours.

simple...like the iPod!     On: 2006-05-09

Its simple, its uncluttered, and its elegant. Just like the iPod. I love how the 12 oclock orb reflects light like a silver orb.

If you need to measure microseconds, require vibrating alarms, measure heart beats and receive emails, this is not the watch for you.

I was worried for a bit that I might not be able to tell time with this, but I guessed and got the time right 5 out of 5 times (8:22, 7:50, 6:32, 5:43, 4:25) all within +/- 3 minutes, so I am all set.
Beautiful Movado Watch     On: 2006-02-25

I am very happy with the product. Amazon delivered it right on time and the packaging and info booklet were original Movado.
Great watch     On: 2006-02-17

This watch looks great.. it isnt as big as a lot of the popular watches out there now, the face pretty slim, which is good for me because I have smaller wrists. People are surprised that it doesnt cost more, it gets a lot of compliments. The band is leather, so it isnt as durable as some other bands would be.
disappointed     On: 2006-01-29

I had been looking forward to wearing my new Movado watch...however, it did not work and I had to return it. I am hoping for a replacement that is functional. It is beautiful and I would love it, Im sure, if it worked!
Just what you would expect, but a little smaller     On: 2005-12-17

Right when you get the watch, it looks absolutely gorgeous. In this case, the pictures you see do NOT mislead.

Except on one part, the size is actually a bit smaller than I expected. The strap length is also not the largest. My wrists are average and I am already at the 3rd to last notch.

I would recommend this to everyone except those with huge wrists, you might have trouble putting this on.
Classic Design with a Modern Twist     On: 2005-12-08

I bought the Moderno because although I like the design of the Museum, its a little bit old-looking now. Its a very nice watch and it keeps good time, which is basically all you can ask of a timepiece. Plus, I got it for a great price. I strongly recommend this Movado.
Simple Chic     On: 2005-08-28

This watch is among my favorites in my watch collection. It is simple and chic.

Timeless taste . . .
