Pic looks good, but I can't say if this is fake or unwarrantied.

Just like Klipsch speakers, where you buy the watch will determine what type of manufacturer warranty coverage you have.

Although it says scratch-resistent face, I doubt it's sapphire crystal face. Those watches start at roughly $500 and up.

Costco carries a couple low-end Movado watches these days as well.

The Museum dial is a (pun intended) timeless design, but its style is not for everyone.

Bought nearly the same watch, only gold tone from them last year. I think the price at that time was about $115. Very nice watch.

Movado Museum is the ultimate minimalist watch. After all, the function of the watch is to tell time. This watch does the job.

Movado makes a few number of different model Museum watch. The original Museum is all black with a crystal dot and golden hands. The cover is crystal. There are leather band or metal band. The watch is one of the thinnest Swiss watch that you can find. This particular model is the low end version of the Movdao watch. Vs the original Museum watch, this one is thicker, the gold dot is metal with gold plate, the face may not be crystal which means it is not that scratch resistent. I have the original one. It was very reliable. Keep time accurately.

The original black museum retails for six hundreds up but generally discounted to about four hundred range. This gold plated museum watch can be bought for about 180-220 range if you look around.

If I have a choice, I would buy the Citizen version of the black museum watch with this amount of money. The upper scale clone by Citizen (I forgot the name of the brand, but made by Citizen) is very close to the origional museum watch in quality, with a scratch resistent crystal. You can buy this particular one for $175-$220. My original Movado was lost when the leather band gave away after years of abuse. I am planning to get the Citizen one. I like the shinning surface of the crystal face, and the simplicity of the all black construction. This citizen watch is as thin as the original.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I wouldn't suggest buying a watch just because it was once expensive, and now it's marked down to a little less expensive. I have a 100+ dollar Swiss Army watch, a $50 fossil watch, and an $8 digital walmart watch. The $8 walmart watch is great because its:
1)Cheap
2)Digital
3)Has many functions(light, stopwatch, alarm)
4)Actually looks decent, it has a seatbelt material type band.
5)If I break it, I am out $8 dollars

I have had people ask me if the wal-mart watch is an expensive watch with a computer interface on it(I'm in the IT field). All of my watches keep time very accurately. You could probably pick up a watch that looks almost identical to this and will function the same way for around $50 bucks. Just thought I'd share my thoughts.



<< So, is this hot or not?? >>

In my opinion, it is warm. Not hot. Movado decided to go public about three years ago. It turned out that they are making a lot of high end watches that nobody buys. Deep discount for Movado watches is a given unless you go to the mall jewelers or fifth avenue.

Movado watches are jewelry, plain and simple. If you only need a good
reliable, decent looking watch, you'd be a fool to check out Mavodo.
Any watch these days is reliable, and for $30-50 (or less) you can
get one that looks nice, has a scratch resistant crystal, etc. For
even less you can get a utilitarian digital face watch that keeps
time just as well and has more features...

If the idea of paying a few hundred dollars for jewelry in the
shape of a watch does not appeal to you, then there is no reason
to consider Movado. Yes, some Movado watches are very thin...but
you can find watches that are almost as thin for hundreds less.

I bought a Movado for my wife last year. I got a "great" deal on it,
and it still set me back several hundred bucks. Was it a good deal
as a watch? Not a chance! But my wife wanted it, and I justified
it as jewelry. Note that Movado makes a full line of watches, and the
low end watches are NOTHING special--basically no better as
either watch or as jewelry than the $39.95 specials you find everywhere
this time of year except they say "Movado" (which will appeal to
the status conscious--though anyone who really cares about such
stuff will also know enough to pick out a cheap Movado as a wannabe).
You need to get to the middle of the line (not the watch
in question in this thread) before you get to the Movado watches
that are actually more nicely constructed and thinner. They are still
WAY WAY WAY overpriced for what they are, but at least what they
are is distinctive.

I agree with Kwad. I have 2 Movados, both costing around $1100. I bought them because I liked the way they looked and since I consider them jewelry, not watches. It's the only jewelry I wear so I justified the cost, at least in my own mind.

Oh, I see where you guys are coming from... To each his own! I guess I bought the swiss-army watch for Jewelry and also functionality, since the watches are indestructable. I'm sure that whenever I get married, it's going to be tough buying a band of metal with a stone on it that costs more than a nice functional computer!

Well personally I would say that this is not a "great deal"

As someone else has already said your talking about a low end Stainless Steel Movado Watch with a mineral Crystal Glass.

If you really like the look and the name brand "Movado" then this might be a good deal for you...

However I do not hold Movado as being a brand that produces quality products in relation to the price.

One Flaw that the Museum watch has is that you have to be extra certain that if you go to replace the battery that you do so with one that is exactly the same height, if not the face can bend and the black paint will peel (Something that other Movado owners have complained about after having their watches serviced by the local jeweler).

Not to mention that the back of the watch is a press fitting and it does not have a screw down crown, which menas no swimming with that watch on

Personally I would recommend either an upper end Seiko as they are quite nice, or as someone else recommended, a Swiss Army, and there is even ESQ, which is a devision of Movado but their watches are a little sportier when compaired to Movado's more Dress appeal.

If you want a Higher end Swiss Watch, there are a few other "better" alternatives to Movado, Least IMHO....

There is:

Sector - Not as known as Movado, however can be had for the same money if not cheaper
Oris - On par if not a little more than movado, however much higher Quality
Reymond Weil - Generally Lesser prices than Movado and equal quality
Seiko - as mentioned before, great quality and affordable See invicta for where made
Invicta - Dirt cheap and really nice watches, japanese made not swiss though
Swiss Army - here you have a few choices, there are two companies really, wenger and vixtronix, personally I perfer vixtronix but they are both nice
Tag Heuer- A little more than Movado, but much more sturdy. All models have Screw Down Crown and are very solid...more of a name brand but highly durable watches
Omega - On average much more than Movado, but truly a wonderful watch for the money, finely crafted swiss timepiece that can usually be had at a good discount if you know where to call or live near a costco


There are other brands out there but anything else I can think of either most have never heard of or they are priced over $2k USD.

Remember though whenever buying a watch from a Non Authorised dealer, you are giving up the factory warranty (usually 1 year) and there is a good chance that the serial number on the watch has been removed, which would make it so most factory service centers will no longer service the watch (Omega and Tag are Notorious for this).

There are a few great grey market dealers out there but you have to do your homework before you buy. Feel free to PM me or email me at mjancsics@hotmail.com if you have any questions or are serious about buying a high end timepiece.

Also that Rolex deal is quite shady....love it how there is no model type or even reference number...dont think I would spend that kind of money with such limited information.

It is easy spending the money CJ when you know she wants it CJ and it will bring a smile to her face....

Heck the watch I just bought My sweetie for her birthday was worth more than my computer, and the ring that I want to get her is worth 8 of my computers, and she is worth every penny!!!

<< Invicta - Dirt cheap and really nice watches, japanese made not swiss though >>



Invicta is the little known super hot deal in watches. They
specialize in sort-of knock-offs...but not crap knock-offs like
the "psst...gotta deal" guys on the streets of NYC sell. REALLY
good quality 99%-there knockoffs...They work very well,
the components are
top notch, and they have a lot of really good styles. They don't just
look good, they FEEL good and perform well and last. They sell
some great diver watches, some nice titanium watches, lots of
motion-winders (no battery), etc. I have a bunch of Invicta watches,
and I have been very happy with them. Find some Invicta watches
cheap (note to wise: list price means nothing for watches) and you
will be talking about a HOT DEAL.

I think you're referring to Noblia.

Good watch, but the style isn't quite as classy as Movado (even though it's definitely a copycat in style).
