I have a fossil watch with ES-1426 3000601 model number. Wanted to know if it's fake or genuine. Where can I find the authenticity of this? A friend just gave it to me.

Serial numbers are always in the back of the case or on the movement. Take to a local jeweler.

Is it still under warranty for repair?

Hello, Lorsam -

With just the one not-so-sharp image of the watch back, it is hard to tell.

I suggest you take the watch to a jeweler in your area, where they sell genuine Armani watches and ask one of the individuals working there to evaluate the watch to determine if it is a genuine Armani Emporio watch. You may have to pay the jeweler for his / her time and expertise.

Note: I had to save the image you posted and enhance it with photo software and I still could not read all the printing on the back of the watch in the image.

Read the information here regarding how to identify a genuine Armani wristwatch from a fake one;

One will still need to check with Armani directly regarding any serial number/s found on the watch band, on the exterior, or within the watch works to determine if the serial number/s are assigned to a genuine Emporio Armani wristwatch.

Best wishes.

many watch sold online has no warranty on outside the u.s. because many of them carries many watch brand not only fossil itself. but if the warranty is your only problem, forget about it. in the phillippines you can find many service center which can repair your watch at a low price. where is your location in the phillippines so that i can give you the addresses of the sevice centers. it is fake or not? the watches sold online is not fake. there are some selling imitation watches but not fossil. last year my friend bought a fossil online, i have checked it, i found it is genuine. he ordered again casio brand it is genuine too. but if you are not really sure about it. just buy on the mall in the phillppines L-time studio carries fossil and they have fossil stores. that you can choose comfortably without the thinking that it may be a fake watch. ok na? i hope I had been helped you.

As with luxury bags, luxury watch brands such as Movado are copied and sold illegally. Movado watches are popular among both men and women, but sellers of replica watches hurt the brand by providing the buyer with poor craftsmanship. Dealers know what genuine Movado watches look like, and they are familiar with the watch model names and numbering system. While you can take your watch to a dealer to closely inspect its authenticity, you, too, can learn how to tell if your Movado watch is fake by noting a few details.

Check the material the watch is made of. Replica watches are made of aluminum, and they don't have the same heavy weight of an authentic Movado. Movado watches should feel like quality, solid pieces. True Movado watches are made of stainless steel.Observe the movement of the watch. The movement of the second hand should not be erratic or shaky. It should look smooth as it travels across the face of the watch.
Look closely for scratches on the glass face. Movado watches are scratch resistant, so any imperfection on the face is a telling sign that it's fake. Hold the face to the light and observe if it gleams like a genuine watch. If it's dull or cloudy, it's not authentic. Also, look for the inscription "Swiss Movado Made" to make sure it's authentic.
Feel the links and the clasp on the watch. Clasps should feel solid, and the links should be joined together by screws. Gently pull on the clasps and check for any loose pins. If the clasps feel fragile, it's probably fake.

How to distinguish from genuine to fake are first the weight the genuine is heavier than the fake . Secondly the color the fake is too shiney while genuine is not dull.Thirdly the markings the fake is the letter is very thin and not too deep while genuine is bold letter and deep markings.

Hope it may helps:
