Your meta descriptions aren't very long at 60 characters. You could write longer meta descriptions that include more info specific to that watch. Like, for http://www.traxnyc.com/Mens-Diamond-Watches-G-Shock-Watches-Casio-G-shock-Atomic-Solar-Watch-GWM5600-1V-item25463.html, the meta description is "Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120", but the product is "Casio G-shock Atomic Solar Watch GWM5600-1V". When this page appears in the SERPs (when I search for the page title at least), the meta description is short so Google fills in a lot:
Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120. ... TraxNYC is a leading retailer of Diamond Jewelry in the heart of New York's famous Diamond District .... Full Size Picture for Casio G-shock Atomic Solar Watch GWM5600-1V ...
-
Try using SKUs or bar codes / model numbers. This might additionally help you if people use barcode scanners or the like for search.
-
Instead of using descriptions for what is similar between the items:
Mens G-Shock Watches White Stainless Steel Item Price : $120
Use descriptions that identify what is unique about each:
Mens G-Shock Watches Solar Powered GW6900A-7

Would This Be Highlighted as Duplicate Meta Desc?
Due to the nature of our business we literally have hundreds of web pages and so we recently asked our Web Developers to create the Meta Description for many of the pages that they create - unfortunately they don't seem to understand SEO but before I go back to them I wanted to run this by the MOZ Community... Here is a snippet of the Meta Desc they have created, personally I'm not happy with it BUT I need to be certain on one thing... Will Google determine that it is (almost) duplicated Meta content?

On-Page Optimization | | HamiltonIsland
E.G - There might be 5 pages in say a Media Release section of the website. And each URL says page 1, 2 etc etc. However, its still coming up as duplicate. How can this be fixed so Moz knows its actually different content?0 -
"City page" links in footer of home page: Spammy?
Is listing a bunch of links to city pages in the footer of a home page considered "spammy" to Google? (ie- Chicago Alarms, Illinois Alarms, Naperville Alarms, etc.) What are the negative affects this might have on ranking, if any?

Duplicate Content - Meta Data for International Site Roll Out
Hi All, We have a site targeting Ireland, so all on-page SEO is completed and launched on the Irish site. We are now rolling out this site to the UK...how much of this content & SEO meta data has to be changed for Google to not recognise it as duplicate content? Site structure is as follows: http://www.domain.com/ie-en/ - Irish site http://www.domain.com/uk-en/ - UK site Or will it even be considered duplicate content as we have the uk and Irish signals in the subfolders, will be using geo targeting on webmasters, and will have UK specific addresses and phone numbers? We will be rolling this site out to may more countries so would be great to get this straight from the start so we don't waste time creating many versions of the meta data unnecessarily! Many thanks Emma

How to fix duplicate page content and page titles?
Apologies in advance if this has already been answered (it probably has) - I'm just not seeing it. Is there a guide on here for how to fix the issues brought up by the crawler - specifically, things like duplicate page content, or duplicate page titles? A lot of these seem to have been created by wordpress.org combos that I didn't anticipate - i.e., category pages, author pages, etc. The crawler brings up the problems, but I don' t know where to start to go about fixing them. Also, any guide on best SEO practices or fixing optimization problems, specifically for wordpress.org blogs, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
