Super clone watch are essentially counterfeit products that infringe on brand intellectual property rights. Purchasing such products inherently carries legal, intellectual property, and other risks. If you insist on purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the following aspects and clarify that your related behavior is not protected by positive legal protection:
Facing legal risks: In China, the production and sale of super cloned watches are considered infringement due to unauthorized use of well-known brand trademarks, imitation of appearance designs, etc. Although the simple purchase behavior of ordinary consumers generally does not directly constitute a criminal offense, the purchased products may be seized and detained by market regulatory authorities at any time. If one knowingly assists in the dissemination or resale of infringing products, it may also involve joint infringement and be liable for civil compensation and other liabilities.
Be wary of quality and promotional traps: On the one hand, carefully inspect the product quality to see if the case is polished smooth and free of burrs, if the dial printing is clear and the scale is neat, if the strap material is tough, and at the same time, briefly test whether the travel time is smooth and whether various functions are normal, to avoid buying inferior products with case fading, poor movement quality, and significant travel errors. On the other hand, we should be wary of false advertising by merchants. Some merchants may falsely claim that their products use the same movement and material as the genuine ones, in order to raise prices. Consumers need to understand the corresponding material, movement, and other information of the genuine products in advance to avoid being deceived.
Careful selection of purchasing channels: This type of watch has no formal sales channels, and the quality of online and offline merchants varies. When making online purchases, do not trust unqualified individual sellers on social media platforms, as the risk of losing contact and sending counterfeit goods after receiving payment is extremely high; Offline purchases should avoid mobile vendors. Even if choosing a merchant with a seemingly good reputation, it is necessary to verify the product on the spot, while keeping chat records, transfer vouchers, etc., in order to have a basis for rights protection in case of disputes in the future.
Rationally consider price and after-sales service: There is no unified pricing standard for super cloned watches, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. Low prices are likely to correspond to inferior products, while high prices may also be a premium for merchants. It is necessary to make rational judgments based on one’s own expectations of quality, and not be deceived by the gimmick of “high-end replica” and blindly buy at a high price. In addition, there is basically no formal after-sales service for these products, and most merchants do not provide warranty. When the watch has problems such as movement failure or strap damage, it is difficult to find reliable repair channels. Before purchasing, it is necessary to be mentally prepared for the difficulties of subsequent repairs.
