After wearing the same watch for 27 years -- a beautiful Movado -- I decided to get another every day watch. I was impressed with a friend's MVMT. When it arrived, the instructions were on a long, foldable pamphlet picturing 6 watch types. There were drawings but minimal writing on how to start watch; interchange strap; adjust mesh band; adjust chain links and install nato strap. There was also written info on MVMT itself. ALL in teenie, weenie LIGHT print that was almost impossible to read with bifocals (perhaps that is where I made my mistake -- is this watch only for the young and not a 73-year old vision impaired woman?) Before I started the watch, I wanted to make sure of the fit as I have a large wrist. There were no instructions on how to close the latch. It was a little unusual, and I couldn't close it at all. So I went on-line and found a video. At the start of the video, the woman noted that the closure was "Unique" -- translation, difficult. After watching it three times, i figured it out. The fit was perfect. Now to start the watch. The instructions said (once again in tiny letters) "pull crown out 1 click and rotate". However there was a little teeny plastic red "button" on the crown, and it wouldn't budge. Finally it broke off and I was able to pull the crown out and set the watch. There was a plastic coating on the front and the back that was difficult to get off. So now I'm finally wearing the watch. After 45 minutes of trying to figure it out. Honestly, getting a new watch shouldn't take that long. My Movado was a 25th anniversary gift from my employers. It's been almost 28 years, but I remember taking it out of the box, latching the band and voila! SO PLEASE please ask MVMT for better directions, with pictures NOT drawings, and larger print. Looks like a pretty good watch.
