What watch do you wear?

Moeks · 12 Sep 2015 at 13:09

I think they look ok for $100, apparently they use Miyota quartz movements, straps look ok, their bracelets look cheap but then they would at the price they are selling for. It's a fashion watch that's all about the dial design really, if you like them, go for it.

I think Seiko or Orient would give you a better watch for the money, but they don't make anything that looks like these are far as I am aware.

Has anyone had an experience with MVMT watches? I've noticed they were highly regarded in recent reviews in FHM, The Independent and a few other mens mags. I'm often sceptical when something sounds too good to be true?

Theres 1 or 2 on there that I quite like and thinking of ordering

Load of oversized, poorly made chinese crap.

No doubt entirely PR firm driven content.

Haha I'm no brand snob, but they really are a load of junk. Fossil are the best at cheap fashion watches, I've got a couple and they're well made and not preposterously sized.

Those of you that have used Iconic Watches have you just paid the deposit and then paid the rest when stock has arrived?

The Movie The Internship 2013 with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson

I had to laugh when I saw this thread. The other day I watched the movie "The Internship" (2013) with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in which they play two salespersons who were used to sell watches but lost their jobs because no-one would use watches anymore but mobile phones. This depiction in the movie is of course a bit exaggerated. I suppose watches will even become popular again soon - not conventional watches but smart watches.

I don't think the honeymoon period will ever end with my SMPc

I've worn it for 10 days straight and to my amazement its only lost 2 seconds. Totally amazed by how accurate it is! It's the most accurate in my watchbox by far.

And the Scorpion Fish which I said I would post a while back;

I like it too. Had no idea what it's worth so did a quick Google search which suggests ~£4k :eek:

Closed the link pretty quickly

Only watch I bought was 'in the shop' so I just paypaled the money... But I'm nearly ready to pull the trigger on the Speedmaster I'm eyeing next, so I might go and pay the deposit..

I got my non broken one today and I'm very pleased with it. Cheers for replying to my email, I ended up going into a boutique after work and they resized it for me FOC, but I'll get the right tool for it anyway as it might get a bit tight during the summer. It's ridiculously comfortable and I can't stop staring at it.

No problem, glad you finally got a non broken one and you're happy with it! It's extremely comfortable on the wrist isn't it? Definitely the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn, hardly notice it's there.

How many links did they remove for you?

I like the idea of the screws but they do make the resizing process a longer affair.. so, so fiddly. They are the smallest screws I've ever encountered.

Really nice, but I think you need a Planet Ocean - the larger size would suit your wrist

Indeed; 4 years on for me and still find myself gazing at the face in appreciation regularly...
