Watch grades range from low-end (A-grade, entry-level, quartz) to high-end (AAA, Super Cs.), with “super cs” being the most accurate, using high-quality materials and complex movements that closely mimic the national brand watch. The quality is determined by factors like materials, movement accuracy, and attention to micro-details, with higher grades costing more.
| GRADE | DESCRIPTION | MATERIALS | MOVEMENT | DETAILS |
| Super Cl. / 1:1 | The highest quality, intended to be nearly identical to the original, splash resistant for longer lasting durability. | High-grade materials like stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and premium leather. | Advanced, often custom-made mechanical or automatic movements that mimic the national brand’s functions. | Meticulous attention to detail, including weight, logos, text, and micro-engravings. Differences mostly noticed only if side by side the national comparison or by expert. |
| AAA | A high-quality tier below super clones, offering a good balance of quality and price, splash resistant for long lasting durability. | Typically uses 316L stainless steel and other mid-range materials. | Often features Japanese Miyota, NH35 or ETA clone movements. | May lack some of the micro-(details not always noticed with the naked eye), or weight balance approximate to national example. Differences mostly noticed only if side by side the national comparison, or by expert. |
| A Entry-Level | The lowest tier, focused mainly on appearance. Quartz entry level budget. | Lower-quality materials such as cheaper stainless steel and mineral glass that can scratch. | Basic quartz or low-end automatic movements with lower accuracy, lighter in weight, not water resistant. | Lacks durability and detail; may not look convincing up close. |
