Both of these models will track your steps taken throughout the day, and track your sleep for you at night, transmitting this information to an app on your smartphone. If you were hoping for any sort of notifications coming from your phone to your watch, that is not what the MotionX platform offers. It is – at least at this point in the game – more for building basic fitness tracking into a traditional watch package, obviating the need for you to carry multiple devices. One watch to rule them all, if you will. Finally, that means that the watches using MotionX will all perform the same, and it boils down to a matter of what your personal preference in styling is.Īs I mentioned, the Movado Museum Sport is very much Movado, through and through, as is the sister collection, the 39mm Movado Bellina Motion. On the Movado Museum Sport Motion, that subdial, along with indicating the date, contains a small moon and the word “activity.” As we saw with the Frederique Constant and Alpina watches, this is where your activity and sleep tracking are displayed. Now, why would watches from Movado share this with the Frederique Constant brands? Well, that is because the technology that is being used, the MotionX platform, is intended as that: a platform that is open for any brand to utilize and incorporate. This basically means a few things. First off, it’s an easy way for a brand to build a smart watch, as they only need to design the watch around the existing movement. Second, it means that styling is going to be fairly similar between the versions (subdial at 6, a pusher instead of a crown), as the MotionX tech is pretty young.
When it comes to Movado watches, you would not be blamed for immediately calling to mind their museum collection, as that style, especially with the metallic disc at the 12 o’clock position, has become iconic for the brand. It is not surprising, then, that one of their first smartwatches is the Movado Museum Sport Motion. In fact, if you did not know any better, you might think that this is a larger (44mm) and sportier take on the classic Movado Museum watch. And it certainly does draw a lineage there, but a closer look at the subdial will show that this is something quite different. Lately, however, the functions seem to have become a bit more standardized, and we are starting to see more traditionally-styled watches that hide their tech under classic skins. Two of the new Movado smartwatch collections follow that vein, while the last is a bit bolder with its showcasing of the tech.
It used to be that smartwatches were something that really only the gadget-oriented seemed to gravitate towards. I think at first, that made sense, as they were more technically oriented, in terms of what they could do and the customization they offered.
