Answer
Spotting a knock-off is more difficult than you may think. Use the tips below as a checklist to avoid buying a fake.

1. Location, Location, Location
First and foremost, purchasing luxury goods at a brandâs boutique, website or authorized dealer is your best bet to insure buying a genuine product. Items at flea markets, home parties, from street vendors, or unauthorized websites are likely to be fake.

2. The Price is Right
Quality and exclusivity account for the high price of luxury goods. Thus, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

3. Construction Sites
Craftsmanship is a main point of distinction with luxury goods. Sloppy stitches in less visible areasâsuch as the underside of a product or inside pocketsâis likely the result of counterfeit production.

4. Package Deal
Luxury retailers meticulously package their products, including tissue paper, authenticity cards, product care information, superior quality boxes, and shopping bags. If you see a plastic wrap covering or a flimsy dust bag, it's probably a fake. For example, counterfeit manufacturers will often wrap the handles of handbags in plastic.

5. Spell-check
Counterfeiters will often misspell designer names. Check for letters that are swapped or a letter that is capitalized that shouldnât be, and vice versa.

6. Check the Hardware
With most luxury accessories, you will find the logo on all the metal pieces, such as zippers, latches, snaps, and buckles.

7. Read the Label
In a genuine article of luxury clothing, most often the label is stitched in, whereas counterfeit clothes are likely to have a less expensive hangtag. Also, check the country of origin on the label.

8. Timely Tips
Makers of fake watches may not replicate unusual features, such as a helium relief valve. If the feature is available, often times it does not function.

What is the Standard Market Segmentation for Watches? Price? Country/Manufactured?

Hi,

I have several questions:

1) For the question: "What are the RANGES / SEGMENTS of luxury watches available?"
http://www.chronocentric.com/watches/brands.shtml#breakdown

I would like to know how the watches were classified in segments, what parameters were taken into account.

2) Do you agree or disagree with the following market segmentations.
Would you consider the following segmentation the "standard" one for watch companies.

2.1 MARKET SEGMENTATION by Chronocentric.com

Four Major Market Segments:
-Mass Market Watches (Less than $50)
Sub-segments
* Fun Fashion Watches
* Sports Watches
* Character and Sports Logo Watches
-Middle Market Watches ($50-$299)
-Upper Middle Market Watches ($300-$999)
-Luxury and High Luxury Market ($1,000-$5,000 or More)

2.2 MARKET SEGMENTATION by "Market For Watches" Report.

-Mass
-Middle
-Upper Middle
-Luxury Market and High Luxury



2.3 MARKET SEGMENTATION by "New Criteria for Market Segmentation by Daniel Yankelovich".
www.danyankelovich.com/newcriteria.pdf

In this first case we deal with a relatively simple mode of segmentation analysis. The most
productive way of analyzing the market for watches turns out to be segmentation by value. This
approach discloses three distinct segments, each representing a different value attributed to watches
by each of three different groups of consumers:

-People who want to pay the lowest possible price for any watch that works reasonably
well. If the watch fails after six months or a year, they will throw it out and replace it.
-People who value watches for their long life, good workmanship, good material, and good
styling. They are willing to pay for these product qualities.
-People who look not only for useful product features but also for meaningful emotional
qualities. The most important consideration in this segment is that the watch should suitably
symbolize an important occasion. Consequently, fine styling, a well-known brand name, the
recommendation of the jeweler, and a gold or diamond case are highly valued.

2.4 MARKET SEGMENTATION by "andhranews"

...in terms of range of luxury

- the basic range starts with 200 to 2000 dollars.
-The super-luxury watches cost 2,000 to 20,000 dollars.
-the prestige section may set you back by over 200,000 dollars.

http://www.andhranews.net/India/2009/January/14-Luxury-watch-industry-



Which one is the STANDARD / WATCH INDUSTRY SEGMENTATION?

3) In which segment would you place the following brands:

-RADO: ex. http://fon.gs/rado/ for 2,600 $.
-CITIZEN: ex. http://fon.gs/citizen/ for 676.60 $.
-EBOHR: http://fon.gs/ebohr for 480 $
-Seiko (in general)






It would be a lot to ask to actually put all the well known brands in their category?

Do you think RADO watches are overpriced?
What brand offers the best value/quality? Citizen?

Thanks for reading, hopefully you will find my questions interesting -and I will receive a response :-)
