About this video

Centeno provides five tips for purchasing quality watches without being deceived, drawing from his personal experience buying counterfeit watches in Hong Kong. He emphasizes the importance of education, understanding value beyond price, ensuring buyer protection, recognizing pricing economics across different watch categories, and selecting a watch you’ll actually enjoy wearing.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that educating yourself through forums, blogs, and brand-specific resources is essential before purchasing a watch
• Centeno defines watch value as frequency of wear multiplied by how it makes you feel, divided by price—not price alone
• Centeno recommends buying from reputable sellers and manufacturers with warranties to ensure buyer protection and recourse for defects
• Centeno categorizes watches by price tier: under $250 (consumer/fashion), $250-$1000 (higher-end, requires caution), $1000-$10000 (luxury), and above $10000 (ultra-luxury)
• Centeno emphasizes purchasing a watch you will genuinely wear and enjoy rather than treating it as an investment
