Is Armani Watch 800 real?

False.

At the Armani watch counter on the first floor of Intime Department Store Hangzhou Culture Plaza, a young male salesperson carefully compared the watches on the website with the watches introduced through formal channels at the counter and said that although it was only It was impossible to tell the authenticity based on the pictures, but there were many doubts on the group buying website that could not withstand scrutiny, enough for him to conclude that "this is a blatant act of selling fakes."

First of all, the "market price" of the watch marked on the webpage is completely inconsistent with the counter price. Take an ARMANI Retro series simple gentleman's multifunctional quartz men's watch (model: AR0398/0387) as an example, the group purchase website The marked market price (original price) is 3,950 yuan. Although the same watch is available at counters, the original price is 4,090 yuan.

The salesperson said that the prices at all Armani watch counters are uniform across the country. Even during shopping mall celebrations or year-end sales, there are rarely discounts, let alone discounts of less than 50% off and less than 50% off. Sold for 1,000 yuan.

In addition, in his opinion, many Armani watch styles on the website are either outdated products and have long been withdrawn from over-the-counter retail; or they are styles that Armani has never sold; The belt is more or less different from the genuine product at the counter.

The reporter tried to get in touch with this watch store, but after browsing all the product information webpages, his phone number and other contact methods were not found. He only found the unified after-sales hotline provided by the group buying website.

After calling the 400 hotline, the customer service staff Ms. Fu said, “It is unscientific for the counter to assume that the goods are fake because of the low price in the online store, because the source of the goods on the website omits a lot of information. There are intermediate links and costs, so it is normal for the prices of watches on the website to be significantly lower than those in physical stores.

In addition, the professional knowledge possessed by the counter does not mean that its identification results are scientific or completely correct; Not providing inspection, in my understanding, means that it is impossible for the counter to help issue relevant certificates, and the counter’s opinion on whether the actual product is authentic can only be used as a reference. ”
