1. Are the watches genuine?
All our watches are 100 percent genuine.
2. Do the watches come with warranty?
All the watches sold on the website comes with 2 years movement warranty (Automatic movement watches comes with 90 Days warranty). You get 2 years movement warranty. If there is a mechanical fault with the watch movement we will repair or replace the watch. Warranty does not cover any form of accidental damage, engraving, water damage, strap, loss of stones or the plating/colour. If you need to make a warranty claim please get in touch with us and we will assist you. Warranty repairs will take 5-28 days depending on the fault. If a warranty claim is made within 28 days of purchase we will cover all postage costs. However if a warranty claim is made after 28 days, the customer is liable for postage costs. As of January 1st 2019, we no longer stamp the warranty booklets.
3. Why do you not cover water damage/condensation even though it states my watch is water resistant?
The reason we do not cover water damage/condensation is because we are unable to prove if the user has mis-used their watch in water i.e. such as leaving the crown open or taking the watch into a depth deeper than what is recommended. Consequently, it becomes the customers word against ours. As a result, in order to prevent any potential damage that could otherwise occur due to usage in water, please do not use any watch purchased from us in water as you will not be covered under the terms of warranty. Therefore, any such usage in water is done so solely at the risk of the user and they are entirely aware of this fact.
4. Do you offer next day delivery?
Yes, we do. Next day delivery is an additional £5 at checkout. If the order is placed before 12pm we will ship the watch the same day and it will be delivered the following working day. If the order is placed after 12pm the watch will get dispatched the following working day. We do not offer guaranteed Saturday delivery. If the order is placed on Friday before 12pm delivery is not guaranteed until the following working day. Next day delivery is only available to UK customers.
5. Does The Watch Corp deliver internationally?
Yes we do. We offer worldwide shipping.
6. Can I have a watch delivered to a different address rather than the billing address?
Yes, when checking out please select which address you would like it delivered to. You will be then taken to merchant payment and you will have to reconfirm the delivery address. If you do not reconfirm the delivery address it will be sent to the address on merchant checkout. Please note that we can only ship to the same country as the billing address.
