How to Spot a High-Quality Watch – Expert Tips from Morotim
Let’s be honest: in a world full of cheap imitations and overpriced designer logos, it’s hard to tell whether a watch is truly worth your money. At Morotim, we believe everyone deserves a well-built, stylish timepiece—so here’s how to recognize real quality when shopping for your next wristwatch.
1. Material Matters
High-quality watches use durable materials like stainless steel, sapphire or hardened glass, and genuine leather or solid metal bands. Avoid lightweight plastic or thin metal that dents easily. Our Morotim watches are crafted with 316L stainless steel—resistant to rust, corrosion, and everyday wear.

2. Movement Is the Heart of the Watch
A good movement means accurate time and long life. Look for Quartz or Automatic movement from trusted sources like Japan or Switzerland. All Morotim watches feature precision quartz movement, offering excellent timekeeping with minimal maintenance.

3. Weight & Finish
A real watch has a certain weight to it—not too heavy, but never flimsy. The finish should be smooth, with no sharp edges or rattling parts. From our skeleton dial men’s models to elegant ladies’ pearl watches, Morotim prioritizes excellent craftsmanship.
4. Water Resistance
Even if you don’t swim with your watch, it should handle rain, handwashing, or a spill. Look for at least 3 ATM water resistance. Morotim’s waterproof models are perfect for everyday life in South Africa—from coastal humidity to busy urban days.
5. Warranty & Brand Transparency
High-end brands stand behind their products. At Morotim, every purchase comes with a local warranty, and our team is based right here in South Africa. No vague claims or offshore runarounds—just real people, real service.
