The good news is businesses that have Australian-made products will attempt to make it clear that they manufacture locally. A few things you can look out for include the green Australian-made triangle or product labels. The famous Australian Made, Australian Grown logo indicates that as well as being made here, the parts of the watch are sourced locally as well. We recommend checking out the Australian Made website to double-check any brands that you aren't 100% clear on where they manufacture.
Another option is to visit the "About" pages on the websites as businesses will usually outline where their production factories are located as well as the supply chain.

Australian-made watches range in price from a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand per piece.
More expensive prices can be attributed to ethical production. With manufacturing being in Australia, costs need to cover the higher minimum wages of production workers. This also goes hand in hand with keeping up with the Australian health and safety standards for workplaces.
Overall, the higher price point does even itself out with quality standards, no international shipping or transaction fee and real-time customer service.
