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.

^This guy knows.
Think of it as paying 3-10x more for a $100 Fossil watch with Gucci print on it.
IMO if you're looking for a Quartz for that price range, go for the Swiss made. Looks like you already have a Tissot. (Good choice)
I do also have a guilty pleasure of buying a bunch of cheaper Quartz strictly for looks (Fossil, Nixon, Vestal.. I think my next one will be a Meister.) But I'd never pay over 200-300ish for one.
But if you really like the looks of the Gucci, then go for it. You're the one wearing it. A couple people I know said the black watches scratch easily though.. Just something to keep in mind.
