Buying a watch online is normally a very straightforward and simple process – provided you know exactly what you want to buy and precisely where you want to buy it. This guide is designed to help the many people who are understandably confused or even intimidated by the process of determining both how to choose a watch to buy online and some good options of where to buy it. This guide isn’t going to tell you the wristwatch decision that is right for you, nor is it going to recommend one retailer or sales channel where you’ll get the best service, price, or selection. Rather, the aBlogtoWatch guide to buying watches online is designed as a primer for helping you to understand the differences between various ways to shop online as well as pitfalls which are often easy to avoid if you know what to look out for.

SOME OPENING THOUGHTS

Depending on the particular watch you are looking for, there could be literally dozens or more offers for the same watch model online at any given time, or you could find information and pricing information but no clear way to actually purchase the watch you are interested in. Even if you don’t actually perform a monetary transaction to purchase a watch on the internet, online watch shopping and research is relied upon by almost everyone who is interested in buying a watch these days. Not doing your research will typically lead to spending too much money, or simply passing up other watches that match your needs better than a timepiece you purchase impulsively. Having said that, with the amount of information available online today, we’d determined that the vast majority of luxury wristwatch buyers do at least some online research before buying anything.

As we said, this guide isn’t designed to help you choose exactly what watch to buy. If you are having difficulty first choosing a watch that you are interested in purchasing, a lot (and lots) of other information on aBlogtoWatch is designed to help you learn about interesting brands and models – some of which are bound to meet your taste and budget. When we talk about choosing what watch to buy in the context of this guide, what we are talking about are considerations such as whether to buy a new or used watch, one from an authorized dealer or one from an unauthorized secondary market dealer. While in theory all of these watches should be the same, not all watches come with complete paperwork and their original packaging, with a warranty, and some are checked for functionality before being sold while others are more or less in “as-is” condition.
 
Thanks for the article but, at least for me, that's *WAY* too much thinking. :dizzy:

Thank goodness I only can afford the cheaper brands so I don't have to put anywhere near that much thought into the buying process. :lol:
