MOVA Globe Metallic Black and Silver 4.5

Great product , great price

Bought it for my mom. She loves it

I was worried when I heard other reviews saying that it had stopped working after a year, or that shaking it could also damage it. Ive had this for a few months now and so far so good. The instructions say you should try out different spots to get the best mileage out of your mova globe. If it is too directly in the light, then the sphere may appear transparent, at which point you can see the inner liquid which fills about 3/4 of the globe. Not a downside but just a caveat. Overall the globe fits my expectations, it spins great and it looks cool when visitors come over.

This is my second Mova globe. The first one was the 4.5 Satellite View with Cloud Cover. It had an interesting look, but I kind of like the white and gold one better. But with any of the Mova globes, the effect is astonishing. Two things pop into mind that make anyone scratch their head wondering how the laws of physics can be defied: 1) How does it just keep turning with nothing driving it, and 2) How does it touch the stand with apparently no friction whatsoever. I had the first globe for years before it started acting inconsistently recently, so I just replaced it with this new one. The globe sat on my desk in my office, which is somewhat bright with fluorescent lights. I never needed to put it near a window. I wish I had a nickel for every person who stopped to look at it, stooping to look underneath it, shifting positions, staring, moving around it, with a puzzled look on their face. When I first saw a Mova globe on someones desk, I couldnt take my eyes off of it. I had to have one. Im a geek, both professionally and personally. This globe cant be beat by how it looks, how it works, and the sheer effect it has on the observer. I tip my hat to the genius who invented this work of technical art.

this is a gift for Christmas, still in the box, but Ive seen them on store shelves before and they are awesome and unique

These are beautiful and the science behind how they work is so cool--look it up! I gave this one as a birthday gift with a note that said, You have the world in your hands. The recipient loves it and has commented on it several times, saying they receive compliments on it constantly. Check out all the different options and colors they have before you hit order.

Got this for a christmas present...works flawlessly. Most everyone who sees it comments positively. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a uniques gift.

Beautiful, and so neat to watch. It is mesmerizing. Many compliments.

fantasy but fragile.

Good decorating piece. Looks good. A bit pricey, but I dont know all the manufacturing details so maybe its a great value, who knows? I do really like it tho.
