How is this the truth? So much of his criticism is subjective. He harps on the NAME of the company and one of the watches names too, he also harps on the TRENDINESS. None of those things makes a brand objectively suck. It's not the "truth" and honestly it just comes off as elitist. Most people don't give a shit about watches. They just want something that, in their opinion, looks good and works. I don't see the issue with that. Not saying there's nothing to criticize, they're lower quality and overpriced but 90% of this video isn't focused on that. There's very little "exposing" them here, it's an opinion piece. Also, I just went and looked at their site. Explain how does it look like a press kit? It looks like every other clothing store I've been on. IMO this dude is really reaching for criticism and just feeding a circle jerk among watch enthusiasts. Don't let your community be like this, it's just going to push people who want to get into watches away.
Yuri Tereshyn I agree that it’s nice of these guys to support RU-vidrs, no argument there. It’s likely a personal thing but generally I only feel good about myself if I’m pushing a product that’s legitimately decent. Maybe my tune would change if I was trying to make a living on RU-vid and grasping at all avenues of income here, but since that is definitely not the case, my thought process is different. Gratuitous marketing of the same product across every channel can get a little annoying so I just skip through for now. That aside, thanks for the 2019 RDX review. Picked up the advanced model for my wife’s grad present and it’s fantastic. 👌
Their watches are cheap and minimalistic, exactly what I look for because I don't see the point in spending hundreds of pounds on a watch because at the end of the day it just tells the time. I love minimalist design, and their watches capture that, so I genuinely think they look cool and for the price, i'm more than happy to buy them. That's just my personal opinion, I know a lot of watch enthusiasts will get annoyed at this comment but again, it's an opinion.
Leon Pearce No... no it’s not. Apply that logic to anything else. So clothes, for example. Are cheap clothes and insult to those who have been making high quality clothes for centuries? No, it’s a cheaper alternative for people who either aren’t bothered about the quality, or simply can’t afford expensive clothes. Is someone on minimum wage supposed to go an buy a Rolex, or an Omega? Obviously not. People I’ve to live by their means, and trying to live beyond your means usually ends badly. Just think about it from the consumers perspective, and not a watch collector/fanatic’s perspective.
@@SteBradburyDesign I don't think most watch enthusiasts would hate on MVMT & co. as much as they do now if they'd sell their watches for say 30-50$ instead of 130-150$. I have nothing against cheap minimalist quartz watches and I understand that a mechanical watch is not the right thing for everyone. What bugs me is that they pretend to be a high quality, luxury manufacturer while producing their watches for minimal cost. It's that artifical sense of prestige that lets them sell these watches for a lot more than they are worth. This is not limited to watches.. You see more and more companies that sell cheap products (nothing wrong with that) for a really high price (thats whats wrong) because they pretend like their products are of great quality
JankyChris Yeah I totally understand it from that perspective too, and I agree, they do present themselves as a high-end product, which I do think they should be allowed to do, however, they should be a bit more transparent imo. I perfect example is Supreme. They literally sold a brick with the Supreme logo and they sold out instantly... I guess a lot of people like to buy things simply for the name. But yeah, I agree with your statement, they do present themselves as something they’re not which I guess is a bit dishonest, but it also seems to be normal practice in sales, not that it makes it right. Thanks for thinking about it rather than just bashing me for defending MVMT in some regards, not enough thinkers on here haha
They tell you it's a $500 watch that they can offer for only $130 because they "cut out the middle man". Yet you can buy them (unbranded) off aliexpress, made in the exact same manufacturing plant, for $3.50. It's insulting, but the worst part is that marketing strategy worked flawlessly. Sign of the times...
I love this kinda channel where some nerd goes on a rant about some shit I never knew I cared about but now I do. Keep up the good work you watch geek.
Chase Høpkins Same. This literally showed up in my feed and I have never shown intrest in watches at all. I respect the guy for having a niche hobby and channel following though, more power to him.
I have been offered a cooperation from a Chinese producer that gave me reference numbers of watches from some of these brands (I won't name them) that sell for $150-300 and their price for me on the basis of 1.000 watches was $15. I can only imagine how much it would cost if you ordered in the magnitude they sell?!
What I think the absolute worst about MVMT is, is that they’re not even original designs. Most of their watches are the generic Chinese watches you can put your logo on and have mass produced. For example, if you go on something like Aliexpress you can find that exact ‘chronograph’ without their logo on it for around $5. And I feel that is just not acceptable, especially at the price point they’re selling these at. For the same money you can get fantastic original designs from an actual watchmaking brand, with a proper movement that will last you forever if you take care of them.
AutomotiveRomance it’s a pretty common practice to import products from China and sell them in western markets at much higher prices. Let’s say they spend $5 on each watch, maybe another $5 on fancy packaging. Then a majority of the cost goes into marketing. They spend a ton on marketing, they’re like Beats of the watch world. You’re paying the $150 because they spent so much money to sell that watch to you. But Amazon is full of Chinese products that you could get for a fraction of the price if you bought direct. People don’t realize or don’t care, so they pay. I bet most people buying a MVMT watch assume that it’s designed and manufactured by this brand that seemed to come out of nowhere.
J : Sure, I know how it works and I totally agree with you. Their marketing strategy just rubs me the wrong way, though I must admit they’re great at marketing. The sheer volume of watches they move is a testament to that. But if I have to see one more automotive youtuber peddling these inferior wastes of money as ‘affordable luxury’, I think I’m gonna be sick.
I mean I cant really hate MVMT because they got me into watches and watch collecting. Now I never wear my MVMT watch but I still have it in my collection to remind me of my first watch. Shortly after i bought the MVMT i started to watch videos about watches on youtube and found The Time Teller instantly when he only had 5-10 000 subscribers. Now I am really into watches and wear my Skx007 almost everyday so I kinda have to thank MVMT for that.
MVMT is the brand that got me to start wearing watches. Although I admit I do not know much about the watch, I felt that the styles that they provide looks clean and easily to suit your outfits. So I guess, a watch is more of a fashion-able accessory than a timeless piece for me
EveryMan I've gotten nothing but complements about my MVMT watch and it's been running happy for a year now. I wouldn't have bought any other watch at this price point.
It's funny, when I was on the market for my first proper watch I did only a small amount of research and already started hearing about the poor quality mvmt watches. They try to get you with the looks but they don't do their job.
I actually visited the MVMT site as one of my favourite RU-vidr's was pushing them. Very disapointed with what I found, cheap and tacky products at hugely inflated prices. Thanks for confirmimg my initial thoughts about the company!
MVMT , Movado, ....etc are smart watch makers they realize that people who buy watches are 2 types :either true watch enthusiasts who look for true value and automatic movement etc. These are the minority. The other group if watch buyers simply want something that tells time and trendy looking for a gift or self use . This is the land sliding majority they have very shallow knowledge about how to properly evaluate watches. For a business model (I. E going for $$$) These fashion watch companies are doing the right thing.
Hello, “5 reasons i hate mvmt watches =/= exposing mvmt”. I don’t really care if you like their style or not (I came from recommended). However, investigating their quality is worthwhile, whished you’d gone deeper into that. Perhaps Opening one up to check quality, and providing alternatives further than just quick namedrops. Also all the complex terminology ( loom, complication and even movement) is not explained, seemingly making this a video geared towards watch (timepiece) fanatics, who are already quite unlikely to disagree with you. So I feel like this video has a bit of an identity crisis, and an unclear audience. Cheers mate, cool omega and yeah clear frames are pretty cool
This should be the highest rated comment. I agree with you wholeheartedly. As a layperson in the watch game I’d love for a watch geek destroy a pretentious brand, but why not educate us too, you know? And help us actually find a better use for our money rather than preaching on and on to the watch geeks choir about a company that obviously prioritizes trend over functionality.
@@maulanna Watches, like jewelry, are a very subjective and personal thing. Buy and wear whatever you like personally. I've seen people wear $200.00 plastic Gucci brand sunglasses that are the exact thing as mass-produced plastic sunglasses that cost $3.00 without the Gucci label. It's their choice though, and I guess they were happy with it. There are hundreds of good watch brands out there, all you have to do is pick one that doesn't prioritize trend over functionality. MVMT would not even exist without having artistic pictures of young and hot bodies wearing them. Just find a watch brand that doesn't just thrive because of "selfies", and see if they make a watch that you'd want to wear every day and can afford. Eezy peezy pumpkin squeezy :^)
Yeah, I saw all the RU-vidrs shilling this back when I was first getting interested in watches. I pulled up the site and promptly closed it again when I saw the prices. They advertise them as being sooooo cheap yet for what you're getting they really aren't.
‘’Some of you may not now this but those expensive watches you’ve always wanted only cost a fraction of the price to make’’. This was one of their ads. Right away I knew this product was junk. Thanks for your review showing me that I was right
The dislikes on this vid seen rather high for an opinion piece on fashionable but low quality watches. Myself, I wear cheap watches. $20-$40 max. I just like a reliable quick way to keep time, and I tend to abuse them. I was planning on eventually getting a higher end watch solely so I could have something fancy for special occasions. And honestly I was probably going to get a MVMT just because of all the adds I've seen saying how nice they are. I thought there was no way they could be bad watches with all the hype they get. But I would rather pay for quality than pay for a brand. Thanks for setting me straight.
I'll be honest with you, if you can afford a nice watch and only if you really care about watches buy a nicer one. I normally wear a Tag Heuer, and it just feels nicer than any budget style watch. If it's just there to look okay and tell the time 150$ isn't bad. But I personally would prefer something with weight and life to it. And three years? My watch is older than I am, if you buy a decent watch your kids won't have to.
I disliked the video because he's specifically stated he's "Exposing" them when he isn't at all. He's just starting the obvious. Everyone knows mvmt is a cheaper fashion watch. It's just a pointlessly made video to get views, which myself and everyone else fell for. He's pushing his"brand" as much as mvmt is in it.
There's nothing wrong with buying a cheap watch if you just want something that tells you a good approximation of the time, particularly if you know that you abuse watches and/or want it as a fashion accessory. I have a $3 watch in my collection just for looks, and a couple of cheap Timex quartz watches I can wear as a daily beater when I don't want to have a few hundred dollars of watch on my wrist. (My collection isn't *super* expensive yet, but there are some watches that are a bit nicer than the rest.) Nice watches are *nice*. It's pleasant to have something of real quality on your wrist, and some of my nicer watches (and even one or two of the cheap ones) have sapphire glass, which is actually made of sapphire (aka "transparent aluminum") and can only be scratched by a sapphire or a diamond, so I can wear them and not fear the glass getting scratched up.
T3 is swiftly sounding like a hater. MVMNT, Invicta, Movado, he loves to shit on all these brands.I know he means well, but it seems to be trendy for some watch enthusiasts to put down watches that aren't in their narrow definition of what is good, and look down on people who choose to wear them. I actually share a similar taste with T3, more particularly, his love of Seiko. I own a PADI Turtle, an Alpinist, and a Cocktail time and his opinions on 2 of those watches are spot on. However, I think he's getting carried away with all the negativity lately. Like it or not, cheaper brands are a gateway to the hobby for many. And since we all love this hobby, let's share it and help it grow. Let's not put down and alienate the newcomers. Let's be positive and talk about why Seiko and other more established brands are better. Wear what you like. At the end of the day, it's a watch and it's all subjective. We all have different reasons for liking them.
"narrow definition of what is good" Sorry, but it isn't a "narrow" definition, those watches are just plain shit "Cheap watches are a good entry point" Again, sorry, but there's nothing cheap about them; I could get 3-4 similar quality Casio watches for the price that one MVMT watch sells for
I actually have a mvmt watch. It was the first watch I ever bought and It's what got me into watches in general. I don't wear it anymore for obvious reasons but there is a fair bet I wouldn't have ever bought my alpinist if I hadn't first bought that mvmt.
Similar to me but with my Invicta Pro Diver Mickey Mouse. But I still use it, takes me back when I was un shock by knowing there exist the automatic watches
I understand why people are complaining but i hope they are able to see that this is exactly how business works. I am currently working in a manufacturing company that supplies chips to Apple, Samsung mostly and looking at the Bill of Materials, lets just say both their phones cost around usd 100-200 per piece at manufacturing price. The only thing we pay is for the brand. Other expenses goes to marketing, taxes shipping etc
Bought a Certina watch 11 years ago, besides some marks from wear and tear and a couple of battery changes and pressure tests it still works as good as the day i bought it.
$400?? Mvmt watches are like $100... All watch brands are essentially the same. They markup the price like 1000% because they make them look classy and they can. I'm sure a $20,000 Rolex probably costs like $300 to make, a $1000 Movado probably costs $50 to make, etc... Mvmt is just shifting the goalpost to: $100 watch, $10 to make.
The "trendy" comment is exactly why I love MVMT watches. I don't need a watch to tell time (who does these days?). I want something that looks good and goes with my professional attire and doesn't cost thousands of dollars for an antiquated item, the intended purpose of which has effectively been replaced by a cell phone. Their watches look good and, in a pinch, will tell time closely enough for most of our purposes, which is what an accessory is designed to do.
This I will say. This brand is what introduced my son into watches. He has since sold his 2 MVMT and wears a Seiko 009 and a Vostock Amphibia as daily pieces.
I bought a gunmetal chrono after the movado buy out and I love my watch. The quality and craftsmanship is unmatched. I got rid of all my invicta , seiko, and a Rolex and replaced them all with an army of MVMT watches and that was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Hey Jorey, nice video! I'm not sure if you remember, but a few months ago you responded to one of my comments dissuading me from buying a movado watch. It was a short response from you, but I'm glad to tell you that I did NOT buy it (thank god). I have matured (lol) and I actually now own 2 watches. They are the SARB017 and the SARB033. Thanks man!
I hate to say it but I have a MVMT, I use it pretty much every day. It’s just a fine watch, I’m just starting to really get into watches and I committed the deadly sin of getting a mvmt about 2 years ago, before I even knew watches had dials and gears instead of batteries (and I used to think quartz was what the face was made of.) If I need to just get up and go, I’ll get my mvmt. If I’m dressing up, I’ll get my Orient Bambino or my Grayton. Those are all my watches as of now so I don’t have much choice anyways.
I like my mvmt desert as a daily working watch. It’s stylish, somewhat conservative, durable and really compliments the look of an army uniform. I get complimented on it all the time, even the battalion csm said I have good taste.
Seiko makes the best watches. They are really affordable as well. Love mine. It's like 2 decades old with a rubber strap and it still functions really well.
I think Eco drive is pretty much unbeatable in terms of convenience, the affordability and Atomic timekeeping (radio sync) reinforce that even further for people who need daily's and travel a lot.
As someone who owns a mvmt watch, I can say that these watches are not for you. They are for people who don't know a lot about watches and just want one that looks nice that doesn't cost a million dollars. I don't care what movement is in my watch. It tells me the time and looks nice. Honestly, a watch is only an accessory. I have a phone that tells me what time it is. The watch could literally be broken and serve the same purpose. Mvmt has great customer support (I broke mine, sent it in, and got a new one absolutely free) and they know how to market themselves. I say all of this knowing that it won't convince a single one of you that mvmt is a good brand, because you're very passionate about watches and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm in plenty of communities where I passionately debate the quality of stuff, but watches just aren't something I care that much about. That's who mvmt is for. People who want a nice looking thing on their wrist that doesn't break the bank. "But there are better and cheaper brands that do just that!" you might be thinking. Well, like I said, I don't know about watches, but I know about mvmt. They capitalized on this market in a way no one else has and the product, for my money, is... fine. No complaints from me.
Fair enough on the concerns. I got mine, the chronograph you were referencing, for free - we visited their office for a meeting. I agree that they're cheaply-made watches, but I have gotten a TON of compliments on it, way more than any other watch I've worn. I'd agree with your assessment that they are basically fashion accessories, but that's not always necessarily a bad thing.
I think you’re on point with your thoughts on them selling the brand to influencers, but I had another thought when I saw it; it reeks of trying to sell the company to me. Like, actually sell the corporation off. It’s the classic Silicon Valley Startup model, executed as lazily as possible: create a bare-minimum product, build a flashy website and hip branding, market the hell out of it, brag about how successful the business is, and then sell to some bigger corporation for a bunch of money. It’ll probably work for them too, it’s just unfortunate that millions of customers will suffer because they were sweet-talked into buying a watch from a cockroach instead of a watchmaker.
Think that ANYTHING that is being shilled, like these watches, should be gone over with alot of scrutiny by people who are experts in the field. Im glad you made this video. this makes it easier for youtubers to know if the product they are pushing is a good buy for their followers.
Ironically, you're right. One of the hosts of a channel I subscribe to IS sponsored by MVMT. Funny though, because he wears a Rolax GMT and drives a Ferrari.
Agree with you 100%. Another thing that bothers me is that they push the fact that they make great watches for the average person. These are junk watches that are WAY overpriced for what you get.
Gotten 3 in the last few years and LOVE them all... have had no problems and they still look gorgeous... one for myself, one for my son and one for my husband...
I'm with you!! I was dumb enough to be fooled by the minimal look of the watch. One was gifted to me by my wife and within two weeks it started to loose time. Then the hands stopped completely. P.O.S.!!!
Good rant but I think you could of mentioned Timex cause I'm a Timex fan they are my favorite go to affordable watch that have good history behind them
Exactly. I think the Timex Fairfield has a similar look to a MVMT or Daniel Wellington but is exponentially cheaper. If one wants a 40mm watch the Bambino destroys it at around $100-150. For $200 the Timex Marlin is king to me.
Same, I love Timex, early Bulova and Hamilton However I don’t like to separate brands between affordable and “high end” (aka overpriced and uber expensive 90% of the time) I like brands that have heritage and are old, brands that have interesting history and make good products. What I have is brands that try to promote their name through advertisement Vulcain, Universal geneve, Glycine, Heuer, pre-american Invicta, Jaeger...
More expensive movements have much better time accuracy and durability, some of them are hand assembled by experienced workers in Switzerland, etc. Obviously that means the components are more expensive and labour is much more expensive.
Michael Breilein chinese will 3D scan it and clone it within minutes and fwala... no sweat on the “hand engraved” “hand polished” method, they just cnc everything and assemble it like a puzzle... oh btw to replicate the material is almost no problem for them they just pour a chemical liquid to the original and they knew the content... except for the carbon ceramic, or carbon fiber mold it takes really high tech most chinese companies don’t have
Feraldo Rozanandy China will never get to the standards of Swiss Mechanical Watches. Hell, cheap mechanical movements aren’t even made in China, they’re made in Japan by Seiko called Five Jewels. China only really make cheap quartz watches and the Japanese make cheap mechanical watches. Swiss movements will always rule the watch world. No need to shit on a hobby that you don’t understand completely, that’s tunnel vision at its finest. Why don’t you buy cheap $30 Chinese made Guitars that are clones of expensive Guitars? chinese will 3D scan it and clone it within minutes and fwala... no sweat on the “hand engraved” “hand polished” method, they just cnc everything and assemble it like a puzzle... oh btw to replicate the material is almost no problem for them they just pour a chemical liquid to the original and they knew the content... except for the carbon ceramic, or carbon fiber mold it takes really high tech most chinese companies don’t have
This sounds like a Rolls Royce driver complaining that some people buy and drive Toyota Camry's. "My precious eyes are forced to look upon other people with a inferior product!" - Get over it dude. Different prices for different budgets.
The Rolls comparison would probably be better if he wasn't wearing an old ass Seamaster. (for reference, I work in pawnbroking, I deal with more Seamasters in a week than I'm comfortable with, expecially considering all of them cost more than my current car.) Maybe a more apt comparison of an old Jaguar?
It’s all about the branding. MVMT fans care more about supporting a brand they connect with than buying the highest quality watch possible. In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with that! I own a Tag & a MVMT and I dig them both.
I saw a few ads for MVMT a few months ago and I went to their website. The ads all talked about how "luxurious without a high price" but I was baffled by how plane and drab their watches were, and for the prices you could get much nicer looking watches. Not to mention I never buy watches that aren't waterproofed.
A month after this was posted, Movado, who you rightly compared them to, acquired bowel MVMT for $100-$200m, the range apparently depends on performance. Unlike most watch manufacturer web sites, there is little to no data about the actual watch, and without any info, it is correct to assume the cheapest materials possible were used to create the watch for maximum profit. There are a lot of clothing makers who make fancy looking watches, you can get them very cheap at Macy's I've seen, and rather than $150 range, they're less than $30. Or just try Aliexpress for no branding and lower prices.
I remember when I was younger it was Fossil that everyone bought for 100.00 because they looked nice for era. Fossil is probably a lot better than mvmt though.
I'm not a watch guy. My specialty is knives, shoes, and firearms. That said, I saw in some random catalogue a Stauer Graves 33 back in '08 and I fell in love with the design, the look, and ultimately purchased one. That was my introduction to watches. I still wear it, I still love it, et cetera. I've never had any issues with it. That said, I purchased an MVMT not too long ago based solely on appearance and O haven't had any problems with it, aside from that it's size bruised my wrist for a second before I adjusted it. Nothing about the watch feels flimsy in the slightest. It has remained accurate for as long as I've worn it. It's aesthetically pleasing. Would I wear it to work? No, but I don't work in a fancy office where everything is clean and I get to pretend I know what's best for the working class because my desk lamp and trashcan are voice activated. Everything I use gets the hell beat out of it. Is this a watch for those conditions? Probably not, but I'm not about to put it to the test. Does it look fantastic and can I dress it up or down based on occasion? Yes. Will I pass it down? I don't know and I don't care. For the time being, it serves me well, it's accurate, it looks good, it's relatively versatile, and I enjoy it. Every industry has its pretensions, especially the knife industry which flip-flops like the Roman Senate. I don't think the opinions of "established" collectors should determine whether or not you purchase a product. Should you hear what they have to say? Sure. Should you listen? That's up to you and you should never feel like your purchase of choice is anything less than you originally believed it to be based on someone else's opinion. If you like it, buy it. If it turns out to be something you don't like, it can be sold. For example, in the knife industry, a lot of people would tell you the Buck 110, for all of its simplicity and materials, isn't worth your money. The reality is Buck has been producing that knife for decades and it's a flawless design. It has gotten the job done for perhaps millions of buyers that adore it, but because the blade isn't S90V steel and it can't be disassembled, modern critics would tell you it's outdated and isn't worth your roughly $55. I've had a Buck for a decade and I've never had to sharpen it despite years of use. I feel like the modern market is filled with people telling how and what you should buy, but very few people telling you how YOU SPECIFICALLY should buy. Why? Because that's impossible. If it calls to you, buy it. If it doesn't, but someone on RU-vid told you it's fantastic so you bought it anyway, you will never be satisfied. Does that mean you should listen to mindless endorsements? Absolutely not. But be an individual in your spending choices and learn what works for you. I like my Mvmt, and I couldn't give two ounces of the slightest shit if the most well established watch critic in the whole of the known cosmos said it was garbage. I like it. It does what I need it to do.
No one here truly understands what MVMT was. MVMT started as a dropshipping company, if you don’t know what that is then look it up because that’s a whole other topic. Anyway MVMT started by basically buying watches off of AliExpress which is a Chinese wholesale company and they white labeled them. White labeling is basically putting you brand name on something that already exists, so MVMT wasn’t even making the watches they were literally buying them for probably 5 dollars, slapping there brand on them and jacking up the price. MVMT was doing so well movado actually bought them out for 100 million, and now the people who were selling Chinese watches are rolling in the dough and will never have to work another day in their life.
Many people get into watches by starting to purchase and collect fashion watches like MVMT. Each to there own. I think hate is a really strong word for a watch brand. I don’t like them because they are not very functional and look really cheaply made. They are a rip off, but so are lots of fashion items.
I use my phone. Always. Swapped when my phone finally had a flashlight function. So that is basically a digital watch, PC/computer device, GPU, map and a ton more so long i remember to charge it at night which i always do. Probably just fine using a regular watch, but i got metric-tons of 144p videos to listen trough at 1.5 speed while going places.
A few weeks ago a kid came up to my watch store and asked me what I think of MVMT. I gave him my honest opinion and ended it by saying something about how its a terrible overpriced watch that is marketed very well. The kid sadly said he just bought one and left. I felt terrible, he was like 12
MVMT makes probably one of the worst watches in the industry but somehow they have gone from zero to $70 million in annual sales in 5 years and have managed to sell the company for $100 million to Movado.
Just my two cents, for a person like me who doesn't know much about watches. A watch is nothing but just an accessory to add the cool factor to my look, or if it's an apple watch, then it's a tool. The watch you're wearing to me, it looks ugly, it could be the best watch in the world who knows (except for the 0.001%), but if it doesn't look good to the regular person, then I don't know. If it were a Rolex or something of that sort, then it's an entirely different thing. But for a $100 if it looks good to me and if it works, then it works. Also, I do get where you are coming from, you want something on your wrist that always reminds you of your worth.
obviously you missed the point...but it's like buying an armani exchange tee for 100 bucks because it looks good but it warps or tears after 4 wears...
@@mariog7213 I'm in no way in favor of such watches. What I meant was if it looks cool, from a well-reputed brand and works well. I'd get that. For me, aesthetics is the main priority everything comes after. Sure, I'll buy something that checks all the required boxes especially aesthetics and quality.
My Instant Search I know...that was clear but the point of the video is that in the watch community we buy watches for the quality and history of the brand which are much less shallow reasons than looks
Hey Jory I bought a MVMT Voyager a year ago and set it with my phone,it's gained six seconds in a years,let's see Seiko or even a high end quartz watch touch that! Only watch I can think of that kills them all in accuracy is the Citizen caliber 0100,1 second a year,I have and would buy a Citizen before a Seiko or even a over rated, over price Rolex. I was shocked that my MVMT only gained 6 seconds,it's a keeper!
First time watching your videos....no pun intended 😎I like it. I don’t know why so many people gave you a thumbs down....seems to me you know what your talking about. Keep being you and doing what your doing. Don’t let those downvotes discourage you
As an avid lover of horology, I’m glad to see this video has been made. I feel bad for those who buy watches like MVMT, Michael Kors, Fossil, etc with the mindset that they bought a high quality product. Given the amount of comments from people who aren’t caught up or, in other words just not horology people, no offense to anybody, it’s nice to see some people out there trying to educate the masses of people who would otherwise waste their money on cheap chinese crap simply due to a lack of understanding of what they’re spending their money on, or the lack of knowledge of the incredible, truly significant and quality alternatives available to them. Keep it up brother! Love the Seamaster as well! Been looking at a 1964 Seamaster 30 in YG recently!
I was highly considering getting one of mvmts watchs but then this video popped up in my recommended and completely changed my mind thank for expressing your thoughts and saving me money
I have 3 MVMT watches and I love them. They fit my style and I've never had any problem with them. They're not marked for you since you're advertising a $500 watch in your description
I bought a gorgeous and really sexy Seiko 5 a month ago and I confirm what you said...I am soo much happy with it and even today when I wear it to ofc I just keep admiring my seiko...keep looking at it and lot of times forget that I actually here to work...
