MOVA Globe Metallic Black and Silver 4.5

This is a really unique gift and even for yourself. It works in low light areas a as well.

Bought as a gift for my brother. It’s similar to the one I bought for myself. These globes are fascinating and beautiful.

The size is perfect and beautiful

Sits on my office desk and gets tons of compliments. I first saw a Mova globe at a fancy boutique store here in Raleigh NC, and love them! Would be great for an executive or kid alike. (A kid that could sit it on their desk and not pick it up too much.)

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.

So beautiful

Great decoration. Love how it slowly spins when light shines on it.

This is my first MOVA globe, and it won’t be my last. The globe is a marvel of beauty and functionality – it moves with the grace of a planetary body in space, very slowly and evenly as long as there is a bit of ambient light to charge its internal solar cells. An internal magnet helps drive the motion as well, just as true North triggers a compass needle. It’s an ingenious combination of natural forces that produces this truly remarkable effect. The design of the visible map of the Earth is also well done, itself encased in a transparent shell while floating inside without contacting the shell.

If you love gadgets, this is a must have. What a invention, and what a conversation piece. Very delicate, must be handled with care, keep away from kids.

this thing does not work, at all. dont waste your time or money on this thing. just sets there never moves
