Third watch from this site
Third watch from this site. Each one has been consistent quality. This one might be my favourite so far.

I purchased a 2-for-1 watch package
I purchased a 2-for-1 watch package, but only received one item. The second watch never arrived. I’ve tried contacting the company multiple times via email and have received no response whatsoever.
Customer service is extremely poor, and there has been zero communication or accountability from their side. At this point, it feels like I’ve been completely ripped off.
I would not recommend this company to anyone

Not particularly durable at all.
It is important to stress that this review is not aimed at any staff, packaging, postage or anything like that.
I got the sport model in January as the price was good and the both the weight and functionality suited me - although it is important to add that it is very basic and some of the personal health data it gives is just not accurate.
I normally work in some areas where you need something more rugged and this seemed like a no-brainer. Within a few days the bar that holds the strap came out while I was walking but was fortunate to see it. It was an early red flag but I liked it and cracked on. A few days ago the bar snapped completely and that was tha. It hadn't been dropped, hit or whatever else etc and it feels like a let down.
The advert with a track vehicles going over the watches to prove durability just seems a bit amusing now.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out, TK — genuinely appreciate the honest feedback.
Really sorry to hear about the strap bar issue, that’s frustrating and not what we want for anyone, especially when you’re relying on it in tougher work environments.
Totally get your point as well — if something’s marketed as tough, it needs to back it up in real use.
If you’re open to it, shoot me an email at support@hardhatwatches.com.au
and ask for Johnny — I’ll personally jump on this and get it sorted properly for you.
We back our gear and I’d like the chance to turn this one around.

I bought a H H Watch before easter 2026.
Received it last week
Set the watch up paired watch with my S23+ all good.
I could monitor my heart rate over night as i have A F.
2 days later the app stopped working ( it froze) had to go through the whole process again all good except i could no longer see my heart rate over night .
Have unstalled and re installed app twice and still cant see what my heart rate was over night.
Totally unhappy and i guess you get what you pay for

Hardhat Watches Australia - Buyers beware!
I purchased 2x hardhat watches in Nov 2025, and in Feb 2026, one of them stopped working. After 25 emails back and forth hardhat have been extremely difficult to deal with when returning my product to them. Refusing to provide an actual return address, under international postage laws, customers are required to obtain a person's name, company name, a physical address, not a P O Box, and a business phone number. After almost 10 emails, this information finally came through. If you want to return your hardhat watch send it to:
Jim Stevens - Warehouse Manager
Hardhat Watches Australia
19 Wille CT
Ormeau
QLD 4208
Ph: +61075563 9988
None of this information is readily available on their website.
Hardhat informed me that once my product was returned to them, they would process a refund within 48hrs.
My product was delivered to hardhat on the 20/03/2026, and I am still waiting for communication and a refund. My advice to new customers,
Don't buy any products from this company, their service and products are terrible! BTW Johnny, don't bother responding to this I've already dealt with 10+ staff members from hardhat!

Hi Vinny,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — and we completely understand your frustration given the back and forth you’ve outlined.
There were clearly some inconsistencies in communication on our end during the process, and that’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
I can confirm that your return has now been received and your full refund has been processed, which should land back in your account shortly depending on your bank.
I’ve also reached out to you directly via email to follow this up personally and make sure everything is fully resolved.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention — feedback like this helps us improve both our processes and communication moving forward.

Scam just selling rebranded Chinese tat from AliExpress at 5x the price.
Almost fell for the hard sell on thier website and adverts all over social media..it is currently buy one get one free so 2 watches for £150 for the hard hat foreman. Decided to look on YouTube for some reviews and found they are just cheap rebranded Chinese watches selling for as little as £25 on eBay or AliExpress. So you could buy 5 for the price of the 2 on offer direct from hard hat themselves. Glad I did some research.

Hi James,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, however we’re unable to locate any record of you as a customer in our system.
We completely understand there are similar-looking products online — this is something that happens across most industries. What we can stand behind is the quality of our watches, our manufacturer’s warranty, and our money-back guarantee, which are all part of purchasing directly from us.
Our products are also Hard Hat branded and stamped into the casing, and backed by ongoing customer support, which isn’t something you’ll receive from copycat, unknown third-party sellers.
If you do have any genuine questions about the product, we’re always happy to help — feel free to reach out to our team anytime.

Absolute Terrible Customer Service
My partner brought me a watch as a gift. They are meant to be rated IP68 Standards for water, so roughly 30mins. I literally dove into a river and surfaced and the watch decided water was too much and kicked the bucket. Started spazzing out and then fully died. Decided hey it is still under the 90 returns and the warranty. I will reach out the company. Took them 2 weeks to respond to my email and then they asked for generic photos and videos... fair enough. Replied with the information. Waited another week and a half, sent a follow up email. They sent me another generic please submit photos and videos of the watch... I had already sent those. I sent them again. Almost 2 weeks later and still waiting on a reply. So terrible customer service and will be reporting to ACCC. Do not buy as it is just doesn't meet any of its own standard. This is still an ongoing issue that is yet to be resolved.

Outstanding Customer Service
Hi I bought a Big Rig and me being me I ask lots of questions. Mick and the team were extremely patient with me and guided me to the best option for me. The service I received was second to none. Couldn't fault this firm. Fast replies to emails, always friendly and willing to help. I would definitely be happy dealing with Hard Hat in the future and recommending products. Thanks to the crew at Hard Hat.
