Watches
Watches picks, all in one place: who this category suits, what to double-check before ordering, which part of the QC photos deserves a close look, and the trap newcomers fall for most. Read this page first, then shortlist with confidence.
Watches · Quick checks
Good for: Movement stated and the caseback shown rather than only the dial.
Confirm: That declaring the piece at its stated value is something you are comfortable doing.
QC focus: Have the back of the case photographed; the finishing there is where copies tend to slip.
Trap: Branding is frequently wrong in this category, so treat any claimed mark as unconfirmed until you have seen it.
Crystal material and durability
Mineral glass scratches in normal use, while sapphire resists almost everything except a hard knock. The difference is invisible in photographs and significant after a year of wear. Ask which crystal the listing uses rather than assuming, and if the price seems too low for sapphire, it is mineral glass being described generously.
Case size, lug width and wrist fit
Case diameter alone does not tell you how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length decides whether it overhangs your wrist. Measure your wrist and compare against both figures. Strap width determines whether you can swap the strap later, which is the cheapest way to change how a watch looks, so check that it is a common size.
Battery, servicing and ownership costs
Quartz watches need a battery every couple of years and little else. Mechanical watches benefit from a service every few years, which costs real money and is easy to forget when comparing prices. Factor ownership cost into the decision, because a bargain mechanical watch that has never been serviced is a false economy over five years.
