The upgrade was done and I am somewhat satisfied. The length of time to repair my watch and return it was ridiculous. It took almost 4 months! The “date” on my watch should advance at 12, but it does... See more

Firstly, I absolutely love this watch! It fixes all of the small hang ups I had about the original Antarctic. Better water resistance and more modern size. The fit and finish punches well above its pr... See more

Written by the company

In 2018, the Nivada Grenchen brand was rebirthed with its two iconic models at the forefront--the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver and the Antarctic. The use of modern movements on these vintage watch recreations is paying homage to the legacy of the Nivada Grenchen watches, at the same time, staying true to its precision quality. Since then, we've been actively developing and releasing a wide range of other Nivada Grenchen classics such as the Depthmaster & Datomaster.

bAD SERVICE

I tried to cancel my order because of their late delivery estimates, but they completely ignored my messages. They wait days to reply OR DONT EVEN BOTHER TO REPLY. It feels like they intentionally delay responding to force the sale through. Terrible communication and even worse service. Save your money!

Weeks of delays in shipping

Weeks of delays in shipping - with no solution in sight. We finally just asked for a refund. The embarrassing penguin watch caused us to lose additional respect for the brand. It is a shame. The brand has a good historical reputation.

Impeccable After-Sales Service!

Outstanding customer service!

I had an excellent experience with Nivada Grenchen. Amber was incredibly responsive, professional, and supportive from start to finish. She answered all my questions quickly and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Truly top-notch service — I highly recommend the brand without hesitation!

Concerning verification process and poor communication

I placed an order directly through Nivada Grenchen’s website and paid via PayPal with VISA 3D Secure verification.

Shortly after payment, I was asked via email to provide a selfie holding my ID and a photo of my payment card (showing the last 4 digits). I found this request inappropriate, especially given that the transaction had already been verified through PayPal and VISA.

I declined and asked for clarification or a secure alternative, but did not receive a clear explanation. Communication was slow and largely repetitive.

I then requested cancellation of the order. This was not handled promptly, and I ultimately had to open a PayPal case to move things forward.

Only after escalation was the order cancelled and the refund processed in full.

While I did receive my money back, the overall experience raised concerns about their verification practices and customer handling.

The worst shipping delays

I created an order for a Super Antarctic 3 6 9 on Feb 14th 2026. They did communicate a little when I enquired about what was going on. Today is March 26, 2026 and still no watch. Last communication I received said it would be sent out first week of April and received mid April.

I have several watches, and my experience as a buyer from this company has been awful. Out of the many name brand and micro-brand watches I have purchased, this has by far been the slowest except for a few pre orders. Even watches bought off gray market coming from other countries made it to my house in a couple weeks.

There is just no real reason I can see for their lack of expediency. We expect more from these businesses charging this kind of money. My Aragon watch I ordered 2 days ago is arriving today. I was seriously considering another color of Super Antarctic... but this has totally changed my mind. I will not order another watch from them with this kind of delay. Sad, because I was really excited about their products...

I purchased a Nivada Grenchen Antarctic…

I purchased a Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Glacier watch, which stopped working after only a few uses. I filed an official complaint with the company, explaining that the watch only runs for 3–4 hours and the crown cannot be wound properly.

Despite providing all the details and requesting repair, replacement, or refund, the company has not responded in any way. As a watch collector, I know this is a clear mechanical defect, yet there has been zero customer support or acknowledgment.

Extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and response. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

Flat link bracelet

I placed my order on 2/12. You charged my card and I got an order confirmation and no other information regarding an estimated ship date or anything. My order is 14305. I sent multiple messages through my account page on your website asking for an update or anything. I eventually asked for a refund if you could not get me an update. Nothing, total silence, no response at all. It's three weeks since the order was placed and it just shows as "unfulfilled" with no other updates. I am very disappointed. Please give me an update.

Terrible Customer Service.

Ordered a flat link bracelet for my Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic. No response after a week. No response to my emails to three different directions. Eventually got through via WhatsApp and got refund after about three weeks. Not a good experience.

Horrible communication

Horrible communication, my watch came with a visual defect. I’ve had it sent off for repair for 2 months just to get a dial replaced and still don’t have it back. They tell you the order is ready and yet it doesn’t ship for more than 3 weeks after that.
