Easy Tells For Fake Citizen Watches

Check the watch manual for the correct model and serial numbers. If the watch came with a user manual, check that carefully for errors in logos, spelling and dates.

On the back of the watch case, it should be engraved with serial and model numbers, you should be able to match those to the ones on the user manual. Every Citizen watch will feature the Citizen logo on the watch face, inspect the logo to see if it is the official logo and if the print quality is high.

How To Tell If Your Citizen Watch Is Real

If you purchased a watch and it came with an official user manual with a manufacturer's warranty, it’s highly likely you got a real Citizen watch. If you aren’t sure if you own a real Citizen watch, go online and find an official high-quality image of a Citizen watch and compare the watch hands and dial text for any differences in printing quality. Another easy way to tell if your watch is real is if your watch strap has engraved branding and logos. Normally cheap fakes will simply have the text printed and not engraved into the material.
