FINALLY someone that speaks the truth. The youtubers I watch drive me NUTS when they push this garbage.
The Weekend Driver be happy that these companies support the youtubers you watch 🤷🏼♂️
Yuri Tereshyn I love you guys but it doesn’t change my stance on shit peddling. More than happy to see you guys push a decent product.
The Weekend Driver but they’re supporting youtubers. To me that’s one of the coolest things a company can do.
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 UA-camrs, 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 UA-cam 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. 👌
I made a better movement this morning.
Frederick Calabrese Lol...dude, best comment Ive seen yet!!!
GOLD!
BM> MVMT
XD XD XD XD XD XD
Frederick Calabrese lol
The owners of this company laugh at their customers (suckers) as they admire the Rolex watches on their wrists.
Nah. If you make watches like MVMT. They probably wear Hublot
i guess mvmt is a pretty big waste of time
Aye! 😂
Noah Lightfoot 😂
Such a man, even his mic has a beard
wesmatron
Why ha ha react isn't allowed on youtube!
lol
In another video he replied to someone saying his mic looked like chest hair with, “what mic?” 😂
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...
Thats what i keep hearing, but i cant actually find them.
If i can find them i would get them from Alibaba!
Any help?
Actually THEY are the middle man lol
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.
🤓👌
Love it too
Check out TheF1word, I didn’t know I liked F1 before him
I know nothing about watches, not sure how I ended up here but glad I did
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.
Thanks, guys!
Welcome to the watch world
Well if you ever decide to buy a watch one day.......Don’t ever buy these! Just get a nice g shock or a nice seiko very reliable watches.
I'm happy with my Seiko 5! I almost fell into the MVMT trap a few years ago!
Nothing wrong with a MVMT watch. It was my first expensive watch, and got me into watch collecting. I also got many complements while wearing it.
Good for you we all have different taste glade you got into hobby!
Don't buy that haha. It wont last long haha
Same with me. Hust a week ago. I got a seiko 5 as well.
80's Nostalgia Guy saying nothing wrong paying over $80 for a $3 generic watch is abject stupidity.
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.
Wish I saw this video sooner before I spent $140 🤦🏻♂️
Go buy yourself a Seiko or a Tissot
Still look good man rock it
"I hate trends unless it's a trend I like, like these glasses" lol
Casey Cole ....True....Lol....
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?!
Watch Geek 1000 watches for $15? Wtf? $1500 is more believeable.
Farhat Bamadhaj read again, the price of a single watch on basis of getting 1000 of them is $15
Watch Geek can't you just say MOQ. LMAO. Per basis. Yeah $15 usd. That's expensive. You can get cheaper if you have good relationship with factory.
Farhat Bamadhaj I figured that wasn't too great of a price 😁, but it still shows just how much these brands make on these watches charging $100+
Let me guess...GearBest? They contact me EVERY month...lol.
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.
If you want to investigate their quality, go to aliexpress, find the exact same watch without their logo for 1 to 5 bucks.
@@kevinranders People are not buying a fken watch bro. They're buying an Identity, a LIFESTYLE that MVMT projects. Watch has NOTHING to do with it
@@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 :^)
@@hughesbunburying8856 True. Nothing says "I buy what I'm told and don't give a shit about quality or cost!" more than MVMT.
Glad Ive been doing "UA-cam research" before buying a MVMT.
Hell, a $140USD Casio would kill their stuff.
My $20 casio forester beats every mvmt watch!
I don't know what you're talking about...heck I don't even like wearing watches.
I'M STILL GETTING MY PITCHFORK!
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.
The dislikes on this vid seen rather high for an opinion piece on fashionable but low quality watches. Myself, I wear cheap watches. $20-$40 max. I just like a reliable quick way to keep time, and I tend to abuse them. I was planning on eventually getting a higher end watch solely so I could have something fancy for special occasions. And honestly I was probably going to get a MVMT just because of all the adds I've seen saying how nice they are. I thought there was no way they could be bad watches with all the hype they get. But I would rather pay for quality than pay for a brand. Thanks for setting me straight.
Got my MVMT chrono for 3 years now. Still works like a charm. Had to replace my leather strap once
I'll be honest with you, if you can afford a nice watch and only if you really care about watches buy a nicer one. I normally wear a Tag Heuer, and it just feels nicer than any budget style watch. If it's just there to look okay and tell the time 150$ 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.
Well if you want to spend a little more and want something that will last you a long time then get a Seiko.
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.
I don’t wear a watch any ways.
This should be good.
Yes no one in Minnesota wears watches 😏
Mmm do you like the watch on the hand or no yoshikage?
MVMT is the epitome of incredible quality, horology and style. Great value for money too......NOTTTTTTTTT!
Ben SHUT UP AND JOIN THE MOVEMENT
lmfao
Val_MSU_121 Great comment! ...NOT!
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.
I am glad I discovered watch channels, I think I have dodged a few bullets, after learning more about watches and horology.
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.
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.
Ste Bradbury Design it's an insult to centuries of horology artists.
Leon Pearce that's a gross exaggeration. It's a damn watch, calm yourself
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
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.
Exactly
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.
I’ve been hating these watches since day 1. You’re just now realizing this? 😂🤦🏻♂️
The Time Teller The point clearly went over your head
The Guardian they’re shitty at best
"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
The Time Teller eliteist hipster "there's nothing trendy about this old watch, *it's just cool* " aka essential hipster criteria
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.
thanks man. I was considering getting a watch from these guys
GREAT fucking video... Very good observation on the influencer marketing...
Thanks, Fed! It seems to be really working out for them... it just sucks to see dudes that clearly know better plugging these products.
Love your chat videos. Federico, you need to buy yourself a seiko Tuna asap. Be warned, you might sell of all your swiss watches.
Indeed. It's a shame there are so few real watch companies that are this good at marketing. Really, only one that I can think of.
These crap brands are Pure Concentrated Evil. And Fed, you really need to change your name to "Fred" cause "Fed" always fucks me up...lol.
This makes perfect sense.
Here's an idea for a video...."MVMT or Invicta, which do you hate the most?".
Oh yeah. Almost forgot about them.
Mvmt is worse
What about Movado?
They used to be good way back when, but now, not so much.
Tag is on same level
So if you like the simple look of the mvmnt watch do you have an alternative watch of good quality?
Here ya go: 5 Alternatives To MVMT Watches! UNDER $300! ua-cam.com/video/CUcJT0WI3mU/v-deo.html
I actually visited the MVMT site as one of my favourite UA-camr'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!
You are very welcome!
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!
Haha, great choices!!
That chronograph... reminds me of the “wish” knock off watches that say the chronograph doesn’t actually work...
Yeah, I saw all the UA-camrs 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.
Cloude for real I'm satisfied with my casio lol
Same I went and looked and could not find any watch that looked decent for under $150 ....
I’m a a amateur to the watch game. I bought a movado sport, are they decent?
for 400 bucks MVMT is going to give you a minamalist cheapo watch for 400 you could get a manual wind field khaki from Hamilton
Phyrexian GHXST you can get a shitload of fine watches for 400 bucks.
$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.
Lummerbummer115 - SHHHH! You're ruining the circle jerk.
Don't be a watch snob.
Buy what you can afford.
Wear what you like.
Enjoy the hobby.
nah mvmt is trash tho
I was just thinking... Except for your trendy clear frame glasses... And then you said it. Lol
Always loved channels that appeal to a niche audience based on a specific set of skills and talents. Thank you for sharing
Means a lot! Thank you!
The Time Teller been watching a few more videos. You actually have me wanting to buy a decent watch and helping identify bad ones
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
They're fashionable? Lmao
傻逼，品味真差。
Spending $200 to "look trendy" is a bad investment anyway since trends change so much.
If it were $19.99 at Walmart, it would be a great beginner watch for my 14 year old nephew.
If it were $19.99 at Walmart, we wouldn't have to be having constant discussions about the fact that it's not living up to the hype.
Buy himself a Timex
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.
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.
never heard of them. I'll stay with my casio
Was about to buy a MVMT watch, you’ve changed my mind! Good video, thanks!
Hey one thing I have been wondering and noone seems to be discussing, is whether you can tell the time with MVMT watches while in the dark. Do they have any models with backlights or luminescent hands?
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.
They do get people into watches, Some of our favorite brands need to do this better.
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
Glad I was recommended this video
I was intending to buy a MVMT watch. After watching this vid, it made me rethink and look for more reviews before making my choice.
So are they good for the price range?
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.
Valen Greymoon is it TMF
Hoovies garage?
Good call.
Someone already guessed right. :)
Exactly why I unsubscribed from his channel.
I have no idea what is being said in half of this vid but I really enjoyed it
😂 thank you.
Im thinking about getting one but I guarantee their not better than citizen. Most of all my old watches were citizen but I was just tryna go with a more slicker look I mean they do look kinda slick. But mainly citizens are just too plain looking but very durable and they are solar powered which is cool. So should I get this watch considering my desire for a slick look or no?
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.
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.
On the wrist I wear a Rolex..
That's awesome. Fashion brands do a lot of things wrong, but they are great at getting new people into watches.
David Piçarra good for you
David Piçarra Who cares?
On the wrist same for me. My dad bought me a Nixon 2 years ago and that got me in to watches and now I have an orient bambino.
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.
Recommend any good watch brands I could buy from for around $100?
Timex or Casio
what watch are you wearing on this video? thanks
In this price range CITIZEN is also a realy good choice!!!
Hell yes!
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.
I would buy some old 90-00`s used premium watch for 150 bucks
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
Thanks, Neal!!
Although I do not plan on purchasing a MVMT watch I was looking around on the Orient website and their watches are 250-500 dollars a piece, not in the same price range of MVMT. I understand they are higher quality but what are good options for the same price. I have heard about companies like the 5th and Vincero, what are your thoughts?
does the date set on the Mvmt watch have to be manual?
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.
There is a difference between cheap and value. MVMT is cheap. Timex, Seiko, Tissot and even Casio. That is value
Should I buy a Patek Philippe grand complication or an MVMT? :)
is it windy in your studio?
"They made the watch for $4 and sell it at $130"
Am I missing something here? Isn't all watches like that?
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.
theres no real reason to make them in switzerland though. Do you have some accuracy tests on the movement watches?
Anton Helsgaun, it’s pretty damn hard to recreate a perfect 60 seconds 60 minutes 24 hours consistently in a mechanical mechanism.
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
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.
Shawn Bra they are good cheap watches and this vid is about bad cheap watches. Love Cassio for a good cheap watch.
Shawn Bra the guy likes mechanical watches.. does timex make mechanical watches?
Mircea Costin
Yes, the Timex Marlin reissue is mechanical. I like mechanical and Quartz so long as the design and value are good.
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...
‘’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
Sub'd. I see my Facebook feed polluted with MVMT adds and eveb as a newbie to the watch game I could tell they weren't all that. You're doing God's work, my dude!
Jory for a rant like that you need to be with the stripper pole!!
This was more of a list vid- no pole:/
Friday=Pole!
I would like to see you get some of the mvmt watches and open them up
Do they tell time accurately?
Ayyy! The Dangerous Book for Boys. Classic :)
Dang you know your watches haha. Would have went over my head if I didn’t watch this video :D
Just trying to save people some money!!
What the hell is a watch?
He looks just like you..hahaha
LOVE that vintage Omega, man! Sharp!
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.!!!
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.
It’s because they look good and they’re cheap
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
What do you think of swatch ?
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!
Hi, I’m a rep from MVMT-we will buy you a yacht and all the clear-framed glasses you want for a positive review. Also, please remove this video. Thx!
austin cramer lol
Remove.... Really?
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.
They are. You can argue whether or not they're overpriced, but it's a halfway decent watch and usable at that.
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 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...
In a life or death choice, if you had to pick one...... mvmt or invicta?
I think I'd go with Invicta. At LEAST Invicta offers a pro diver with an automatic movement and 200M water resistance. That is their only saving grace if we can even call it that
Death
FINALLY, someone said it, its way overpriced
just spotted the mvmt chronograph in the asda bargain bucket for a tenner , thanks time teller
Aight, you had me at "they suck" 😂
I was expecting something like "they're fraud" or "they're not 2 broke college students"
but turn out it just a video about "my watch is better than their cheap watch"
Their watches are overpriced cheap crap that they're pushing as good quality. For the same prices there's SO MUCH BETTER out there, something *actually* good.
@@adamcollins3382 still better than the ugly ass watch he's wearing in this video
@@wesleywamsley443 Definitely not.
@@haydencamp2736 wow this is old. I meant by looks. Not in quality, obviously
@@wesleywamsley443 Alright
Mvmt watches are just overpriced for the way they are build. I could spend $100+ on a Seiko with an automatic movement or under $40 or less for a watch from amazon with similar style
I was interested in their watches because of influencer... influencing... And as someone who doesn't know anything about watches, it worked. I was really into the design because I loved the minimalistic look of it. I got it as a XMas gift and I loved how it looked. Over a year and a half it started skipping if I hit it hard against something, but I reseated the battery and it seemed to fix it. And over the past 6 months I've seemed to lose it lmao. But that's my story with MVMT
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.
Casio for life 🤘🏻
Yup. Sporting my Casio g shock neo Tokyo beauty. In Japan movement I trust.
Their MVMT model Bowel only comes in brown on their website.
DAVE Francis There’s a limited edition that comes in green.
Are the metal straps also trash??
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
