Seems reasonably valid, can be found with an easy google search for pretty much the same prices elsewhere.

I agree watch experts are a bunch of nerds. They certainly do.

Emporio watches have always been quite cheap, they're not one of the big "premium" brands.

Pick a different watch, you are paying all that money for the Armani logo. Check out some Seiko watches in this price range.

So what does that mean lol. I was asking if it looks like a fake or not

Cheap crappy watch, paying for the name. Simple.

It's not a 'fake'. It's just a watch that armarni have put their badge on. Probably cost them a few quid.

Id get a decent watch with that money!

It's fulfilled by Amazon (which I understand is third party companies keeping stock in Amazon's warehouses), so less likely to be fake. And you're not paying fake money.

How can we possibly determine that from a link? Buy it and find out.

Ok sir

its doubtful it would be fake as the "real" one doesnt have a high value, theres no point in faking cheap watches.

it will just be a bog standard watch with a badge on, which is a real armani watch.

the fake one however would be a bog standard watch with a badge on....

... oh.

Once i get it how will i tell its fake

[TW]Sponge · 4 Jun 2013 at 21:26

It's not fake. But for that price range I would rather a leather strapped Citizen Eco-Drive.

Go to a watch shop, if you don't know a lot about it I doubt you'll be able to tell.

It definitely wont be fake though.

go on some watch forum where people are into the cheaper 'fashion' watches and someone would probably have a guide....

As has been pointed out it is unlikely to be a fake as the genuine watch itself is just a very basic generic watch with a logo on it and has relatively low appeal as far as watches go.

It's an over priced fashion watch with a quartz movement worth a few pounds, no point in faking as production costs would be no different from the original.
