Movado's Automatic movement watches

It has come to my attention that Movado makes automatic "Museaum" watches. Does anyone know if they are accurate or are a quality product?

its pretty nice. slim, fits well under a shirt. i got it a few years ago and dont wear it much anymore. it is pretty noisy sometimes.

Thanks for the response. I've had a museum quartz piece for several years now. It has been preety accurate and I've yet to replace the battery. How accurate are automatic movados. Also, in terms of noise, what exactly do you hear that is louder than other automatic watches?

the self winding mechanism sounds like its broken sometimes. thats the best way to explain it. if i shake my wrist it sounds like its coming apart. i brought it to a few stores to see if its "normal", no one was surprised at the sounds it was making. still doesnt sound right to me.

as far as accuracy goes, i am not too sure, i never wear it for more than a work day or evening.

youre welcome to borrow it if you would like lol.

I have a Movado auto cushion case with an exhibition back. I bought it as a cheap fun watch.

I like it, it keeps great time, is quiet and I get more comments on it then I do most of my other watches.

I would never buy at retail, but as a cool cheap fun watch, I could not be happier.
