How to Spot a Fake Tissot or Seiko Watch
By World of Watches •
Fake watches usually give themselves away through a price that is too good to be true, poor finishing, wrong or missing paperwork and odd behaviour. The safest way to avoid them is to buy from a store you can visit and to keep the invoice and warranty card.
Check The Basics
- Price: Far below the usual price is a warning sign.
- Seller: A shop you can visit is safer than an unknown online seller.
- Paperwork: The warranty card and serial number should match the watch.
- Packaging: Real brands use quality boxes and clear labelling.
Check The Watch
- Finishing: Edges, dial printing and logos should be crisp and even.
- Case back: Engravings should be clear and correct.
- Movement: A quartz second hand ticks once a second. An automatic sweeps smoothly.
- Weight and feel: A real watch usually feels solid and well put together.
If You Are Unsure
Ask the store team, or contact the brand with the serial number. Never buy under pressure.
