I've recently bought a Michael Kors Chronographic Glitz watch in Rose Gold, it's a beautiful watch but I've been having bad experiences with this.

First off, I was unable to get the strap adjusted when I bought it because they said their adjusting pin device was broken. So I went to another Michael Kors store location to get it adjusted. The sales lady brought it to the back, and came back out (after I've just been standing there waiting for like 10 minutes) and said that their adjusting pin device just broke, so she gave me back the watch intact. I looked at it, and there were scratches all over the chain links (looks like they attempted to adjust it, but ended up just scratching the pin all over it instead)! I said "...ummm why is it so scratched up?" She apologizes, and took it to the back again to get it "fixed."

While I stood there again waiting for another 10 minutes, I hear banging of a small hammer from the back. She came back out and gave me my watch, adjusted (although not at the right length -__-") and gave me my spare links that they took out. I looked at the spare links, and they were even MORE scratched up than before! They weren't even scratches anymore, more like DENTS! I was pretty pissed, I mean, it's a new $340 watch that they just fucked up. SO I said "...how did this get scratched up even more??" The lady said that she can order replacement links from Fossil for me free of charge, and that I'll just have to come back to get them a few weeks later. Last time I went in and checked they said it'll take a few more weeks to arrive.

In the end, I just brought it to a friend to adjust it for me.

Another issue that I had, was looking at the watch today (it's been a month since I bought it), I noticed that it was a full 4 minutes behind. That's kinda disappointing, I wonder if they'll fix that under warranty, but at the same time I won't want to go through the hassle of sending it in and waiting months to get it back.

Long story short, this is how I found out that FOSSIL makes Michael Kors watches, and other branded watches as well.

So I started looking at the Fossil watches and all of them are less than half the price of my MK watch, with a longer warranty of up to 11 years for some watches while my MK watch has only a 2-year warranty.

Talk about more bang for your buck.

Although I admit that I think the MK watches have more details in them, you'll end up paying triple for the brand.
