Watch questions?!

[courtneyh]

I did a search and couldnt find anything, so sorry in advance if this has been posted before!

About a 1 1/2 years ago or so I bought a Michael Kors watch from Bloomingdales, it feel apart after wearing it for 3 days, exchanged it for another one, and that one broke after a week. I was told that the style watch I had was having a lot of problems with it, and to wait to purchase it until the second wave of watches come out, if that makes any sense?! So I gave up and purchased a Michele Watch. I still really want a Michael Kors watch for an everyday watch, but I dont want to deal with it breaking.

So my question is, and I hope this makes sense. You can purchase Michael Kors watches at a lot of retailers, as well from Michael Kors. Are they the exact same watches, or are the one from Bloomingdales and such stores, cheaper made? The reason I ask is because Bloomingdales and such stores have really good sales sometimes, but purchasing it from Michael Kors there are no deals.

Hope this made sense?!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi.....
No, the price has more to do with the store and not the quality of the watch. Dept. stores have more leeway in adjusting prices. Think of Coach, for example. You can get good prices on Coach bags and accessories, but it doesn't mean that the bags are defective or of lesser quality.
Your issue with the watch was a different issue and had to do with the manufacturer. They were probably waiting for a fresh shipment in the hopes that the manufacturer would have corrected the problem.
Sometimes you will find seconds at outlet type of stores, but that's not the case here.
