There are a few general rules of distinguishing between an authentic watch and a replica one.

First of all, you should study the price range for the model you are going to buy. Keep in mind that authentic Swiss watches are generally distributed by official representatives at just slightly different prices. It is more reliable to buy a watch via official distributors of the brand.

Pay attention at the documents and package the watch is sold with. It should be available with all the necessary documents, including the certificate of authenticity.

You can also consult the TAG Heuer watch catalog – you can find one online. Compare the wristwatch sold with its analog in the catalog or on the official website of the brand and read its description. Replica watches often feature minor differences in their functionality, design and even the name.

One more important detail is that Swiss watches are provided with a two-year warranty (sometimes three years).

A professional watchmaker can also tell you whether the watch is authentic after examining its movement.

You can visit the official TAG Heuer website to find out more about the model you need, discover online retailers and the nearest store locations.
