We'll try to buy as few items 'Made in China' as possible, Deb. But with some items you just don't have a choice, i.e. iPhones, computers.
Those couple watches have been put on hold for the time being as I spent our anniversary in the Hospital and so we didn't have time to shop, but we'll definitely look into those again after our trip. Our insurance guy even advised against taking such expensive items on a trip.
These watches will set us back six grand (eight in greenbacks), but they're also kind of an investment as those Omegas may even gain value with age - if treated and maintained properly.
A mark-up is OK with me (After all that's the fundament of our economy), but I just want to avoid buying plastic junk that isn't worth anything. I've been travelling to WDW since 1988 and I haven't yet found an item at the parks worth the money Disney is calling up for it. I usually only buy a cap from time to time as I collect those and that's it. I vividly remember an occasion when we where interviewed for a market survey upon leaving the parks one night. That lady asked us a lot of questions marking our answers on a tablet without ever looking at us until she inquired 'How much did you spend at the parks today?'
My reply made her jerk up her head with wide-opened eyes, because I said '$2.50'
She then mouthed an incredible 'What?' upon which I replied 'We bought a Coke and that was it.' She simply couldn't believe it 
I guess that's a typical European attitude and the main reason why Disney still has problems making a profit with its park near Paris. Europeans are simply much more reluctant parting with their money
