What a great deal for $350! Let’s take a look at the great value you’re getting for your money:
Cheap quartz movement, not even Swiss made (cant see it on the dial or caseback, could be wrong).
Mineral crystal which scratches but can’t be buffed out like acrylic
ion playing which will scratch to reveal the base metal
43.5mm width and what seems to be a 14mm thickness on a ‘diver’ with only 100m water resistance.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you’re better off just buying a disposable Seiko/orient auto, a Seiko diving quartz (tuna, Arnie), or the smartest move of a gshock.
Even if this came with a Ronda movement it’s still overpriced. You can get a Swiss auto diver from Certina, Tissot, pretty much any Swatch group for about the cost of 2 of these or less, depending on whether you go grey or pre-owned.
WatchyoutalkingaboutGreat points, my Certina DS diver is an unbelievable bargain, 300m water resistant and solid enough to last 2 lifetimes. The Mido Ocean Star is another, maybe not as robust, but elegant, thin for a 200m diver and good-looking from every angle, not to mention the regular Glycine Combat-Sub drops for close to the $350 asking price of this Movado. I don't know if Movado makes even 1 watch I'd consider spending my money on.
