Most Impressive!

I needed a new leather strap for my watch, I found the suggestion to photograph the back of my watch to find the serial numberwas told this particular model was out of date and was given a selection to choose from, exactly the same as my original which I selected although there was a good choice and if I wanted to update the look of my watch I could have done so. My order was places very late on a Wednesday and the two straps I ordered arrived in the post the following Tuesday, which I thought was most impressive!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are especially happy that, even though your original watch model was no longer current, we could still help you find a strap that matched the original look so closely. After taking the time to identify the right model and compare the options, it must have been very satisfying to end up with exactly the style you wanted. It is also great to hear that both straps reached you so quickly after ordering. Most of all, we hope they make your watch feel completely right again and that you can enjoy wearing it for many more years. If you ever want to keep the same look again or try something different in the future, we will be very happy to help. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

Didn't think I'd wear my watch again!

I dropped my watch and took the strap clean out. I went to the original company but the watch was so old, they no longer supported it. After putting the strap code into google I luckily found this company who had a full strap for sale at a very good price. A few days later and a trip to a watch mender and bosh, my watch is looking BRAND NEW! - Couldn't be happier. Bout the watch in 2012 so here's to another 13years. Thanks to watch.co.uk

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are genuinely delighted that we could help bring a watch you have owned since 2012 back to life! After being told the original company could no longer support it, finding the right strap must have felt like such a relief. It is especially lovely to hear that, after a quick visit to the watch repairer, your watch now looks brand new again and is back on your wrist. Knowing that a replacement strap means a much-loved watch can keep going instead of being put away is exactly the kind of outcome we love to hear about. We hope this really is the start of another 13 years of wearing and enjoying it. Thank you as well for such an enthusiastic message, it has been a real pleasure to read. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

Change your courier service. I selected Royal Mail 48 but the delivery took 8 days from dispatch so 9 days from placement of order. Clearly this is not your fault which is why I rated yourselves as 5 star because I was completely satisfied with the product. The overall impression for your business is not good however when an order takes 9 days to arrive.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you very much for your honest and fair review. We are truly sorry that your order took nine days to arrive after you had selected Royal Mail 48. We completely understand how disappointing that is, especially when the expected delivery time played a part in your choice. It means a great deal that you still rated us five stars and were so clear that you were completely satisfied with the product. At the same time, we fully agree that such a long delay affects the overall impression of ordering from us. Once a parcel has left our warehouse, the delivery is handled by the carrier, but we will certainly take your feedback about Royal Mail with us internally when reviewing our delivery services. We hope you enjoy your purchase for a long time, and if we can ever help you again, we will be very happy to do so. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

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.

Reply from watch.co.uk

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!

Reply from watch.co.uk

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.

Good just a bit longer wait time.

Fit of the watch was what I was looking for. You could improve postage. It says if you order before 5pm postage same day, however mine was posted next day and it doesn’t explain that it’s posted from abroad so it will take a bit longer. Overall good, happy customer here.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you very much for your honest review. We are really pleased that the watch turned out to be the fit you were looking for and that you are happy with your purchase overall. We do understand your point about the delivery information, though. If an order is dispatched a day later than expected and it is not immediately clear that the parcel is coming from abroad, that can make the wait feel longer than anticipated. We appreciate you mentioning this, as it is useful feedback for us to take into account. Most importantly, we are glad the watch itself was worth the wait and that you ended up a happy customer. We hope you enjoy wearing it for a long time, and if we can ever help you again, we will be very happy to do so. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

They did what it said on the tin.

Clear, concise website. Smooth transaction process and fast delivery with effective tracking. Item was a top end manufacturer branded leather strap. Exactly as I expected. I will certainly buy from this company again. Many thanks.

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.

Reply from watch.co.uk

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.

My replacement watch strap is perfect and I was very pleased to receive the fitting tool. Just wish I’d used Watch.co.uk before as it has been difficult to source the authentic strap locally. Good communication and easy to use website.

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are very happy that your search finally ended with exactly the strap you needed. After having such a hard time finding the right authentic replacement locally, it must be a great feeling to have your watch complete again with a strap that fits perfectly. The fact that you wish you had found us sooner is such a lovely compliment, and one we truly appreciate. We hope you enjoy having your watch back just the way you wanted it, and if you ever need another hard-to-find part, we will be very happy to help. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

Good customer service but reservations about tool provided

Sought advice on correct strap for a Tissot watch. Helpful response received. Metal strap and changing tool ordered. Only significant criticism is that the £2 strap-changing tool was made of soft steel that bent easily, so the tool was effectively useless. Ended up using a geometry compass with a hard steel point!

Reply from watch.co.uk

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We are really pleased that our advice helped you find the right strap for your Tissot and that the support itself felt helpful. We are sorry that the changing tool did not hold up as it should have, especially when you had bought it specifically to make fitting the strap easier. We will definitely take your feedback about the tool on board. Hopefully the new strap is now fitted securely and you can enjoy your watch again. If that is not the case, please contact us through the contact form on our website and we will be very happy to help. Kind regards, Team Watch.co.uk.

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.

Reply from watch.co.uk

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!
