The moment it arrived, he realized it was missing a crucial feature.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-177703113\" class=\"newsner-after_first_paragraph\">\n<div id=\"intext_194360_1_wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim Petit, from Middletown, Rhode Island, heard an ad about a $640 pink limited-edition Trump-themed watch from GetTrumpWatches.com. He decided to surprise his wife, Melanie, with it. However, things turned to disappointment \u2013 and tears \u2013 as the watch arrived, per\u00a0NBC10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just thought it was really nice. It was beautiful. And I knew it would be something that she\u2019d like,\u201d Tim Petit told NBC 10. \u201cOne of 250. So that attracted me. With the president\u2019s voice hawking the watches. I was curious, so I went on to the website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump has sold various items since taking office, including watches, Bibles, and phones. His wife, Melania, has also earned money. This has sparked debate about whether the President should sell anything while in office.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-474cc7c646660449b6d0332a9ec1a0cb\" class=\"newsner-474cc7c646660449b6d0332a9ec1a0cb newsner-incide_content_once\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has also been called a gourmand due to the prices and quality of his products. The White House denies claims that Trump profited from his time in office.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-194366 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4.png 914w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4-768x610.png 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"914\" height=\"726\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4.png 914w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4-768x610.png 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114116\/matawatch4.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Youtube\/NBC10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the limited-edition watch, sold in only 250 copies, Donald Trump\u2019s voice can also be heard in video ads for the website, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s Trump time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-maga-supporter-in-tears-after-buying-640-trump-watch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAGA supporter in tears after buying $640 Trump watch<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it finally arrived, Tim Petit presented his wife, Melanie, with the pink Inauguration First Lady model watch. Upon opening it, they were immediately surprised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt has a nice little case. It has the pink and little fireworks on it,\u201d Melanie explained to NBC10. However, it didn\u2019t take long before they realized something was missing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-49534569\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\">\n<div id=\"intext_194360_2_wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-08ee013845cbca41c35461ccfb0945b6\" class=\"newsner-08ee013845cbca41c35461ccfb0945b6 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI noticed it right away. The T is missing.

I wanted to do a special thing for her,\u201d Petit told the news outlet. \u201cAnd we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added, \u201cAn apology would be nice for making my wife cry.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-194365 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114107\/magawatch2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"356\" height=\"369\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/06\/02114107\/magawatch2.png\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Youtube\/NBC10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GetTrumpWatches.com markets the products as \u201cofficial watches\u201d of President Trump, though the fine print states that the Trump name and likeness are only licensed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-got-it-replaced-as-it-read-rump-instead-of-trump\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Got it replaced as it read \u201cRump\u201d instead of \u201cTrump\u201d<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site notes that the watches are not designed, made, or sold by Trump, the Trump Organization, or any related entities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Tuesday, Petit had been trying to reach the website\u2019s owners several times but was not satisfied with the lack of response. However, after NBC10 reached out to the company\u2019s customer service, things began to move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, Petit got the watch replaced. The company apologized and also offered him an $800 coupon for something else.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-974320780\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\">\n<div id=\"intext_194360_3_wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-3b06442ece362d55158888f024048fe1\" class=\"newsner-3b06442ece362d55158888f024048fe1 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thoughts on this?
