Default Where to buy watch online?

I want to buy a Movado Fiero.



The Movado store has it for $2995.
Jacobtime.com has it for $1422.

Click here for the watch at Jacobtime.com

Has anybody ever dealt with Jacobtime.com? They guarantee that the watch is authentic but they are not an authorized Movado dealer so they can't offer the Movado 2 year manufacturer's warranty. Instead, they have their own 2 year warrantee.

I guess that the only drawback with buying from Jacobtime is that if the watch breaks I have to ship it out to them to get it repaired.

Is there anything else I should watch out for? For some reason, $1500 off sounds too good to be true!

I am a first time watch buyer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

authenticwatches.com. I have bought a couple of watches from this site - 100% satisfied.

IMO, you can find Movado watches all over the place with those kinds of discounts. The high-end watch boutiques have actually stopped carrying them because they can't compete with non-authorized dealers for half the price.

I wouldn't trust a non authorized dealer on a purchase close to $2k.. seriously, who knows what they're going to pull if something breaks?

FWIW, Zales.com has it for $2,995.00. Either youre getting a great deal or its not an authentic Movado

Who buys a watch from Zales Sure if you want to get 10% off then buy from Zales. Otherwise - You can find that most higher end watches can get bought for 25% or more off.
