Need to end an argument with the GF.. Which watch brand is better... Seiko or Movado?

[notfred]

I fall into the camp of "Why wear a watch when you're carrying a cell phone with a clock on it?"

My watch is a Motorola.

 

[computeerrgghh]

Since the metal bands tend to pull on my arm hair, I voted Mcfish sandwich. But on a serious not, Seiko.

movado wastes a lot of money on celebs it seems.

seiko has some neat higher end stuff

mechanical watches require no batteries

They do heavily recommend servicing every 5 years, which often costs ~$100 on mediocre watches. Who knows for like a rolex how much.

Mechanical is really not worth it to most people.

I knew nothing about watches until a few weeks ago when my GF wanted to buy me some early Christmas gifts that I could pick out myself. I'd say that Seiko and Movado are about equal in terms of quality. They just cater to different tastes. The Seiko you could wear for anything. A Movado is for someone who has a good desk job or wants something when dressed up and going out. I went with this Wittnauer watch though. It's a nice new style that makes most Movado's look outdated.

Oh yeah, I also got a new Samsumg 930B 19" LCD monitor with DVI cable from her that same day.

It is no contest.

Movado >>> Seiko.

Mavado is on the same level as Omega, while Seiko is on the same level as citizen.

you sound like a badge snob

He also sounds like a moron.

Movado. I don't like Seiko based on an experience......

If you prove her wrong, which you won't, what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing. Just let her win and go on enjoying your sex life (assuming of course that you have one).

WINNAR!!!!!!

Thanks, I try to help whenever I can.
