Product Description:
Blending classic timepiece design with refined European style, this Omega Constellation women's watch offers graceful lines and a medium-sized width. Part of the Cindy Crawford My Choice collection, this fully silver watch offers an appealing balance of luxury, durability, and precision (with its Swiss quartz watch movement). Its highly polished stainless steel case is topped by a brushed bezel that features engraved Roman numerals in black and curved claw accents at 3 and 9 o'clock. The silver stainless steel bracelet band flows seamlessly from the case and is slightly tapered. It's composed of alternating wide links and contrasting thin bands, and is joined by a secure push-button safety clasp.
The white dial background also includes silver-tone Dauphine hands, thin baton hour markers, and small minute indexes. Other features include a scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal, a distinctive Cabochon crown, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet) The watch case measures 25.5mm (1 inch) across and 8mm (0.31 inches) deep.
The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.
But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Movado Women's 690299 Classic Museum Gold-Plated Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been seeing ads for the Movado museum watch since the 80s and thought it always looked beautiful although I'd never seen it in person. I finally bought this one online. It turned out to be quite a disappointment. It's a nice looking watch but it's cheaply made. It feels flimsy when you hold it in your hand, the leather strap is too short and I have to keep mine on the largest opening, and the buckle broke immediately the very first time I put the watch on. I would not buy again...

BTW, I now see that this watch is listed for $450 on Amazon?!?!?! I paid somehwere between $150 and $180 from Amazon in early 2007. At that price it was an OK watch. At $450, this watch is a total rip off -- defiantely not worth that!!!

Product Description:
This classic Museum dial watch showcases Movado's celebrated minimalist design.The round black dial is punctuated with gold-toned Dauphine hands and a single concave dotmarker at the 12 o'clock position. This signature dial, famously introduced for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, is intended to evoke images of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The black dial is set off beautifully by a gold-toned stainless steel case and bezel.A black leather strap with a buckle closure completes the sleek and sophisticated look.Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal,precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters.
About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.

Product Description:
Set sail with confidence and style to points unknown with this classic Omega Aqua Terra stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, part of Omega's Seamaster line. This highly accurate timepiece is as comfortable negotiating deals in the boardroom as it is navigating the breaking seas. Definitively masculine in design, it features a mid-sized, round silver stainless steel watch case with a rhodium-plated finish that blends brushed and polished surfaces and measures 38mm (1.50 inches) wide.
It features a slightly raised, highly polished bezel that frames a black dial background with Dauphine hands, a mix of silver tone triangular dial markers and Arabic numerals (at the quarter hours), and small minute indexes. Other features include a scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 150 meters (500 feet). It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a deployment-clasp-with-push-button clasp.
Originally created in the 1750s, the first chronometers were clocks that were accurateenough to calculate the longitude of a ship's position. Today, the chronometer label is bestowed upon timepieces that have undergone precision tests and received a certificate from the official COSC (Control Officile Suisse de Chronometers) regulatory organization that rigorously tests and certifies (or fails) watch movements for chronometer status.
Automatic Watch Movement
An automatic watch is self-winding, and its movement has a reserve that must be at least partially filled prior to being worn. This is done by shaking and winding the timepiece manually. In order for an automatic timepiece to keep a reserve, it must be worn daily for 8 hours of active wear. This watch as a 44-hour power reserve.

Omega Men's 2253.80.00 Seamaster 300M Midsize Automatic Chronometer Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this watch as a reward to myself. I was impressed by a few things, the value, the quality of workmanship and the overall stunning appearance.

First off, you have to love the price, I looked at a few higher end watches in an Authorized Dealer store, and not a single watch (including this Omega was under ($2500). I purchased this Omega, the 2253.80 for just under $1600 with express shipping. You can buy the Quartz version (Omega 2265.80 I believe) for only $1300, I think it is better to buy this higher quality self winding version. It is small difference in price, and I think in the long run is a wise decision. Should the day come when you want or need to sell it, self winding/automatic watches have a much higher resale value than Quartz. I see this watch as more of a wearable investment rather than a watch, sort of like fine art. You can buy a decent cheapo watch for $100 or 200 but you just won't get a lifetime or more of use.

The workmanship on this watch is great, everything is topnotch. The crown is designed well, the band is nice, not cheap looking, and the hands are easy to read, unlike some of the more modern designs. The locking clasp is perfect, as with all Omegas. Omega presents it to you beautifully, the case is red leather, and the ID/chronometer cards are held in a white leather portfolio-style case

The watch itself is stunning. It is sophisticated, somewhat conservative but with a modern flair. It compliments a dress suit, business casual, or even just a t-shirt. The bezel/face is the perfect size for any size wrist. 35mm is slightly on the smaller side for a men's watch, but I have large wrists (8") and it is just the right size. Some of the larger watches, are just too large and bulky to wear, this Omega is perfect. It is sturdy, but not heavy, and is perfect for almost any occasion.

Finally, my gripes. These are barely worth mentioning, but a review would not be complete without mentioning the negatives of a products. First, Amazon did a sub-par job packaging it for shipment. It did have bubble wrap, but the box was too short for Omega's box so there was a significant bulge. Once you open the box, you will most likely notice there is some black smudging on the thing holding the watch in Omega's beautiful leather/velvet-y case. This is yet again, Amazon's fault. They put a bar code sticker to identify the watch, and the ink rubs off.

My conclusion, if you are in the market for a watch that will get you attention and snob appeal look elsewhere (diamond/gold Rolex). This watch, while unique, and stunning isn't going to get average people to look at you. Only people that know about the quality of watches, or are somewhat keen on good things will know to identify it. You can walk into a bar with gold Rolex and heads will turn. Whether or not you want that attention is probably determined by some sort of self loathing or the need for attention.

If you are looking for a high-quality time piece that has value and style this is the perfect gift for the one you love, or yourself. I personally own a Rolex Stainless Submariner, Tug Heuer, and a Citizen Eco-Drive and this Omega is my favorite watch.

Set sail with confidence and style to points unknown with this classic Omega Seamaster stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, a highly accurate timepiece that's as comfortable negotiating deals in the boardroom as it is navigating the breaking seas. It's also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet) and a helium escape valve, which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn in highly pressurized environments (such as long-term underwater work or crude oil exploration).

Omega Men's 2909.50.38 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Orange Leather Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Omega Men's 3222.80.00 Speedmaster Day-Date Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A watch for the collector who prizes the ideosyncratic.
Omega has created a quirky day/date automatic (a big deal in the watch world) that isn't the price of an automobile. All automatics are a little less exact than quartz as far as timekeeping goes, but my speedmaster only gains about two minutes per month, and since I like using it, I don't mind re-setting it from time to time.
The actual user manual is on-line, very specific and clear about the controls.
But if you have no fascination with the art of watchmaking and the "complications" of authentic, quality Swiss watchwork, go with a quartz; it's less "work"...

Product Description:
Add a true classic to your timepiece collection with the amazingly precise and rugged Omega Speedmaster day-and-date men's watch (model 3222.80.00), the latest generation that first started with the timepiece designed for NASA in the 1960s. It features the Omega 3606 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.
The watch also includes a central chronograph hand with 30-minute and 12-hour subdial totalizers, 24-hour subdial, and day and month windows. The large, round watch measures 39mm wide (1.54 inches) and 15mm thick (0.59 inches), and it's topped by a blue-plated bezel with tachymeter readings. The blue dial background has a circular Geneva wave pattern, luminous silver-tone hands, luminous tipped stick hour markers, and small second indexes. It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a secure, push-button clasp. Other features include a scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.
Automatic Watch Movement
An automatic watch is self-winding, and its movement has a reserve that must be at least partially filled prior to being worn. This is done by shaking and winding the timepiece manually. In order for an automatic timepiece to keep a reserve, it must be worn daily for 8 hours of active wear. This watch as a 44-hour power reserve.
How to Use a Tachymeter
A tachymeter is an instrument for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read off in kilometers per hour based on 1000 meters distance. For example, the chronograph indicates that the distance of one kilometer has been covered in 30 seconds. The corresponding point on the tachymeter scale indicates 120, and thus the speed is 120km per hour.
The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt.

Checked the serial with Omega HQ in Switzerland and was verified of an authentic watch. For the price, it does make it worthwhile to own. This watch always sells out at Amazon so if its available buy it soon or else you will have to wait for over a month or two for it to be in stock again. I was about to buy it from an authorized dealer but the 2yr warranty &substantial price difference convinced me to buy it from Amazon.

Get it and you won't be disappointed, I guarantee it.

It frames a black dial background with luminous silver Dauphine hands and thick baton dial markers. Other features include a 42-hour power reserve, screw-in caseback, screw-locked crown, and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal. It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a secure deployment buckle. This adjustable band measures 7 inches in length.
Originally created in the 1750s, the first chronometers were clocks that were accurateenough to calculate the longitude of a ship's position. Today, the chronometer label is bestowed upon timepieces that have undergone precision tests and received a certificate from the official COSC (Control Officile Suisse de Chronometers) regulatory organization that rigorously tests and certifies (or fails) watch movements for chronometer status.
The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.
But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my Omega Speedmaster Professional almost 38 years ago and still wear it today.I spent $375 to have it overhauled a few months ago as I could not bear to part with it.In 1969 I was in a bunker on top of a hill northeast of Khe Sanh(the siege was long over)and saw an ad in TIME for the watch that went to the moon.While on R&R in Hong Kong a month later I purchased it and have never regretted it.I timed 'flash to burst' artillery observations, timed officer candidates' performance on conditioning runs, timed photo processes in a darkroom, timed my wife's contractions during childbirth, timed radio and tv advertising scripts and use it to keep time while I am cooking.Always a faithful reminder of all that I have been through and ready to go for decades more, I plan to leave it to my first-born grandson when I pass away.

Product Description:
Large and in charge, this Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow stainless steel automatic men's' watch boldly announces its presence, as comfortable negotiating deals in the boardroom as it is racing desert rallies or navigating the breaking seas. This highly accurate timepiece is a replica of the famous manual-winding chronograph timepiece that was used during the first landing on the moon in 1969. It includes a chronograph with small seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour subdials. Definitively masculine in design, it features a large, round silver stainless steel watch case with a rhodium-plated finish that blends brushed and polished surfaces and measures 41mm (1.61 inches) wide and 11.5mm (0.45 inches) deep.
The highly polished silver bezel includes tachymeter markings in black, and it frames a deep black dial background with large, luminous hands (with seconds hand) and baton dial markers in silver tone. Other features include a clear sapphire back, scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal, and water resistance to meters feet (330 feet). It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a secure, push-button clasp.
Automatic Watch Movement
An automatic watch is self-winding, and its movement has a reserve that must be at least partially filled prior to being worn. This is done by shaking and winding the timepiece manually. In order for an automatic timepiece to keep a reserve, it must be worn daily for 8 hours of active wear. This watch as a 48-hour power reserve.

Timex Men's T49201 Expedition E-Compass Titanium Leather Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this watch 1 year ago. I purchased it for 1 reason only,, I needed a very rough (within 3-10 degrees) north reading. I needed this for work (IM a forester) and yes I know the limitations of this tool.. It never worked correctly. well maybe for the first 2 weeks. Be prepared to calibrate this several times a day.

After the first 2 weeks it was consistently off by 30-90 and as much as 180 degrees. So much so that I could never trust it.

I thought it was broke, So i sent it in for repair, 8-12 weeks later it is returned.. Actually its a different watch and @1!model.
This one is even more broken. Its stuck on East Permanently.

Word of advice. Buy this watch if you want a time piece and want to appear to have a compass on your wrist.

If you want a compass to Use for even the most rudimentary direction finding. Buy a $10 key chain compass.

And defiantly don't expect Timex to send you a repaired watch.

For me this was a $200 learning experience, Its going on Ebay for $5 to start... maybe some fool wants a Compass looking Timepiece

Casio Men's VA104HDA-7AV Ana-Digi Atomic Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this watch because of the larger LCD display panel- hoping it would be easier to read the date than the models with a smaller LCD panel. Alas- while the display panel is bigger than most, it is used to display two lines of data. For example: Hours and minutes on the top line and seconds on the second line. The top line characters are about 3mm high, while the second line has about 2mm characters- making reading no easier than most other display types. The display is certainly not as sharp and clear as shown in the picture. The face is silver color and the hands are chrome making the reading a bit difficult in some light conditions. The hands are not luminous but rather cut away where other watches usually have a luminous band. The full face lights up with a greenish light that stays on just two seconds. The hands show well with this light, but the LCD display is not as well illuminated. There is no sweep second hand, but you can display seconds as one option on the LCD panel. The minute hand steps ahead by 1/3 minute every 20 seconds. The outer perimeter of the dial is ringed with a silver plastic ring that contains minute markings and grey triangles at each five minute point. This rather cheap looking ring does not rotate.
The watch is 13mm thick (about 1/2 inch) and 43mm(1 11/16")wide. The band appears to be well made and sturdy but I havent worn it to assess long term durability.
In use, the watch sync'd easily from Connecticut. You can set your home city time zone to control the analog hands and a second time zone on the LCD panel. Changing the home city designation causesthe hands to power themselves around to the proper time- Impressive! The watch is battery powered with a claimed two year battery life. It has five alarms including a snooze and a count down alarm and a icon to show signal strength. The watch uses Module 2735 and you can download the instruction sheet at Casio.com under that number. All in all it's a lot of technology for the money, but I think there are better looking Casio watches available.

Timex Men's T41501 Expedition Adventure Tech Altimeter Barometer Resin Strap Watch Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this watch because I needed a new one and because I was curious about how pressure varies during airplane flights. So far I like all the features of this watch.It tells time quite accurately, is very easy to read in various conditions, and many of its features are intuitive.So far it also seems to be fairly rugged, which was a concern, though for under $100, I am not too concerned, as long as it lasts a few years.

Note that if you are serious about using the altimeter, you must know an accurate starting altitude (to with 10 feet) or the barometric pressue when you start your hike.Otherwise, the watch has no chance of giving accurate altitude readings.In climates that have very frequent pressure changes, you'll need a topographical map or wireless access to the Internet to recalibrate during your hike.
