Elliot Brown BloxworthvsMovado Series 800 Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Movado Series 800 Chronograph as a solid daily driver with zero maintenance headaches and flawless chronograph functions, noting its 200m water resistance eliminates "precious watch" anxiety. Its 42mm size is considered versatile for office or weekend wear, suitable for most wrist sizes. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its sportier, tool-watch aesthetic with a dive watch feel, featuring a sunray dial and applied markers. Some owners find the case construction nice and the watch well-made, with one owner's friend's long-owned example still looking and performing well despite constant wear. However, one reviewer noted the omission of some lumed indices and a non-color-matched date wheel as odd misses. Another owner mentions that the chronograph hands require manual adjustment to their zero positions after a battery change or error, with each button press advancing the active hand one increment.
