Movado Series 800 Unveiled
A Movado sport watch? With a wavy fact and big arrow hour hand? Perhaps someone is seeing their market share drop?
I don’t like Movado much – so much depends on that single big dot that you almost lose the watch – but this sports model, apparently a quartz piece, has some chops. It comes on a rubber or steel band and costs about $1,000.
Best of all, NFL MVP Tom Brady is flogging the thing and saying stuff like:
“Movado is all about style and precision and that fits exactly what I try to bring both on and off the field, so I hope it’s a long term association,” the New England Patriot said. “A professional athlete’s life is highly scheduled. I practically need military discipline to keep pace, so time is definitely something I’m interested in.”
Deep.

I recently purchased the series 800 quartz chrono without the pointed facehands. It is on page 4 on the series800.com website (second row 1st watch). I love it and payed 1050 for it. It is my favorite watch and wonder if anyone else chose this model. My last watch was a Noblia which was Citizens top of the line.
I just bought a 800 serise all black got it for about 1080 before taxes.
I received the Chrono Series 800 white dial for Xmas and have been very happy with it. I am very picky when it comes to watches and this watch is everything I could have imagined in a sports watch. I will not be diving with this watch, so its all good.
Bought the 800 and it looks great. Although, the rubber backing has fallen off four times in a year and a half – real bummer – so I’ve only worn the watch about 66% of the time because it has been sent in for work. I hear Movado is coming out with a new metal backing – gonna try that one. We’ll see… Again, tight looking watch.
Sorry, but NO watch is worth a grand, even especially this plain jane of a watch. Something you might look at five times a day and will be scratched up within a year…
I bought the rubber-banded 800 series in the Bahamas store for about $750. I love this watch. There are plenty of steel-banded watches out there that look great, and I have enough of them. I wanted a classy, black-banded watch with a large face, that wasn’t some cheap-o Fossil or Kenneth Cole or something similar. This watch is awesome, and I take pride in wearing it every day. Seven-fifty was a small price to pay for this great and unique timepiece!
Oh wow I just love that watch, my fiance has been eye balling the Mavalo brand but for the price I am just not so sure. Oh well maybe for christmas.
But then again maybe a knock off would not be such a bad idea because a whole grand for one watch, unless I am rich and living well, which I am not, I doubt I can afford that!
But yes, fossil is a cheap watch but they have pretty good quality if I do say so my self. I mean of course it is not worthy of a celebrity wrist but who cares, I’m talking about the general public.
Hmm, but then again Pat has a point there. Kenneth Cole is not a long lasting brand and neither is fossil but I still think even $750 is way out of my league.
I usually like Movado but $1000 for this watch seems quite expensive.

Get a life!!
MOVADO has been around for awhile and is a fine swiss watch. I have low end up through high end Piaget watches and the series 800 is a terrific looking timepiece that makes a statement.
received 800 for 75th birthday very disapointed black numbers wearing off after one year case badly scratched movado refuses to repair without billing also have 6 other movados with out any problems
Received beautiful watch as a gift, less than 1 yr old. Watch runs great – band is awful. Looks like it has been through a war – and it hasn’t! Movado refuses to do anything except let me purchase a new band – not even discounted! Words can not express my disappointment! And when anyone asks about my watch, which they do because the face is pretty, I will tell them to purchase anything but a Movado! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I have a collection of highend watches, and the 800 is the only one I wear to work (firefighter/paramedic), dinner, and dates. The others are for special occasions. The 800 is a bullet-proof tiger. This thing has been beat on and still looks and runs great. Shop around, you can easily find one for around $500 or less.

I was looking for a rugged watch that I don’t have to worry about sweating in, pool time or salt water. To me this watch is all about it looks and it’s performance. In a market filled with too many bulky/heavy watches this one has a great bold, clean look with just the right proportions. It’s an attractive watch that does everything well (easy to read , 200 meters WR, comfortable wearer, easily adjustable strap, attractive ).
I guess something I have to mention is that I read from some of the postings that is watch retails around $1,000.00 but I was able to get one on sale for $600.00. Worth $600 but there a lot more competition at around $1,000.

My Movado 800 chrono with the steel bracelet has me very disappointed. The bracelet has come apart on 2 separate occasions and fallen to the floor. The band comes apart 2 links from the timepiece (not broken, just came apart with no warning) The first time was a month after I bought it and Movado had the watch for 7 weeks for repair (apparently they replaced the band and the case)! In the first 3 months of ownership, Movado had the watch longer than I did! Now 4 months later, it happened again! If these watches are so good, why is the repair time over 6 weeks? Shouldn’t they be like the Maytag repair guys, just waiting for something to do until the next rare breakage occurs? Apparently not! I took great care of my Movado 800 series and the band comes apart. Unlike my 10 year old $200 Citizen Ecodrive watch which has been abused, and the band has NEVER come apart! Its never even been in for service! Movado should call Citizen for some pointers. I’m not used to walking around with a $1000 wrist watch worrying if its going to fall off me. If they don’t get it right I will NEVER buy Movado Again!
I was able to buy the basic 800 series (black face, thermoplastic band) for $299 ($329 – $30 watch coupon) at BJ’s last week. I know that’s not a great place to buy a watch but I couldn’t pass up the price.
Amazing how many people are consumed by brand and image over function. Outside of glow-in-the-dark hands (which fades quickly), can you even read the time in the dark? I prefer function.
I just recieved this watch its a nice weight and look. I saw it at Fortunoff when buying my wife a watch but was 1600.00 short. And I had to deal with Italian Drama from my wife, thank god now ex. I put a bid on ebay for 350 dollars and walla. I like it very much.
