Be Careful With Cheap Watches

How is a person supposed to know when a watch is worth what someone is charging for it

, or if it is something that has no value at all. It is possible that you might be looking at something that looks like an expensive watch, but is more likely a cheap copy. Many manufactures try to make a timepiece that is designed like its more famous counterpart. But there is another category of wristwatch products that include many expensive ladies watches being sold on the Internet and through magazine ads that are not actually counterfeit, but they are sold using outrageous misrepresentations and should be equally avoided.

These luxury watch imposters are inexpensive watches being misleadingly represented as if they were fine luxury timepieces. Manufacturers of the fake watches try to fool people who do not check them closely by using a brand name that sounds or looks like a well known brand name. The difference is in the quality of materials and the quality of workmanship that is used in the famous brands compared to their cheaply made copies. The typical things that are done include a few things like are a combination of an impressive Swiss, German or European sounding name, or an impressive recommended retail price, or fancy verbiage that sounds like what a luxury watch brand such as Cartier Ballon Bleu would say, or impressive comparisons of features to those of other luxury timepieces, or a special price you can buy it for that is incredibly below the retail price.

No one could actual charge that suggested price and never would even attempt to. How can they sell them so cheap? Simple, they are cheap watches. Consumer protection agencies clearly label such exaggerated retail pricing as a misleading and deceptive sales tactic. A person can avoid falling for one of these fake watches and all of their claims if they take the time to learn what distinguishes a real timepiece from a fake one and use that knowledge when they are out shopping.

A couple of obvious clues will help someone determine if a watch is a cheap copy or not. No real luxury watch sells new for a street, catalog or Internet price of under $250. No real luxury watch sells new for more than 50% off of its genuine retail price, even from the most aggressive discount dealers. Avoid the store that is having a different kind of sale every week if you do not want a cheap copy. A real luxury brand will be well discussed on the Internet so do a search for the brand name and if you can't find something like a Cartier Ballon Bleu review or collectors and owners discussing the merits of the brand, it is unlikely to be a true luxury brand. A real luxury brand will be sold through well known dealers. When using sites such as e bay, don't believe that you can get a watch that is real at a price that is well below its actual value. Only in rare cases do these ultra-cheap imposter brands have official company websites that showcase the products. Even when you are able to locate the company online, be careful about how it looks and realize it might be as fake as the watch it shows.

The bottom line is that when a deal looks like a amazing and unbelievable opportunity, it usually should be avoided. The economics of the manufacturing and selling products make it impossible for new wristwatches to be sold at 70-95% off of a legitimate retail price.

Many people talk about how much they saved by buying something on sale instead of looking at how much what they bought is actually worth. People get swept up by the idea that they are getting a steal of a deal and stop looking at the obvious clues that something is not right about the product they are buying.
