Even if they are the most legitimate watches, labels like Gucci, Armani, Diesel, etc, do not make watches. They just license their name to watch manufacturers (most likely Fossil) to sell in department stores.

When you buy a real watch brand, you are paying a lot for the name, but also a lot for the construction of the watch itself. When you buy a labeled watch, you are paying a lot for the name, and most likely there will just be a cheap watch inside.

Whether that matters or not is totally up to you. If you buy Gucci anything else, you are blowing money on nothing but brand anyway, so there's no real reason not to do it with watches.
