The Movado Valor, IMO, is the epitome of Movado, simple, elegant, beautiful. The Valor is very thin, as the case is practically the same thickness as the band. Unlike titanium watches (that were the craze a few years back) or stainless steel watches, the Tungsten Carbide and weight of the Valor makes it feel substantial, and balanced. It feels like jewelery, but the design is masculine.
BUT, the problem, Tungsten Carbide is "brittle" compared to other metals. I dropped my watch in the bathroom on ceramic tile, and somehow, a small corner of the case/crown, right next to where the band connects, shattered/chipped off at 45 degree angle from the corner, about 2 millimeters. No one notices unless I point it out, but I still know it, and it is a little sad, but I still wear it most every day. Ive had it for over 6 years, and have had to replace the battery only once. It still keeps perfect time and looks new. Unless you have a perpetual calendar or digital watch, the simplicity of having just the time is great because you never have to worry that a short month is going to make your watch a day off.

Great watch! Exceptional styling and workmanship. Tungston Carbide is pretty heavy, but you will get used to it after wearing the watch for a few days.
As for the scratch "resistance" of this watch. The only material known to man that is scratch PROOF is a diamond. Tungston Carbide is scratch resistant. Therefor, a previous reviewer is either out a $2200.00 watch (retail) or didnt try to rub their watch "over a curb". If they had, the watch would be destroyed.
I sit at a desk at a computer by profession and the links that come in contact with the desk daily show very fine scratches. Thats just your arm moving accross a desk. Imagine what a curb would do....

Ive had my watch for over one year now and I still love it! I have always been a Movado fan for years now. This is my second Movado. My first is the regular Mens Classic style but since Ive had it for about 10 years, I wanted to upgrade to a nicer one. The Valor is well worth the money I paid for it! I wear my older watch during the weekdays since its still in great condition and for weekends I wear my Valor - which gives me an additional reason to look forward to weekends. The Valor is mirror shiny and has a very solid feel to it in terms of weight due to the tungsten metal. I like the fact that the watch is scratch resistent although I would never rub it against the curb. I can wear my Valor with any outfit be it business or casual without having to worry if its appropriate to the occasion. This will probably be the last luxury watch I ever buy since Movado has such high production values. In terms of battery life, during the time that I have owned my old Movado, I have had to replace the battery 2 times so far.

In a word i say this watch is awesome". I saw this watch at a movado store for $2299 and got this model number to search online. Luckily amazon itself is selling the watch at half the price with its extended warranty. Its soo beautiful and its worth the price at amazon

This watch is made of beautiful tungsten carbide which is extremely durable and highly scratch resistant. Its very thin, although its a bit on the heavy side. It also keeps excellent time. Ive owned it for 3 years and still has no scratches. Nothing worse that an expensive watch that has scratches if you ask me.

With its silky smooth tungsten carbide material and out of this world bracelet design the Movado Valor stands out from the crowd, it satisfied my need of buying any more watches except for Cartier (still on my list), its a joy to look at and to own, and I will never get tired of it thats for sure.
As for the movement we all know what Movado is to watches, its Bentley to cars, Rolls Royce would be Cartier.
Too bad the Valor line is being discontinued as Im writing this review, but I hope the company designs another break through model for the years to come.

This watch is without a doubt perfect. I always wanted a nice watch but was afraid i would destroy it as i have the habit of doing that to my watches.. I have done everything to this watch and it still looks brand new after three years. you can actually take this watch and rub in on the curb and it will not scratch. This watch is a steal for under a $1000.00 and well worth it. if you can ever find it for 900 or under you have to be a fool not to buy it.

This is the best price you can get for this any where in the market and on online stores. Watch comes with the manual guarantee card. Highly recommended.

Shipped in a timely manner. Only thing is that the watch does not come with any extra links. You will need to order those from Movado at $36 each if you need the bracelet larger. Other than that, its a great deal. Serial number was confirmed by Movado.
