I have bought one of these every year for the last three years and it has held up amazingly well. I leave it in my bag 24/7 and it only get somewhat worn around the edges. I love that there is a weekly page on the left and a notes page on the right. The size is just right, too. Fits in my back pocket. Excellent product.
As I sit here comparing my 2015 and (new) 2016 Moleskine Weekly Notebooks, there are two quite disappointing and unnecessary changes introduced for 2016:First, the eminently useful, vertical annual planning calendars in the front of the notebook - which allowed one to plan for four months at a time over two years - have been replaced by very conventional single-page mini monthly calendars, which are actually a disadvantage for planning purposes, and seem to miss the entire point about annual planning. What's more, there were TWO years of the previous vertical planning calendars, which (apparently to save page counts and production costs?) have been replaced by only ONE year of these stupid blocky monthly calendars. So there's no longer any place to jot in your plans for the next year, which is this case would be 2017. It seems like a whimsical decision by Moleskine, and at least for me (I do plan events and deadlines months and even years in advance), this really detracts from the previous usefulness of this product. Very disappointing.Second, the very nice typography of previous years has been replaced with a rather heavyset type which draws attention to itself on every page. Again, it seems a rather whimsical and counterproductive design decision. Very much an anti-Moleskine decision. (It's kind of like putting sharp edges on an iPhone, and I don't even own an iPhone but can understand the aesthetic appeal).I can't put my finger on all of the things that are wrong about this "new and improved" 2016 Moleskine Weekly Notebook, but there are several beyond those already mentioned.I've been using various Moleskine since before they were popular (10+ years?) and they obviously have a new designer who has made some very poor decisions. At this rate they are on track to join the unpleasant muck of the dozen other "popular" planners, most of which are detestable.
Pleased as punch. Just what I was looking for and a great price. Fits in my hip pocket perfectly. I do think it has a lot of useless information on the first 30 or so pages but someone must be using this stuff. For me, I'd rather have it be slimmer or pages I can write in.
The title says the planner is 8.25 x 5 but then the product description accurately describes it as 5 x 3, or about that. It was about the size of my iPhone! Don't get confused by the headline like I did.
This small moleskin calendar is durable, compact and has a lot of extras without wasting space. The bulk of the calendar is a weekly calendar with 2 pages dedicated to each week (1 page lists the days of the week with sections to write in appointments and the opposing page is blank (lined) for notes.) Extras in this planner include: year calendar, monthly calendars, world map with time zones, country dialing codes, measures and conversions, international sizes, a ruler and a pocket in the back to store small loose papers. the planner can be kept securely closed with an elastic strap attached to the planner. This planner is fantastic if you want something small. If you have many appointments a day, or aren't able to write/read small print, I'd suggest getting a larger moleskin planner.
I was bummed when I realized I purchased the 3x5 planner. But as I went through the planner I actually came to like it more than my 6x10-ish 2015 Moleskin planner. I especially like the monthly calendars in the front. I used to print off those monthly planners to stick in my 2015 calendar!Thus, I don't love the size but I do like the layout and page designs!
This notebook has been bounced around the bottom of my purse for 3 months now, no tearing or signs of distress. If this can hold out the entire calendar year, I'm going to start buying the thinner cover Moleskines instead of the thick (book-like) cover Moleskines. Its cheaper!Small complaint, paper is not very opaque so I can see my gel pen writing through the opposite side of the page.
I love Moleskine products. The low rating is due to packaging/seller issues. I ordered this thinking it was the 8.25 x 5.5 inch size, as indicated in the title. I see now that the product dimensions do state this is the smaller sized, 3.5 x 5 inch planner. Will be returning it since I need the larger size.
