One of the most common problems that most people face whilst shopping online is buying fake products. There are countless frauds on the internet who sell fake products in order to dupe people and steal their money. One of the products that are often sold fake on the internet is watches. Buy a watch online only from a well known shopping site.

Here are some tips that can help prevent you from buy fake watches online:

1.Observe the Watch Carefully

When you visit an online shop that is selling a popular branded watch at a very low price , you should carefully observe the pictures present on the site and compare it to the pictures present on the maker’s site. For e.g. if you come across a Rolex watch that is available at an amazingly low price, you should open the Rolex watch website and compare the pictures present on it to the picture present on the online shopping site.

Whilst comparing the pictures, try to compare the details like the logo of the manufacturer, the loops, the arrows, the dial, the numbers, spelling errors such like Rolez instead of Rolex.

2.Research More

You can take the printout of the watch’s picture shown on the shopping site and take it to a watch store to confirm whether the details match or not. Alternatively, you can research on the watch forums and see what others think about the watch. Soon people start responding to you and you will learn more details about that watch such as what company manufactures the duplicate watches or from which country do they come from.

3.Reference Number on the Warranty Card

Checkout the reference number that is shown on the warranty card of the watch. Try to compare it with the original manufacturer of the watch and also put the details on the discussion forums or on websites on stolen watch were people can reply to you if they know anything about the stolen watch.

4.Check if you are buying from a reliable site: When you buy online, make sure you are on a high security web transaction process in the form of ‘https’ where ‘s’ stands for security. If the page you are purchasing from do not have an http page instead of ‘https’, you would rather get a secure site where you know that you bank or credit card details are not compromised with.

5.Check with the watch retailer or dealer: You can take the model number of the watch or take a scanned copy of the picture of the watch online and ask the retailer more information about the brand. You can also check the price with the retailer and make a decision.

6.You can check the refund policy of the website: Find out what the refund policy of the shopping website and under what conditions you can return the watch if you find it to be cheap imitation of the real one or if it has other defects. Also find out from people about how their experience has been, whilst shopping from that website and how they deal with refunds.
