MOVA Globe Metallic Black and Silver 4.5

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.

fantasy but fragile.

awsome

It is neat and intriguing.

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.

Beautiful item. Great gift idea.

Thats it, thats the review. Coolest thing ever.

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

Looked nice in the office

bought this to replace one that was given to me and someone dropped doesnt seem to be as rotating as the first...I did use the original base the original one came on so hope that is not the reason overall I love it, it is a great gift (I got mine for my military retirement) -- it is a special thing to have I do overall love it
