I'm with Broco, don't like the lack of hour markers.

I feel the same way. Back when I wore a Movado almost daily, it didn't bother me. Then I switched to a numbered watch, and would occasionally wear the Movado; it drove me nuts.

The watch now keeps excellent time...

Just out of curiosity, is it a museum dial, or one with markings? With a museum dial, I'm trying imagine how far off it would have to be for you to notice.


It is a museum dial, so it is hard to tell down to the minute / second, I just know that it is within a minute or two of my other watches. To own a watch without markers you need to be prepared to approximate the time. Before I had it looked at, it would be way off, like several minutes to hours.

Wow, that's pretty off...I guess you'd notice it if it was hours off. Although, sometimes I would forget to adjust my Movados for daylight savings time, and it took me a while to notice. As you say, without markers, the best you can do is approximate the time. The more I think about it, the more I really don't want to go back to that...not that I was seriously considering it anyway.

It also comes in few different colors which brings out some character.

That's the Movado Bold line. I haven't seen them in person, but I admit the pictures are eye catching at first. After looking at them for more than a minute, though, it seems to me they could become dated pretty quickly.
