What a great watch! I received this as a Christmas gift and have worn it daily since. Movado watches are usually very classy, so it is no surprise that the Juro's simplistic design is both elegant, fitting in perfectly with a job situation, and practical: the watch dresses down easily when you pair it with "dressy" casual wear (think "Banana Republic dress shirt, untucked, worn over jeans") for going out. It keeps accurate time and is both thin and lightweight (for those of you who don't like watches that weigh 5 lbs). This watch looks far better in person than what the picture shows, and looks even better on your wrist!

This is a fantastic price on Amazon - most places sell for almost twice that much, and free shipping can't be beat. No sales tax is an added bonus, and the additional 5-year warranty is just cream on top. (Note: read updates from June 21, 2009 - this is no longer the case)

Update August 23, 2008: I still have this watch, and I still wear it everywhere. I've moved to Sweden since my review and this watch still gets looks everywhere I go. A lot of men like watches with fancy dials and knobs, and don't get me wrong, I'd probably pick one up too if I could afford a $3000 Tag Heuer or Omega watch... but then my watch would look like everyone else's. Sometimes simplicity is all you need, and in a country known for its clean lines and modernity, this watch works perfectly.

Its understated elegance is simply my favorite attribute about this watch.

Regarding the warranty comment from my original review - I guess Amazon is no longer offering a 5-year warranty on this watch. Be sure to contact them about warranty details since this watch is NOT covered by Movado's warranty (as it as not sold directly by an authorized Movado dealer). (Note: read updates from June 21, 2009 - this is no longer the case)

Update June 21, 2009: This watch is still going strong. I wanted to make a quick update to my original review: looks like Amazon.com is now an authorized Movado dealer! (Hooray!) Rest assured that your purchase will be covered by the official Movado warranty. (However, I think that the price has gone up significantly since my original review - I guess that is the price you pay to be an "authorized dealer.")

This is the second watch that I have bought from Amazon. This watch arrived in 2 days, brand new, in all the original packaging. It definately looks better in person. I comparison shopped and all the major retailers are selling this watch for $695. Only one site is selling it for less than $695, and they want $450. I haven't given it to my boyfriend yet, but I'm sure he'll love it!

I ordered this watch for my boyfriend for Christmas. It came packaged perfectly and he absolutely loved it. However, in March it stopped running true to time. He keeps trying to reset it with the current time, and 12 hours later, for example, only 2 hours on the watch will have passed by! I took it to a local jewelry store which sells Tag, Rolex, etc., and they checked the battery and said it was fine, so there is something wrong with the watch. Even though it was a greatly discounted price, it was still an expensive watch that I expected to last for a long time. Hopefully I can send it in to Movado and get it repaired, but even that costs at least $75.

This is my second Movado. I wore the first one every day for about 5 years. The battery leaked (my fault for not replacing it) and damaged the movement, hands, and face. It would have cost me $350 to fix. (A word of advise, replace the battery every 2 years, even if the watch is still running).

From the first to the last day, I was routinely asked about my watch. People, even those who are fashion-challenged, recognize the black face with the dot at 12.

I saw the Juro in Amazon and could no believe the price. I ordered it, and it arrived within 3 days. I like the size, bracelet, and face. Not too big, not little, not too dressy, not too casual, it is just right. With Movado, you make a statement.

The watch comes with all the original packaging, and manual. It is an original Movado. Since Amazon is not an authorize dealer, the factory warranty of 2 years is voided. However, Amazon warranties the watch for 2 years with a similar coverage to the manufacturer's.

Like many have said, this is a very beautiful watch. If you haven't already checked this out in a local jewelery store, you will be amazed when you actually see it for the first time. This watch is slightly smaller in size compared to its big brother, the Luno. Perfect for men who have smaller wrists. I was looking at this and the Luno, and chose this because it was smaller for my skinny wrist, and it had a cleaner look. Very classy look, but also goes well with casual wear and summer clothes. I have not had it very long but so far the time is perfectly accurate. The woven style pattern on the wrist band draws attention to the watch when wearing short sleeve shirts, but the classic Movado face catches eyes from miles away.

****IMPORTANT NOTE****
I took this watch to a few different mall-based jewelry stores to determine its authenticity. One jeweler glanced at it and said it was real, while another told me they weren't able to determine that in the store. Finally, I took it to a private local jeweler, where they opened the case and determined that this watch is genuinely swiss movement. So, for those of you weary, THIS WATCH IS A 100% SWISS MADE MOVADO. You just don't get the embossed warranty certificate from amazon.com.

Overall I'm happy with the price, the way the watch looks, feels, it's lightweight. AND ITS REAL. If you are looking at a Movado watch, this is definitely a good looking timepiece, and you won't beat this price locally.

My wife got this for me for Xmas and I love it! It replaced a 6 year old ESQ watch (with Movado guts and slim profile, just cheaper) which is banged up but still runs like a champ.

I like simple stuff and don't like gaudy jewelry. This watch is industrial and classy with a light, slim and comfortable profile. Add in a killer price and this is one great investment. So treat yourself, or your favorite guy to one of these - you'll/he'll be very happy!

Don't get me wrong- this is a nice watch and it looks fantastic.

Watch #1: within a month, the invisible clasp would not lock. There was a misalignment so only one or the other of the clasps could lock in. Would fall off spontaneously. Returned for replacement.

Watch #2: Was great for ~8 months. December rolled around, the weather was cold and noticed water condensation inside the watch. This means that the seal was defective and the cold weather showed that there was significant moisture in there. Returning and hoping for a refund as I don't think I can handle another defect with this same model.

I'm a 51 year old man and bought this for myself. It's beautiful and as a previous reviewer said it can be worn dressed up or with jeans. The face is not pretentiously large as many watches tend to be these days. I searched everywhere online and in stores and Amazon had by far the lowest price. Remember you will probably need to have it resized. I am 5'10" with average size wrists and I noticed when I got it resized at a jewelry shop ($15) they only took out two small links. So if you have very large wrists this band may be too small to begin with. Also Amazon is NOT an authorized Movado seller so you will get the 2 year Amazon guarantee which does not cover the band or crystal, just the inner workings against manufacturer defects. A nice watch for the price and so far I'm very satisified. Can't beat the price.

This watch is absolutely perfect! $339 is the best price anywhere. The free shipping worked out well (took 6 days). The watch arrived and it was packaged as new. All the plastic was on the watch, books included, etc. The sticker on the back indicates the battery should be changed in 2013 (which is 5 years from now), which proves that this watch hasn't been sitting around in a warehouse. The Amazon experience was exceptional. The watch looks so good, so exclusive for this price. I get compliments on this watch every day. Most Movado retailers are selling this watch for around $600. Great purchase and this should watch should last me a while.

I gave this movado watch to my boyfriend for Christmas this year, and was very happy with the look and surely the price! I shopped around at Macy's and online and I saved at least 400 dollars on amazon!!
My boyfriend really likes the watch as well!
