- “The devil is in the detail” is a cliché that happens to be true, but let’s turn it around: The magic is in the detail. What constitutes quality in a product, besides the raw materials you choose? The attention paid to detail.
Friend of mine collects watches. Know the difference between a Tag Hauer or Omega and a knock-off Tag Hauer or Omega? The name. The movements for both are made in China, and the good knock-offs use the same OEM movements. As far as the heavy clunk of doors, my buddy's A5 is a rattler and always has been while Hyundai has gone overboard. And the nice thing about Google emails is I almost never get them. Apple? for some reason it thinks I care that they have the new Nikkie Minaj single. None of this shit is branding.

-I have a friend that is a smithy and a watch repair-woman. She advised me on the watch I bought for my wife and made sure first and foremost that I stayed away from the two brands you mentioned.
Interesting stuff. I can see some of the details being worthwhile and some worthless. I guess it depends on the intended market audience. I do have a Coach brand wallet. I never would have bought it, but received it for being in a friend's wedding. Damn, that is one fine wallet. It's lasted years longer than any I've had before and I'll likely look to Coach for a replacement someday. I have now noticed the details in my wallet, but it took me years to actually be cognizant of its' awesomeness.
