Calling this heap "garbage" is an insult to garbage.

[@BerdnikovMedia]

Back in university I bought a MVMT when they first came out, I bought it not knowing anything about watches, I threw it out after a year. A few years ago I wanted an affordable and professional watch. I bought a Timex, absolutely amazing watch for the price point.

[@1517the_year]

Yeah I get that the goal is a super minimalist watch but this is too much. It is so cheap looking! Anyone could make that dial. Minimalism is an art.

Just stumbled across you and love the In depth that you seem to go in the review. I have small wrists so that’s awesome hearing you measure lugs and strap. If you happen to take requests could you have a look at LIV watches if you haven’t. I have a couple and they’re amazing for the price they are.

I usually proofread, what I meant to say was Movado has been doing that minimalist look for decades with their museum watches.

[@brucewayne5342]

@@samadrid6321 Yeah, but i wasnt talking about minimalist watches per se. I like them in principle, nothing wrong with a nice Junghans or Glashütte. But a monstrum of this size just leads the principle of minimalism ad absurdum, since minimalist watches were originally made for much smaller dials to improve readability. Also, the largest Movado Museum is 40mm, which is around 5mm smaller than this thing and still looks weird in that size imho.

[@ripjones5294]

While I agree completely with your assessment about MVMT, also remember that their marketing engine convinced Movado (why, I do not know), to write them a purchase check for $100M. Pretty amazing. Have got to give the guys props for that feat.

[@Hexsyn]

I appreciate the low-key multitool and knife appearances

[@Why_It]

I'm happy you actually bought the watch instead of taking a sponsor sample where they could have given you a more polished version. This shows a more accurate version of what an average consumer would get.

[@Duragung]

Why the MVMT logo look like the button I mash on an elevator at 3am in my apartment complex so the demons don't ride the elevator with me?

[@Zion-18]

Before I got into watches, someone gave me a MVMT. I knew nothing about the hobby and could tell from the first moment I picked it up that it should've been a $5 watch at most.

[@Psyrecx]

So, that watch has less water resistance than my smartwatch... That's... special.

the box looks like a cheap pack of cigarettes that you got 2 for 1 back in the 80s.

[@SkyTheKoala]

This makes perfect sense. It feels like Movements as a brand is targeted at the "influencer" market. They like the "retro" fad, and the watch being as big as it is, its a nice "flex". I dont think a majority of that market will take the time to appreciate the watch most collectors do, so these flaws will go unnoticed for the most part.

[@user-iw2mo7yu4d]

That dust on the dial is literally unacceptable, and this watch just looks cheap! $100? Hell no! After seeing this video I started to think DW is actually not that bad😂, I mean at least it doesn't look cheap, right?

[@user-iw2mo7yu4d]

@@rickastley885 "Probably" ? I'll never judge something without knowing what it's all about. Not saying they are great but DW as a company definitely earn my respect. They're good company but do they make good enough product? We don't know.

[@rickastley885]

我的興趣是觀察 they're not a good company though. They do the exact same thing as MVMT; buying cheap, pre-made watches from Chinese factories for probably about $5-10 USD, slapping their brand name on them and then selling them for ridiculous, offensive prices. That is not by any means an admirable business practice.

[@user-iw2mo7yu4d]

@@rickastley885 They use pre-made watch? Didn't know that before, please tell me more🤔

我的興趣是觀察 you can find watches from the same factory on AliExpress for ~$15. You can even get them with the DW logo on them, so if you want one just get one from there and save the rest of the money.

[@hermitgreenn]

MVMT is like the Beats of watches. They market to people who've never seen or worn a good watch in their life.

[@remytv]

I always thought these cheap watches were sold under the guide of semi-luxury and "fresh / cool / hip" brands. It's crazy that they are more overpriced than actual quality products.

[@watchandjewelryloft4713]

As someone who repairs watches for a living, I appreciate videos like this. I said exactly what you said early on. They're a marketing company first, and a watch company last. Hilarious. My favorite part is when a fanboy seriously asks me what I think of his new watch. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I remember when Michael Kors watches were a must have. I sold a guy a really nice ladies Eco-Drive for his wife for Christmas. $300. All solid stainless. Rose tone and steel. Mother of pearl dial. He left. She came back to the store with him after Christmas.....and I QUOTE..."If I had known you were going to spend $300, I would've told you to get me a Michael Kors." Of course we had a discussion about Citizen vs Eco Drive, but honestly she already had the idea in her mind that Michael Kors was basically a luxury watch and the Eco-Drive was pure garbage. I'm so glad I'm not in retail anymore and just repair watches from home. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@watchandjewelryloft4713]

Holy crap. I'm back after finishing all of the video. Wow. The crap under the crystal. And I guessed the movement before you opened it lol. 😂🤣 I buy a VJ32 from parts vendors for like $8. How much per movement do you think a watch manufacturer pays for them? 🤣😂 This is a $15 watch you'd see on the clearance table at TJMaxx and you still wouldn't buy it.

[@Patan77xD]

I bought my MVMT watch in 2015, by the look of this video it seams like they have gotten cheaper and worse quality control, my one did not / still doesn't have any dust below the glass, also no tooling marks on the metal, the strap was genuine leather and back then you also got a storage case for the watch, and back then I could not find another watch at in price range that matched that esthetics. But yeah I would not buy one today.

[@gabeshimmin6624]

I’m the same way. I actually got mine in 2018 and it’s honestly nice. It’s not this exact one. Mine was gold with a brown leather band. It really does look like they’ve decreased in quality even in just 3 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hit you up and get you another one. With the defects on the box and getting it from Amazon, it wouldn't surprise me if you got a knock off. They can shrink wrap stuff.
