THE ICONIC: Shop a range of mens and womens fashion or accessories with THE ICONIC's Sydney-based online store. Australian-made brands stocked: The Horse, Status Anxiety
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.
Why buy Australian-made watches?
Buying Australian-made watches means a number of positive outcomes, not only for yourself but for the local economy. You'll find buying timepieces manufactured right in our own backyard tend to have the following:
Faster shipping times: By buying within Australia, you won't have to worry about those massive costs for international shipping that are usually added to your cart.
Easier and cheaper returns: In the case that you need to return your item, you can send it back for a fraction of the price.
Economic injection: Shopping through local businesses means your money is going straight back into the economy.
Are Australian-made watches more expensive?
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.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
