Anyone have Experience with eWatches site?

**ellsbebc** · 02-14-2011, 06:37 AM

I am looking to buy a new watch or two. ewatches has the best prices online for the two I am looking at, by more than $50 each. The few reviews I have seen are questionable. Does anyone have experience purchasing from them?

**sloop** · 02-14-2011, 07:22 AM

I would definitely stay away. Seems shady.

Look at the buyer feedback here: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/eWatches

Buy from a legitimate place like Amazon and have piece of mind. Or if you have limited funds and want to save some money, once in a while I'll pick up a used watch in the seller's market on watchuseek.com if you're willing to go that route. You can check the seller's feedback and get a good idea how reliable/honest they are. I've never had a problem buying from a private seller on there.

What are you looking to buy? Model? Price range, etc?

Ah...forgot you are a watch lover.

Nothing too bulky. Have found metal links to irritate my skin so looking for leather straps. Something I can wear casuel but also look professional. I really like the Emporio Armani one

Here are the two I was looking at:

What price range are you looking at, maybe I can suggest something? The 2 you listed were $70 and $177, so quite a price difference. I assume you like quartz, as opposed to automatic watches that you have to wind or wear every day to keep the battery charged?

I am, in fact, a watch guy and have many.

Here's a site to check out, it's a round up of the many 'deal a day' watch sites across the internet and put into one place.

http://watchdoddy.com/

Check it periodically, it changes every day obviously, so if you dont see anything you like today check back tomorrow morning. You can snag some good deals on there.

That one for $177 is toward top of price range. Just really liked the look of it so was possibly going to purchase

EDIT: thanks for that site too. Being quartz or automatic does not matter to me

Mondaine makes some nice, clean looking watches.

http://www.amazon.com/Mondaine-A660-...7704151&sr=1-9

It's only 38mm, so it won't fit big on your wrist so you dont have to worry about looking like Kanye West or anything. There are a couple different varieties (with date window, polished vs. brushed casing, etc) depending on your budget.

http://www.amazon.com/Mondaine-A667-...704462&sr=1-27

This one is 41mm, which is just a tad bigger than the previous. I have a 7.5" wrist and 41mm looks right on my wrist. I can pull off a 43mm sometimes.

http://www.amazon.com/Stuhrling-Orig...704151&sr=1-11

For $70, I think this looks pretty classy. It looks an awful lot like a $700 Stowa Antea 390 which sell for $700+. Its only 37.5mm so it will also fit nice on your wrist and not look gawdy.

Stick with amazon. Recently purchased a beautiful puma watch and much cheaper than in stores

do you really need your watch to tell you what day of the week it is???

IMO more is less when it comes to the inside of a watch, i hate when people have a watch with tons of crap they will NEVER use on it

I usually prefer simplicity with my watches but occasionally a different look catches my eye

Thanks for looking some up Sloop. Not too familiar with all the watch brands so need to educate myself.

Side note, received my Universal whey C&C today. Cannot wait to try it tonight and compare against MP
