What do you guys think of this watch? For under $900 It seems like a nice beater. I can live with it being quartz and I really like the racing strap and the dial. I'm not a Movado fan but I really like this piece.

Looks good, well balanced design ,clean easy to read dial with nice numerals and lettering. Nothing at all to dislike. Might be tempted myself. |

Like the strap. Not sure I like the way the baton indices are split (assuming polished separated from lumed?) and the round marker at 12 ? Rest of dial is fine, like same color sub-dials! |

i have nothing bad to say about the looks of thie piece. the dial and the strap make it look super sporty (which im sure is what you want) but why spend so much money on a beater? if it were me i would save the 9 bills and put it towards something else. i never quite understood the idea of spending more than a hundred bucks on a beater. but then again im pretty cheap |

Its really up to you, for a beater watch you cant go wrong maybe even switch the strap over to a rubber one (thats what i have) It feels heavy and movado has great customer service as well. |

Good looking overall. I dont like the sub dials so close to each other. Its the main reason I hate the 50th anniversary (or whatever it was) Navi. $900 for watch aint too bad, but for a quartz movado, its a fortune. |

900 bucks for a beater is a bit steep IMO. it looks good but also too generic looking. |
