Basic, inexpensive quartz watches, nothing more.
In Response To: Are ESQ watches any good ? ()

: I was wondering if anyone can give any info on
: this suspicous brand ..ESQ ?

ESQ is a typical department store brand of watches, most of which are basic under $200 knocks offs of designs of better manufacturers. Their highest end watches top out at about $350 in the stores (or about $475 retail price).

: They say they are made by Movado ? Is this true ?

ESQ is a division of Movado--but that does not mean crap as to whether this brand is even REMOTELY related in quality, style, or manufacture to the company's other brands. Many corporations own both high and low end brands in the same market. Do not take any such statements seriously as they are designed to *sound* positive and lull uninformed buyers into thinking the low end product they are looking at is magically better because it is associated with a higher end brand.

: Any info on the brand would be appreciated.

They appear to be decent servicable watches in the price range that 95% of watch buyers will ever spend on a watches.

Their official web site is supposed to be at http://www.esq-watch.com/, but I cannot access it at the moment.
