A website called gettrumpwatchesdotcom is selling Trump-inspired watches for men and women. Available in different colours and designs, the dials of the watches include "TRUMP" designed in the centre along with the president's signature. The watches are being sold as collector's items with permission to buy only 3 per household.

What's interesting about these watches, though, is their name, which includes "Fight Fight Fight" watch, "Presidential Fighter" watch, "Victory Winner" watch, which has the President's face on the dial and other designs for men. For women, the watches range from the "First Lady Royal Amethyst" watch, the "Trump Women's Warrior" watch and other designs. While the men's watches range from $499 to $699, the women's watches cost as much as $899.

Additionally, the company also offers people to customise their watches.

Are the Trump watches worth the buy? image
Well, according to a Rhode Island couple who paid $640 for the 'limited edition' president-themed watch, it's not. Tim Petit, who bought a pink President-themed watch for his wife, Melanie, was left disappointed by the purchase, as the 'TRUMP' logo on the dial was missing a vital 'T', leaving the watch with a prominent "RUMP", as reported by WJAR.

“I’m very disappointed. I wanted to do a special thing for her. And we expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States and good follow-through,” Petit told the local station.

The watch bought by Petit was the pink Inauguration First Lady model promoted as attracting "prosperity and love while enhancing intuition and creativity", and is apparently one of the only 250 watches, as per the website.

The couple did complain to the company, but with no response or solutions, they approached WJAR with their story. It was only after the local station reached out to Trump Watches that the company offered the couple $800 coupons and an apology.

It is important to note that these watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals. The company uses the "Trump" name, image and likeness due to a paid license agreement, as mentioned on their website.
