I've had them for several years and they're going strong. I hate having to change batteries. Why suffer if I don't have to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1717513 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:24:46 +0000 Glory 1717513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a movado which is lovely but gets little love in terms of wear because like Anna's it needs a new battery. For the past year I have been wearing an Eco Citizen watch which I love - mostly because it never ever needs a new battery. I have several beautiful watches but they always seem to be out of battery life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716316 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 05:31:17 +0000 binkle 1716316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing that the salesperson was trying to convey to you that the watch has a "quality" movement, instead of cheaper, mass-produced, no-name parts. Movado is a well-known name, though I've always thought their big selling point was their design look, i.e exterior appearance, supplemented by Swiss mechanics (like Rachylou said). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716254 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 00:02:31 +0000 Diana 1716254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 20 year old movado just recently gave out. Watch guy said it was fixable but I haven't done it yet or gotten a quote because I actually have a second movado that is very similar but a nicer model (both are museum watches). I wear it the most out of all my watches. </p> <p>I agree with anna, Swiss and Japanese movements are best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716252 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 23:56:57 +0000 annagybe 1716252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swiss mechanisms are considered the best.<br /> Japanese next.<br /> Shinola is doing an interesting thing in Detroit with Swiss training &amp; techniques, but made in Detroit. I've been very happy my Shinola. Salesperson at Nordstrom said it was better than a Burberry which has a Swiss mechanism.<br /> My Dad had a watch he bought in Europe that turned out to have a French mechanism. A woman who replaced the battery she said it was very good quality.<br /> I have a Movado that I like a lot. Just need to replace the battery. Same woman who worked on my Dad's watch, said my watch was good because she had the same one.<br /> Personally I find Chinese mechanisms crap. I was very disappointed in a Michele watch from Nordstrom, especially given the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716218 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:33:44 +0000 Alexandra 1716218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, good question. I'd like to know the answer too. My everyday watch is a Bulova and I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716174 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 20:03:48 +0000 rachylou 1716174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Movado is famous for its Museum Watch design and Swiss watch-engineering heritage. But now, it wasn't Movado that made it into the book, Quintessence </p> <p>*Double checking now for architect relatives who would be scandalised by my 'attack'*...hehe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716172 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 19:54:06 +0000 Eliza 1716172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how each of the watches is made. Movado does have a distinctive style. I have had good luck with both Movado and Citizen, though I don't know it that helps with your question. Someone here will know though. I would imagine that when Furla or Coach (or any other company that is not primarily focused on time keeping),&nbsp;does watches, they may be likely to use other companies' mechanisms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-separates-movado-from-other-watches#post-1716143 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 18:24:56 +0000 gradfashionista 1716143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Years ago, when I went watch shopping at Coach, the salesperson told me that the mechanism of the watch that I was examining was made by Movado. I hadn't heard of them at the time, but I'm wondering what separates a Movado watch from, say, a Coach watch or a Citizen watch. Aren't all the mechanisms the same?&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
