If you think that nothing hurts more than a breakup, you’ve never had to pay the full original price of a watch and see it turn out to be a fake one. It’s worse than a heartbreak, especially for a watch enthusiast. Unfortunately, there are way too many sellers out there who sell fake watches in the name of real ones and since we know what it feels like, Replica Review listed for you the top five differences between genuine and fake watches so that you can watch out for yourself the next time!
-
Look out for the ticking noise
Fake watches tick, real watches don’t. High-end companies prepare their watches while giving attention to all the small details. Therefore, their watches won’t make the ticking noise that can normally be heard when you put a fake watch’s dial or case-back to your ears.
-
Pay close attention to the logo
Fake watches usually do not have a flawless logo like the genuine ones do. Check for spelling mistakes, font mistakes or spacing mistakes in the logo of the watch. While you’re at it, also check the font of the numbers on the dial. You can look up the original watch on the internet to see how it should actually look like and then compare.
-
Check the exact weight of the watch
The weight of fake watches is usually lighter than the weight of the real ones. You should look up the weight of the genuine watch that you want to buy and then compare it to the weight of the watch you’re purchasing. If it’s significantly different, the watch is fake.
-
Check for imprints
Real watches usually have several imprints of their logos in several areas. Research where the imprints of your watch are placed online and then see if all of them are in place on the watch.
-
Authenticate the serial number of the watch
Each watch has a specific serial number. The font and printing of the serial number can tell you if the watch is real or fake.
What do you look out for when shopping for watches? Have you ever bought a fake watch before?

While I’ve been ever bought a fake watch before, I HAVE bought multiple fake handbags, and that’s a heart break for sure. I would have never thought to check the weight though! That’s great advice.
Many people don’t check so you are not alone. Makes sense to check especially if you are buying a very expensive watch.
I haven’t purchased a watch in so long, I wouldn’t know where to begin to look. Thank you for pointing out the differences. Now when I do go to make that purchase, I’ll have an idea of what to look for.
Glad you found the post useful Mary. Thanks for stopping by.
Very informative post which need to be shared as most people are buying fake watches on a daily basis because they cannot different between the original and fake. I totally agree with point number 3 and 4 checking for the weight and imprint. Thanks for sharing
Glad you like the post Matthew. Thanks for reading.
Oh wow I didn’t know about the ticking! I will have to have a listen out for that next time I buy a watch.

Yea. It is a great tip.
Interesting, I never even gave it much thought. Of course, I am sure it helps to buy from a reputable dealer as well.
Yes it does John. Best to buy from a reputable dealer.
Very informative post, people generally gets confused which one is fake and which one is genuine. This post definitely gives very important differences between a fake and a genuine one. Loved it.
Glad you like the post. Thanks for reading.
My son bought a fake watch and was heartbroken when it arrived – he learned his lesson!!
Awww what a shame.
They all look chic but of course quality wins at the end of the day and it’s for that reason I’ll always choose a real watch regardless of the price. You’re guaranteed to get what you pay for.
Yea! We get what we pay for.
Again you have a great title that caught people attention!!
Happy to hear that 😊
