: They have been around for along time. I'm not sure how they

What go my attention was that their photos looked like the real thing. A place like that might use a legitimate photo of the genuine watch in their ads though.

Fakes probably keep time fairly well with a Japanese movement. That's about the only thing you can say about them. The engineering, craftsmanship, beauty, quality of materials, (and therefore the durability and toughness) is zilch compared to the real thing. At least that's been my experience with the few fakes I've seen. Even if there were some ok fakes, they are still fakes!!
