FAKE Alex & Ani bracelets

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
These bracelets are NOT authentic...the are HORRIBLE! Instead of sending it back...paying another return shipping charge on top of a 20% restocking fee...it's useless sending it back. I VERY EASILY squeezed both bracelets in my hand and they compressed something that the real deal wouldn't do. DO NOT WASTE your money on this *** It's true...You get what you pay for. Buy cheap expect cheap products!

Empty Box, No watch received

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
December last year I purchased a Citizen watch from these thief's. I received and empty box, NO WATCH inside, just an empty case. I opened a case with Ebay and was promptly closed. Seller stating they have proof that Item was delivered. They could not offer me any proof that the watch was actually inside the box when they sent the shipment out. The fact that the package was EMPTY does not worry them. I see on the negative comments, many other people experiencing the same kind of service. I see they also send refurd watches and sell them as new. These guys should be shut down or taking of Ebay completely. I tried to negotiate with them privately, but I am getting nowhere. I even offered to purchase a replacement. I was told that they do have stock. When I tried to order the replacement, they no longer have stock. These guys are thugs and should not trade and rip off customers like this.

Carefully review their "terms and conditions" of their contract

they advertise"free shipping"............cost me $20 to return..........$10 to return it, they charged me $10 when they got it back....................... I paid $100..........after shipping, I was returned $80...........do the math............not free...............there are other online sellers which offer a more user friendly policy I logged back on to their site to look for my review, I didn't see it.

I was approached by a sales agent..............I asked where to find reviews.....they were not visible. If they are accessible, I wasn't able to find them.

the only ones available were from 2016. when I shared this with the agent, our "chat" was promptly terminated...............THE ONLY REVIEWS ARE FIVE STAR, they're from two thousand and sixteen..........there are no reviews from two thousand and seventeen.........

Tissot Watch

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Certified Watch Store - Tissot Watch
Certified Watch Store - Tissot Watch  - Image 2

the watch has a bad movement and send it back for repair, called several times to know about the status of the watch, every time I was told a different story about where or when is the watch....finally I asked to talk a Supervisor name Harry S. He said I will ship the watch back today....true..it was shipped the day...but when received it.

the watch came full of scratches allover and big dents on back, probably made when opened....and also had a chipped crystal.....Call back with a complaint and send pictures of all the damages and asking to get it fix. They fixed the metal scratches but not the crystal.....I believe that they should be honest about the job done...and be responsible for fixing the entire watch nor only what they can fixed in house....they think they did a favor by fixing the scratches....but what they did is to fix the damages cause by them......Harry asked me to talk to a manager name Ezzie Schaff, I have called him and talked to him about the watch. but he was no help at all...he said they are very professional in their bussines... but I aked him why they were delaying the shipment....and please to find out who scratched the watch...he do not have to tell me...but tell his emplyes to be honest when they damage any item...we do not have to pay for their mistakes.....

My name is Arturo Ramos...and will report this to PAYPAL...I want every body know about how irresponsible they are... Thanks

AVOID SHOPPING HERE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I BOUGHT A WENGER SQUADRON WATCH WHICH BECAME WATERLOGGED AFTER WEARING IT IN THE SHOWER ONE TIME. THE CERTIFIED WATCH STORE REFUSED TO REPLACE OR RETURN THE ITEM. FIRST EXCUSE WAS THAT THERE WAS NO ORIGINAL PACKAGING. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A "NEW" WATCH AND HAD NOT KEPT THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING. SECOND EXCUSE WAS THAT "IT LOOKED AS IF IT HAD BEEN OPENED" THE WATCH WAS NEVER OPENED AND THERE WAS NO WATERPROOF SEAL. I AM OUT OF A HUNDRED BUCKS AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY TOO IF YOU BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. PLEASE BE ADVISED THE WATCHES ARE FACTORY REJECTS OR OLD STOCK WHICH THE MANUFACTURER JUST WANTS TO GET RID OF. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR... AVOID THIS STORE LIKE A PLAGUE AND SHOP ELSEWHERE!!!

Certified Watch Store Customer Care Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AWFUL customer service and even worse return service! They accept zero responsibility on their daily price changes and will not assist in returning the item. I paid $600 for a watch and the next day it was on sale for $459, they wouldn't adjust anything and told me I could've bought the next day at that price! There is a ton of better watch stores out there that actually care about customers.

Read careful before ordering! You cannot return to Wal-Mart even though you order through their site!

I ordered a watch though the Wal-Mart site, which was then ordered from Certified Watch. I wish I would have read better. I would have found out that you cannot return to Wal-Mart. I did not like the watch so I decided to return it. It cost me $13 to return it and then they charged me a $10 delivery charge since I was returning it. So I got screwed out of $23 because I did not read the ad like I should have!! {{redacted}}

AS GOOD AS IT GETS WHEN BUYING A WATCH!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
i understand on these watch review sites that some people may have issues with a seller, but i must tell you these guys are super legit, selling pristine new watches at the lowest prices anywhere. they may not ALWAYS have the very lowest prices, tho they do have a price match, but 2 times i've found them to be significantly lower in price on a new from the manufacturer watch that i've purchased, and gotten orders super quick! one time was for a bulova i thought was defective. they agreed to take it back and pay shipping. but then i researched and found out that bulova had given wrong information even on their website about the item, and it wasn't defective, just didn't have a screw down crown as stated. every website had the same misinformation. i contacted certified and told them i'd keep it. with these prices i've seen others wonder if these guys were legit...let me tell you the watch came as if straight from the manufacturer, with all plastic protection etc on it, pristine. and the customer service was exceptional when they thought i'd received a defective watch, which i hadn't. i've had enough problems with many even reputable watch websites over the years as i'm a watch buying nut...but i can say all my experiences with certified have been stellar. and i am not associated with them in any way...just very appreciative to find a seller such as this!

Love the watch

Found the exact watch I was looking for on your website, and the price was fantastic. The only problem I had was that I was told twice, once before I bought the watch, and once after I had it for a few months, that the face illuminated in the dark. Found out, after sending it in for repair, that it did not have this feature. Still decided to keep the watch because I liked it so much and the price was right. Informed the company of this issue and I hope they take care of it in the future or they will lose customers. You should know the features of the products you are selling.

Not Trustworthy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Certified Watch Store messaged me to see if they could answer any questions (typical bot program I'm guessing). I had a few questions and they asked me to wait for an actual representative...No prob.

Ten minutes after I ask my questions, no response or follow up, so i ask if someone is still on their way to help. No response. Then 30 minutes later, I finally say bye and several minutes after that someone responds with just "We're not Jet.com"... They said that because I thought I was on Jet.com (Jet.com apparently directed me straight to the vendor website selling that specific item I was shopping for..)

So I figure, great. Now I know exactly who to write a bad review for... zero customer service, then I get insulted with still no actual help on the item I would like to purchase? Worst non-service ever. Maybe I would not have felt insulted if your business first apologized for the delay then kindly corrected my mistake about the company I was working with... then actually answered my questions. I refuse to ever purchase from Certified Watch Store and will tell others about my own experience with this company.

Hamilton Watch - Quit Working, Store non-reponsive

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Purchased a watch from them through Amazon. It quit working w/in a year. I have contacted Certified Watch Store and they are ignoring my request to repair/refund. Horrible. I've also reported their activity to Amazon. When I started to search the internet it became obvious that I am not alone in my situation with this vendor. While ratings on Amazon appear acceptable don't be fooled. My watch started to run slowly and not keep time. Amazon can't help and Certified Watch Store can easily not answer their phones, not reply to emails and do what ever they can to ignore you. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Beware the warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Certified Watch Store - Beware the warranty

I purchased a Hamilton Khaki Field Watch from Certified Watch Store, partly because of their warranty, which states that they "honor the original factory warranty's terms and conditions for the time duration list below", which for a Hamilton watch was two years. Hamilton's factory warranty terms are to replace the watch if there is any defect in the watch within the first two years.

One of the listed features on the watch is that it is water resistant to 100 meters. The first time I dove with the watch underwater to about 30 meters, it filled with moisture, and the crown was ruined to the point that it slid off of the watch. When I sent in the watch to Certified Watch Store for warranty service, they kept it for a few weeks, and then sent it back to me still full of moisture, and with the crown sliding off. No explanation, just a useless watch that I bought from them for over $400 a few weeks prior.

Speaking to Certified Watch Store on the phone is maddening, as they rudely point out that their warranty never would actually replace a watch, only repair, and they don't warrant use underwater, and it must have been my fault anyway. To their defense, it's important to point out that if you keep scrolling way down page two of their warranty description, ignoring the top part where they say they "honor the original factory warranty's terms and conditions", they eventually do describe that they don't warrant water damage, and they never say they will replace a watch, only repair it.

So the condescending phone support people are right - the small print at the bottom completely contradicts what the warranty says up top. Certified Watch Store has great prices on quality watches - just pray that you never need support from them.

CWS lost my watch to avoid warranty claim

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Certified Watch Store (CWS) has lost my watch I sent for warranty issues. I have had the Rado watch for about 2 years and had multiple defect issues. This would have been the 4th repair attempt. They claim they have not received my watch and have moved. I mailed the watch to their last address from April 2015 RMA under which repair attempt was made. I am not sure how often they move or what kind of business operation they have. I have sent a notice to Amazon to discontinue their business relations with CWS. I feel they are fishy, unethical, and have poor record keeping, and of course one of the worst customer service experiences. I would not buy any product from them regardless of how cheap it is and I hope future customers are careful in their investment on this store.

Still Haven't Received My Watch

Below are the 2 emails that explain where I'm at with Certified Watch Store Is still have not received my shipment and I have not received a tracking number. I paid for second day air and I should have received my purchase Thursday or Friday. I called you this morning and I was told that it was a problem with UPS and they just hadn't delivered yet. I then requested that I be sent a tracking number. Still nothing! No response to my previous email, no tracking number, and no watch! Only someone telling me it's a problem with UPS. I'm starting to get worried that this is just an online scam. My order shows shipped on the 11th and I paid for 2nd day air shipping. I never received a tracking # so I can't track it. I tried to call and you are closed until Monday. So far, I'm not really happy with my purchase. Could someone at least contact me with tracking information.
