Classic Men's 45 MM Analog Black Tan Watch with Leather Strap

Quality Movement - Worth the Money on Style Points Alone
So far, I really like this watch. I was searching for a watch that was not so cheesily as a Timex, that had some style but was not pretentious, and that would dress up or down. Now, your own definition of what dresses up will obviously come into play here, but this is a stylish watch. I think it's a bit more stylish than the website photo. In reality, it looks less plastic. (Is, in fact, stainless steel.) Size does matter, and it's a large (wide) watch. I'm big, and it's still wide, which is, of course, in style currently.Case dimensions are not consistent among watch descriptions, so I'll tell you this one is right at 1-3/4 inches across the metal cast, side to side, not counting the stem. It looks a bit small in the photo, because the strap is about 15/16 inch wide. While I'm on the strap, it's smooth suede leather, the color shown. (They offer a variety of other bands, but this is the classiest.) I am big, and it's long enough, which really means it's not like so many on which the buckle half is so short that the buckle lies more or less on the side of your wrist. It's on the bottom of my wrist. Not squarely, but in an okay and comfortable place. Now, if your wrists are sausage fat, no common band is going to work for you, but the maker was generous enough for almost everyone. I expect that like all suede, it will be subject to oils and other stains. But then, it's not really a plumber's or mechanic's working watch.There's been some discussion of how easy it is to read. I find it doesn't present a problem. The hands and dial are not luminous, but the face is black and the main hands and marks matte metallic. The black face appears matte, so even in poor light, there is sufficient difference from the hands to make it readable. I looked this morning before dawn in the car with my hand below the window in very dim light and could easily find an angle at which the hands stood out enough from the face. I like the red second hand. Aside from style, it keeps it from being mistaken for the minute hand at a glance in dim light. The day of the month digits are simple and clear and are visible through the window from any reasonable angle. The second hand is not sweep. It "ticks" once per second. There are no minute marks, just the five minute marks, but the face is so large that it's clear which minute is current.It is a simple movement. No stop watch. Pull out the stem to set. The date can be rapidly advanced by passing 12:00, rolling back to before 10:00 and up to 12:00 again, which advances one day. No need to go around and around. The watch arrives with a tiny red plastic shim holding the stem out, so the battery isn't consumed in the warehouse.The back is marked for 3 atmospheres, which is the lowest water resistance rating, other than none at all. By industry standard, that means you can wash your hands and get it splashed, get caught in the rain, and other inconsequential water exposures, but should not shower, swim, dive, or wear it for other activities like fishing where it will be immersed. (3 atmospheres equates to 30 meters or 100 feet, but that is merely a part of the industry standard testing procedure and does not imply it can be safely submerged.) I doubt this leather would be too happy about getting soaked much.MVMT was crowdfunded on the mission of creating fashionable minimalist designs that could be worn in a variety of environments. They are essentially a fashion company, and the watch is an expression of that philosophy. But they did not just stuff a Chinese no-name movement into their fashion case. The movement is by Miyota and is one used in a multitude of watches. Miyota is a Citizen Watch Company brand, and their movements are used in about one quarter of all watches worldwide. Their batteries are mercury-free as per EU directive. They are supposed to be as long-lasting as mercury batteries, but I personally seem to see more complaints about all watch batteries since the switch from mercury.This is my spontaneous review, no freebees, etc. I feel, though, like I'm doing an ad for this watch. I want to hold up my wrist, look into the camera, and say, "This is my watch. Join the MoVeMenT." Hey. It's really a nice watch. It's worth the hundred bucks for style alone, and as I said, it's a decent movement and quality band.

Bought for grandson’s 21st birthday. He loved it. He was impressed with the watch and. He has quite a collection of watches but none have a super soft leather band like this new one. Very pleased with it.

great looking lightweight watch at a great price
The watch is extremely sleek and very attractive on the wrist. It is lightweight which is another great bonus.

Nice looking but it feels light, which in turn, feels cheap to me. 7/10.
It's certainly a nice looking watch. Everyone says the size of the face is nice, I'm a big guy so I would prefer it slightly larger. Maybe it is because I am used to watches from Nordstroms in the $300-$400 range but this watch is much lighter than I would have imagined. Can be a good or bad thing depending on what your looking for. But for me, in terms of watches, I usually think weight is synonymous with quality. The watch being manufactured in China and feeling light makes me think "cheap."I would prefer if it was slightly larger and weighed a bit more. I do not think it will be as durable as my other watches and will certainly look nice as a watch for a specific outfit. Not sure if it meets my standards as an everyday watch.Like I said, its a nice looking watch. For $100 its an okay deal. Not a great deal. Should be more around $60-$70.EDIT: Threading is starting to come undone slightly (I cut off the loose threading and it does not look as bad). I'm not entirely surprised as I've worn it almost everyday and have taken it in a pool on multiple occasions.EDIT2: MVMT reached out and provided me with another strap. Great move on their part. Thanks.

Really good quality surprisingly.
I absolutely love this watch. It is a sharp looking watch and I have owned it for almost 6 months now and it has not shown any signs of giving up. The watch feels a bit light as compared to more pricey watches, however for the price this is more of an accessory and not a commitment to my watch collection. I love the look for the summer time and it is almost always on my wrist.

No good watch
this watch looks great on the picture with good shape and color match with bend.But when I received it,I disappointed.It looked like cheap.but I decided to keep because of the whole color combination is good.Over a month later, one day I found it lost 20 min.than my cellphone time even though it looked like working in normal.I adjusted the time,but same problem happened.I could not wear this watch as I felt really uncomfortable because I could not believe the time on this watch.I requested exchange or repair.but no answer.This means there is no warranty.I disappointed much on Amazon and the seller.

Loved the product. Item is as described by the seller. As for sizing, I am 5'6" with a below average wrist in diameter and the watch fit snuggly in the fourth notch on the strap. It was well-packaged and neat. It comes with a case that is zipped for perfect storing. Overall, looks great and feels great and is perfect for clumsy people like me who wears this to look fresh for the bars/clubs and usually place my hand down on tables which otherwise would scratch the metallic strap therefore making the leather strap superb.

Looks good, but isn't made very well.
This thing looks so good. Super soft leather and a nice black face. But the problem is quality, but the watch doesn't feel too cheap to me as other people have said. But The problem is with the movement the second hand moves around a lot and the minute hand rock back-and-forth, depending on how your wrist moves. I don't think I would buy another watch from mvmt again. They look great but for the same price you can get a solid Nixon. Also the minuet hand is dirty on my watch. Problems with quality control. But it looks nice. Mine also seams to always be off a few minuets, I'm adjusting it is very few weeks.
