Compare the price of the watch among a sampling of retailers. Movado watches will never be deeply discounted or sold in fire sales.

2
Look for mistakes in grammar and spelling on the dial and back of the case. Often English is not the first language of workers in replica factories. Errors such as these will always indicate a fake product.

Check that the watch winds smoothly with no catches or movement in the case. Movado watches are famous for their well-engineered design and will perform flawlessly.

Study the crown for any signs of glue or uneven edges.

Use a jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass to scrutinize the dial and date wheel for any sign of irregular printing of the logo, fuzziness of type or bleeding between letters. The Movado logo should be printed in all caps and only slightly larger than the other lettering.

Check the watch for dust, fingerprints or hair. A genuine Movado watch will be free of all contaminants.

I'd love to get a fake movement inside my Movado. I sent it in for a battery replacement and Movado told me I needed a new movement @$530. How great is that for quality...the battery outlasted the movement.
