Review summary

Customers frequently praise the fast and satisfactory delivery, as well as the simple and user-friendly ordering process that makes it easy to find and purchase items. The high quality and authenticity of products, especially replacement straps and watches, are also highly appreciated and contribute to a positive buying experience. Many customers value the helpful, responsive, and friendly customer service. The availability of hard-to-find or out-of-stock items, along with prompt restock notifications, is seen as a significant advantage. Regular updates and clear communication about order status, fair or competitive pricing, and the availability of options, guidance, and tools for fitting straps further enhance the overall experience. A minority of customers experienced delivery delays and lapses or confusion in communication about order status. Some encountered unhelpful or rigid customer support, and a few noted higher costs for certain items or shipping. There were also occasional minor issues or missing instructions with fitting straps and tools.

Very efficient service and I was kept well informed on the progress of my order. I ordered a replacement mesh bracelet. There were useful links to video guides for fitting the new bracelet. These however did not include advice to cut and seal the mesh end- the bracelet is much too long for my wrist. When the catch position is adjusted there is too much bracelet left to remain under the strap when worn- so it needs to be shortened. Harsh to remove a star for this I know, but just wanted the comment registered.

Thank you for your review. We’re really happy to read that your order felt efficient and well looked after from start to finish. It is great that the updates and fitting guides helped make the experience positive, and we truly appreciate that you still took the time to explain where the guide did not quite cover your situation. With a mesh bracelet, the fit can be more specific when the bracelet needs to be shortened, and we would be happy to look at that together with you and help find the best way to adjust it. We hope the bracelet will still become a comfortable fit for your watch. Please feel free to contact us about this, as we would gladly help you further with more specific advice. You can always reach us via the contact form on our website! Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk

Nice size and good design. Not too big, smooth outline that won't snag easily. I prefer the Arabic numbers to Roman and the face design is nice and clear for seeing the time at a glance. Good to have a second hand too. If I had to find a fault, the hour and minute hands are very slightly too thick and could be more easily distinguishable one from another. But overall I love it!

Thank you for your review. It is lovely to read how happy you are with the watch overall, especially because the size, design and clear dial seem to suit what you were looking for so well. We understand your small point about the hands and appreciate that you mention it so thoughtfully. Most of all, we are really glad that the watch has turned out to be one you love. We hope you enjoy wearing it very much. Should you have any questions in the future, we will of course be happy to help. Best regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

Easy to order and would use this site again

Easy to order. I appreciated having an alternative watch strap suggested as the one I wanted was out of stock. It arrived quickly and I have been able to have it fitted without any issues. See the old strap and the new one in the photo. So good you can also order the bars and screws for an excellent price. Thank you.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you for your review. What a wonderful message to receive! We are so pleased that the suggested alternative turned out to be such a good match and that you were able to have it fitted without any trouble. It is especially nice to know that the extra bars and screws helped make the replacement complete and straightforward. Your confidence in using our website again means a great deal to us. We hope the new strap gives your watch a fresh look and many more years of wearing pleasure. If we can help you again in the future, we would be very happy to do so. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

A flawless experience

I'd ordered the variant of a Certina watch that came with a nylon strap and wanted to spice it up a bit with the official bracelet as well. It wasn't in stock so I used the Notify Me button. After a while I gave up hope of them recieving it but I got the notification, ordered it, it turned up in a couple of days despite having to get through customs, and it came in a pretty nice reusable pouch to boot. Couldn't really have gone any better. Oh, customer services were responsive to my initial query about an ETA for the strap as well. Although they were out by a month - but these things are unpredictable.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind 5-star review! We’re really glad to hear that you were able to get the official Certina bracelet after signing up for the notification, and that it arrived quickly and safely—even with customs involved. It’s also great to know you appreciated the reusable pouch and our customer service support along the way. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the ETA estimate; as you mentioned, supply timelines can sometimes be unpredictable. Thank you again for your trust and support—we hope you enjoy your upgraded watch setup! Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk

Easy to fit

Normally I would get a new strap fitted by a Fossil dealer. However reading previous reviews on how easy they are to fit yourself, I thought I would give it go. The reviews were not wrong. I found it really easy, and a lot cheaper to fit myself. The quality of the strap is good. So I hope this will last as long as the previous one. The only downside was colour of strap available. For the size required the only colour available was brown.

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re very happy to hear that you found the strap easy to fit yourself and that you’re pleased with the quality and overall value. It’s great that the installation went smoothly and saved you the cost of a dealer fitting. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the colour availability for your size. We will certainly take this into account to improve our range where possible. We hope the strap serves you well for a long time, and we’d be happy to help you again in the future! Kind Regards, Team Watch.co.uk

The item was despatched as advised and arrived in a timely manner (no pun intended) despite the hopeless Royal Mail in the U.K. delaying things for no apparent reason. It was as described and the communication from Watch.co.uk was excellent. Be aware, however, that despite their website name I think this company are based abroad, possibly Holland. How this might affect returns or guarantees I'm not sure. Nevertheless the experience from the company has been very good so far.

Poor Customer Care

Effortless from ordering to delivery. However there is a sting in the tail with this company. Customer Services are extremely intransigent. I had a small issue, where safety clasp pin had come loose, and this was after only a few weeks. it was obvious that the pin had not been fitted correctly during manufacturing and had not been noticed at inspection. Customer Services only comment was that the watch strap was not covered by the guarantee. Who's guarantee? I am sure that the manufacturers warranty would have covered it. But no, I could send it back at my cost and have it repaired at my cost and have it sent back at my cost. Nothing I said would make them budge, even threatening a Section 75 on my credit card did nothing. in the end I took the watch down to my local jewellers who repaired it for me for a cost of £2.50 (3.00 Euros. Customer Service has left a bad taste, and I will not be buying another watch from this company. Customer Services should be there to help, not just fob you off with legal jargon Having received such a positive reply I am happy to amend my review. However I stand by my comments about customer service. This company appear to want to do the right thing, and I am pleased about that, because apart from this glitch they do seem to tick all the right boxes. Hood prices, good delivery and good information from ordering through to delivery. Just one small point., it was be nice to have an email address which you can reply directly rather than through this website.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you for updating your review and for sharing this so openly. We are genuinely sorry for how this was handled at first. You had a problem with the clasp after only a few weeks, and you should not have been left feeling that our customer service was simply refusing to help. We are glad that our later response made you feel more positively about the situation, but we also understand that this does not take away the frustration you felt before that. This should have been approached with more care from the start, and we are sorry that it took too long before you felt properly heard. Your comments about the way customer service handled this are completely fair, and we take them seriously. We are pleased to read that, apart from this issue, you were satisfied with the ordering process, delivery, information and prices. Still, we know that one poor service experience can affect the trust you have in us. We hope this has now been resolved for you and that, despite the way this first went, you have been able to regain a little trust in us. If there is still anything we can do for you, whether it concerns this order or something in the future, we will do everything we can to give you the careful and helpful experience you should have received from the start. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

I love my Swatch special edition Rijksmuseum watch… but the strap broke. This is now the second replacement strap I have had, over a good many years since this watch first came out, and keeps my very favourite watch still looking good, I am very happy!

The avaliable choices of watches was excellent. The projected delivery time seemed reasonable. However after receiving an email informing me my chosen watch had been dispatched on 01-05-2026 it turned out that it hadn't. A further email said it had been dispatched late. The parcel eventually arrived on Monday 11-05-2026. I had made two email enquiries as to the whereabouts of my parcel/watch was. The first was answered promptly. The second was not replied to until 2 days after it was sent. It is probably easy to blame the courier's. However there was no track and trace information for the parcel first part of journey to make a judgement. It was only when Royal Mail received the parcel I knew where it was. The watch arrived safely and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We are glad to read that you are very pleased with the watch and that it arrived safely, but we are sorry that the delivery and communication around it did not feel as clear or reliable as they should have. We understand how frustrating it is to receive dispatch updates that do not seem to match the actual progress of the parcel, especially when tracking information is limited during the first part of the journey. It is also disappointing to read that your second email was not answered as quickly as your first one, as waiting without clear information can make the situation feel even more uncertain. Your feedback gives us a clear picture of where the experience could have been better. We hope you enjoy wearing your new watch, and if there is anything else you would like us to look into, you can always reach us via the contact form on our website. Best regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

Flawless experience! I have mistyped my email when place my order and customer experience specialist Joris not only just amended the email, but also resent the order email, invoice and dispatch email. The delivery was quicker than I expected and the watch strap was how it was supposed to be. I am grateful that they were able to get the strap as the watch is quite a historical model and the watch.co.uk was the only place where I could get it. Thank you!

The watch is very attractive and is just what I have been looking for to replace a very similar watch. I wasn't aware the watch was coming from abroad but it arrived in quoted time and having the extra free insurance was reassuring and an unexpected bonus. Very happy with your service. Thank you

Quick despatch/Slow delivery

Watch.co.uk were very quick to despatch the Citizen watch bracelet from the Netherlands but the package took nearly a month for delivery in the UK. For a relatively expensive genuine Citizen bracelet I was disappointed to discover that it is made of folded links rather than solid links. I think this should be made clear in the website description. Only time we’ll tell how durable it is.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry that this purchase has been disappointing for you, especially after waiting so long for the package to arrive. Your order was dispatched the day after it was placed, but we completely understand that this does not take away the frustration of a delivery that took nearly a month. We also understand your point about the bracelet links and that, for a genuine Citizen bracelet at this price, you expected this information to be clearer before ordering. We will pass your feedback on, so the product information can be reviewed and hopefully made clearer for future customers. We hope the bracelet will still prove to be durable and useful for your watch. Should you have any questions in the future, we will of course be happy to help. Best regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

New strap = new watch!

New strap arrived. It’s a replacement and has lifted the look of my watch which had become quite worn and tatty looking because of the old strap. It’s like new and has given the watch new life. Very happy.

It is wonderful to know that the replacement has brought back the pleasure of wearing it. We hope you enjoy its renewed look for a long time, and we will be happy to help again whenever you need us.

Replacement Tissot leather strap

I only wanted a replacement leather watch strap for my 30 year old Tissot. Your company had them for sale, albeit at a rather high price. I ordered and the strap was delivered free of shipping charge in 5 days which I consider to be very acceptable, as it wasn't urgent. The strap is just what I wanted as makes my aged Tissot look like a new watch!

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you found exactly the right leather strap for your Tissot and that it gave your watch a fresh new look—that’s always wonderful to hear. We also appreciate your comments on pricing and delivery. It’s great to know the free shipping and delivery time met your expectations. Enjoy your “new” watch, and we hope to serve you again in the future! Kind Regards, Team Watch.co.uk

Excellent value quality swiss watch with good quality Ronda 715 movement for little money. It's unusual for an online watch retainer to offer bracelet sizing and a new battery for peace of mind.

Adidas Originals - Fashion AOFH25508 Expression Three Digital Watch

I thought I had bought a brand new watch. But when I opened the box, I saw that someone had already used the watch. It was obvious that the foil had been removed and put back on. The product was in use because the time was set and the review (Work out) was at 2 hours 35 minutes. The delivery was fast. The watch is good and flawless. The numbers are quite large and clearly visible. I like it. Excellent. Thank you very much for your answer and I cannot accept what is shown below. The situation is that I needed two watches and I could only buy one watch from Adidas, the last one. The Adidas watch was brand new, not previously set up and tested for 2.5 hours, like the watch of the same brand and type that I bought from you.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the condition of the watch upon arrival. Please allow us to clarify that we only sell new and unused watches. It is possible that the watch was briefly handled for quality control or that certain settings (such as time or activity logs) were activated during factory testing. That said, we completely understand how this may have raised doubts, especially when you were expecting a fully untouched item. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We’re glad to hear that you are happy with the watch itself and that it arrived quickly and in flawless condition. If you would still like us to look into this further, please feel free to contact us directly — we are always happy to help. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind Regards, Team Watch.co.uk

Fantastic choice of O.E straps

Fantastic choice of O.E. Seiko watch straps, I wanted something that would suit my new black divers Prospex, the silicone band supplied had a metal keeper on it that dug in my wrist. Found exactly what I wanted, a leather backed sailcloth style strap with black anodised buckle, it was out of stock, but I got an email within days to say it was back in and I ordered straight away. Shipping was fast from mainland Europe to the U.K. and the strap/watch pouch supplied will come in handy. I dare say this won’t be my only purchase!

A big thank you for the 5 stars! We're thrilled that everything was to your satisfaction. Happy wearing! Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk
