Lets settle few things first-
I didn't purchased @ B&M store,so YES! there's no manufacturer warranty, but that's obvious, for price I paid,no auth. TH seller would match..so if it's a brick..then its my loss.
Its an online purchase (amazon), is it real..is it fake!! I don't know,although under most circumstances, I do trust on Amazon and product they sell..so it's totally your call if you want to buy from here

Now the product~

I wanted to buy movado but ever since amazon becomes authorized dealer for Movado, they jacked up their prices so a decent movado and TH was similar in price, I bought this watch purely for namesake. I personally like watches which has scratch resistant glass as well as band (tungsten),but again!! you get what you pay for, so for 6xx.xx$, this is a good deal~watch although looks big,but in reality it's light.

I was fumbled with chrono feature first but figured it out once I went thru manual (although its still not detailed properly), Only thing which bugs me is that its a battery powered watch,but again!! I knew it before I made the purchase, did anyone experience yet that how much it cost to get batteries swapped @ TH dealer vs local shop? I'm concerned about the seal so don't want to take it to just anyone when the time comes.

One thing Which I still need to figure out is date feature! for 30 vs 31 day of any given month, also for feb..will it correctly display 28/29 of feb? My current chrono shows leap year and respective month so dates are always aligned..not sure TH feature in this aspect.

All in all, I don't see any reason giving this watch less than 5 star..

next in line is Breitling (lol~Only if I can find a good deal)
