Description:
This ultra-sleek Men's Museum dial watch is the essence of simplicity and style. It features a perfectly round black Museum dial with slender silver-tone hands and a single concave dot at the twelve o'clock position. This is the minimalist look made famous for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended his design to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The black dial is housed in an ultra-thin stainless steel case measuring 31mm wide and framed by a steel bezel with slightly elongated lugs. It presents on a sleek black calfskin strap that tapers slightly toward the ends and fastens with a stainless steel buckle closure. This watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming. p strongAbout Movado/strongbr Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.Get more product details from Amazon

I've owned my Movado Moderno watch for decades. It is incredibly thin - its a shame that thinness isn't a data point listed in the product description. My watch has stood up to daily wearing and still works great.

This watch looks great.. it isn't 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 doesn't cost more, it gets a lot of compliments. The band is leather, so it isn't as durable as some other bands would be.
Just what you would expect, but a little smaller

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

br /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 3'rd to last notch.

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, it's basically unbeatable.
br /
br /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 doesn't scratch very easily, so there's always a clean, scratch free face that you don't have to worry about.
br /
br /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.

Size does matter when it comes to a man's watch. This is a very nice watch and I would have kept it if it weren't for the fact that the face of the watch was a lot smaller than I had hoped.

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

br /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.

I bought the Moderno because although I like the design of the Museum, it's a little bit old-looking now. It's 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.

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.

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.

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 doesn't hurt that Movado makes a watch that is both beautiful and understated (nice for guys who enjoy watches but don't want something that looks like jewelry). All together, I am very happy with this item.

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 it's a good looking watch. I agree that the face is smaller than you would expect by the pictures, but it's a nice looking watch. Feels expensive.

I've had this watch for a little over 3 weeks now...
br /
br /The best features I love:
br /
br /- Thin. It's not a hugh honking piece of metal like most watches out there. If you're a thin, sleek man, or you dress that way, then this is probably the watch for you. I can't see beefier guys wearing this watch. It would look out of place with their physique.
br /
br /- Stylish. I've gotten about 4 comments on my watch so far. Everyone recognizes the Movado look. It helps to boost my ego.
br /
br /- Easy to read. Yes. It's not that hard to read. You just need to think a little more about where the hour hand is, but it's 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.
br /
br /Some things I don't like:
br /
br /- Smudges. The face takes up fingerprints like the front of an iPhone. Can't keep it clean. erg.
br /
br /- Strap wear. I'm dubious if the strap will be able to handle a year of daily wearing. We'll see.
br /
br /Other things:
br /
br /- Not as small as you think. Yes it's not a large faced men's watch, but it is most defintiely larger than a large woman's watch. Like I said before, it's sleek, so buy that if that's your look.

br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.

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 it's great. I was slightly surprised that it is quite so small - I would be happy wearing it (though I am not tiny!) but my 6'4" pal said it would get lost on his wrist! Came nicely presented.

As a female, I purchased the men's Movado instead of the ladies because I like larger cases on my watches. The ladies was too small in my opinion. At the time I decided to order one, I checked different sites and Amazon had the lowest price, so why not order from Amazon. In addition, I trust Amazon completely. I am very satisfied with Amazon and my purchase.

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. It's 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.
