Product Description
Take the classic Swiss Railway dial that Mondaine’s famous for, squeeze it down into a 26-millimeter case, and you get the EVO Petite. Designed for ladies, this quartz-powered timepiece is small and subtle, and it comes in two different styles Read More
This is just my opinion, but those tiny ladies' watches are just too small. I'm seeing a lot more ladies' watches in the 36mm range. This is a good thing as those microscopic ladies' watches are hard to read.
BruceReI've gifted small ladies watches to a lot of my friends and my girlfriend. As long as the dial is clear (such as in this Mondaine or the Timex Easy Reader) its quite legible at a small size.
joined drop and cancelled immediately after reading horror stories of watch breaking short time after buying and costing money to fix.
My wife has wanted a mondaine for a while. But I think I will get the original womens version rather than this evo petite. I feel this may have been built at the expense of build quality and the details looks poor on these watches. The bigger ones seem to have better finishing. Also the lugs on these are too chunky in proportion to the case size.
Thanks mate. Points taken. I wasn't to know that the battery might've been the cause as it was a new watch purchased from MD, one would've expected that the battery would not just die after 8 weeks or so.
And I'm no watch expert and no tools to do it with and would've expected there were some warranty that came with purchasing a Mondaine.
NotDeDNo worries pal, a lot of these bargain watches with no warranties are through the grey market.
In other words say Brand X sold a watch to JCpenny and it sat there for 2 years.... well they're obligated to buy so many watches over a set time frame to remain as an Authorized Dealer. Thus, since they bought the watch at a much cheaper price than you they turn around and sell it to a Jomashop, Creation Watches, or sell in mass through a Massdrop, Touch of Modern.
Anyhow the point is, it's new as in no one wore it..... but it still spent some time in disuse.
These Evo Petite watches here have since been replaced by a new version with a sapphire glass, so these older Evo Petites need to be sold off to make way for the newer ones.
Therefore, who knows where the watch has been or how old it is. The grey market is always risk.....
Also, the people at the repair facilities make mistakes all the time and a little white lie to slack off or cover something up isn't uncommon.
Very cute watch, and the price can't be beat. Valentines Day? But the last two gifts I gave my wife were watches, so maybe I need to switch it up a little.
Mine arrived a couple of days ago. It was DOA. Maybe a bad battery or maybe a bad unit. Customer Service is sending me a return label. I'm bummed. Bought for a Valentine gift.
Just to add the battery has since died. I expected this and will be replacing its soon.
Most of you will run into this as well, this is a prior gen watch that hasn't been produced in a while.
In other words it sat on a shelf somewhere for years.
Still a nice gift for the missus, just replace the battery beforehand.
