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.

WatchyoutalkingaboutIndeed, if memory serves me correctly the Seiko SARB065 cocktail time was around this price on Massdrop too
