Cheap Watches

There is a big market for watches, particularly those with a retail price in the range $50 - $500. Watches that fall into this price bracket tend to be in line with what the general population can afford.

There are three occasions in particular that mark the purchase of a watch.

The first is during childhood. Many children receive a cheap watch for their 5 th birthday, marking the beginning of school life. Watches based on a favorite TV and movie character are particularly sort after.

When these children reach their 18th or 21st birthday, they are often given a more expensive watch, destined to last a life time. The canny wholesaler who imports cheap designer watches can often do very well by targeting this market.

Finally, top of the range watches are a popular present item to mark a special occasion such as an anniversary, engagement, or mid-life birthday.
