Why It's Worth Buying Watches in the USA
There are three reasons for this phenomenon:
- Substantial savings. Russian stores also bring their watches (especially American brands) from the USA. Only – with a markup for their own services, for customs clearance, for VAT, store rent, sellers' salaries, and so on. As a result, watches manufactured in the USA may cost one and a half to two, or even three times more in Russia. It depends on the model and its rarity. By buying directly in America, you can easily save several thousand, and sometimes even several tens of thousands of rubles. At the same time, you can be confident that you really got original watches, not a fake.
- Large selection. No more than 10% of the entire abundance of models sold in the USA are brought to the Russian Federation. If you want something special, and not just the most common models, it's enough to find and order watches from America to Russia from the manufacturer's website or from the largest online stores that work with them directly. There will be many times more offers there, and sometimes you can even get a good discount.
- New models. The first models are always brought to the USA, and only after several months (or even years) do they reach Russia. This applies to both Apple Watch and expensive Bulova and Timex. Only in America, this world fair, can you find rare editions, limited series, and the most unusual models. Thousands of versions of elite watches for children, the most elegant models for women, a huge selection of unisex watches – in the USA you'll find everything your heart desires.
The advantages of buying abroad are obvious, and only one question remains: where is the best place in the USA to get watches? Let's briefly go through this question.
Watch Stores in the USA Worth Paying Attention To
The main internet store. It has everything! From the cheapest models for ten dollars to elite models for tens of thousands. Almost two hundred thousand (!) different watches, often with good discounts. It's easy to get lost in such variety, but if you already have watches that you want to buy or roughly know what to filter, this is the place for you.
The oldest online watch store in the USA, operating for almost thirty years and bringing together all the most popular brands. The selection isn’t as large as on Amazon, but all goods are high quality (from $100-$200), and discounts are constant. The coolest of them can be found here. Shipping is available only to a US address.
A discount store with constant discounts from 5% to 70% on various models. Electronic watches are sold too, at very low prices. It also sells wallets and elite pens. Everything for a gift to a respectable gentleman. The selection is very small, but such discounts can be forgiven.
One of the most famous online stores for elite watches in America. If you have a strict budget, sort by the lowest price or the biggest discounts. That’s the only way to find something under $150. On average, models from a thousand dollars and up are sold here. From forty top brands (Chanel, Bulova, Prada, Tudor, Citizen, and so on). Here you can buy watches for $20,000 and get a 25% discount on them. That’s why this store is loved.
The main online auction, which has recently also been trying to become a full-fledged store. Thousands of large companies operate through it, including watch manufacturers. A big advantage of eBay – you can even find models that have long been discontinued and can’t be bought anywhere else. Many used models are also sold here for a fraction of the price. If that doesn’t interest you, filter by New in the list on the left. Also, always pay attention to the seller’s rating and what exactly is being sold to you.
Relatively inexpensive models, very good discounts that are updated daily. Everything is new and authentic.
Another watch site from America. It specializes in mid-range devices but also sells them at very good discounts. Before buying on other sites, check if the item is here or on WorldOfWatches, in case it can be bought 2-3 times cheaper.
Not the store people think of first because of its watches. But the company is actively expanding its collection, and now it has over 9 thousand models in stock. Prices are often the lowest on the market. Its collection of inexpensive items is especially pleasing – they look elite but actually cost $20-$50.
Best watch brands from the USA
If you don't want to buy from large stores – here are a few websites of the manufacturers themselves.
The oldest American watch company. Founded back in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, an emigrant from Bohemia. This company made the first wristwatches in the USA, the first watches for women, became the first watch company to advertise on radio (in 1931) and on television (in 1941). Its Accutron watches became NASA watches and traveled both into space and to the Moon.
The site itself does not sell directly; it only describes the products in detail and redirects to other retailers' sites.
Founded in 2012 as a spin-off of Fossil. Based in Detroit; movements are Japanese Miyota and Swiss Ronda. A big fan of these watches now is former US President Bill Clinton.
Founded in 1992, specializes in elite and very expensive watches ($10 000). Its products are made in small batches, produced exclusively at a factory in Pennsylvania. All watches feature one of the company's three patented movements. The brand's feature is guilloché dials, which is not often found outside Switzerland and Germany.
The company was founded in 1998 by watchmaking student Michael Kobold, who learned watchmaking from masters in Munich. It produces relatively expensive watches ($3 500) designed for harsh weather conditions. They are worn by polar explorers, Everest conquerors, and extreme sports enthusiasts. For example, the Polar Surveyor model has a second time zone and a chronograph, and can even operate at -70 ºC. All parts are made in America, except for the leather straps, which are woven in Nepal by the local population.
Also known as DWC. Watches from a thousand dollars. The brand was created in 2013 by the family of industrial designers – Amy and Patrick Ayoub. They spent many decades working on watch designs for third-party companies, and then decided to launch their own brand. DWC watches are renowned primarily for their design.
A New York brand founded in 2014. The design is inspired by chronographs and other measuring instruments. They feature more color and more details. Models can be customized: choose the desired dial, strap, hands, and so on. Assembly is done in America; movements are Japanese Miyota. These watches can currently only be bought in the USA; they are not yet physically sold in Russia.
An American clothing brand that also produces perfumes, jewelry, and watches. Founded in 1981, based in Los Angeles.
One of the oldest American watches – the company was founded back in 1892 by the Ingersoll brothers, with the support of Henry Ford. The brothers were pioneers, being the first to use the assembly line method in watch production. Accordingly, the price of watches here is not the highest either. However, in 1989, the rights to the American brand were bought by British Zeon, and now Ingersoll's main office is located in London.
Known for producing its smartwatches and trackers. For fitness, underwater sports, and even aviation. Mid-to-high prices.
Founded in Switzerland in 1837, but during the quartz boom it failed to adapt and was eventually bought by an American company. It is known for producing watches for Soviet submariners, which now cost hundreds of thousands of dollars as an important item for collectors. Currently, the brand offers hundreds of watches of all kinds of prices, from inexpensive models made in China to elite watches produced in Switzerland.
The brand of the most famous (and most successful) American designer Michael Kors. In 2018, it even bought Versace for $2.2 billion. It produces elegant watches. To access the American version of the site, select USA in the upper left corner.
Became known in 1984 thanks to the production of various accessories, including sunglasses and handbags. Now it also produces clothing, jewelry, and various watches. The watch offering is very wide, with hundreds of different models for women and men, divided into several series. There are even several dozen smartwatches that successfully compete with market leaders.
Founded in 1941 by two Norwegian emigrants. They bought the building of an old bankrupt watch factory and managed to bring it back to life. The brand became one of the first producers of quartz and sports watches with electronics in the USA. It sells the world's best watches for runners and cyclists. As a rule, the price of these watches from America is very low (from $140), and almost every model has some technical feature, despite their classic design.
