Michelle in customer services

Michelle in customer services was outstanding, i tried to alter my sons rather expensive presage watch and lost the collars, tried a few jewelers but to no avail, in a bit of a panic emailed Seiko and Michelle sorted no questions asked about receipts, warranty etc all Michelle requested was digits off the case so as to ensure correct collars were sent, which they were
Fantastic service

I had lost the manual for an LCD watch from 1977 and couldn’t find anywhere what battery was needed. I requested the information and after a few emails, Michelle in customer services came back very quickly with a pdf of the manual and battery required. Thanks again for excellent support, battery now ordered.

Outstanding

Not only passed all expectations but extremely polite and helpful staff. Kept me updated through the whole process, went above & beyond which most companies won't. I would urge anyone who is purchasing a new watch no mater of cost buy SEIKO watch engineering at its best.

Excellent Servicing

Needed my lovely automatic alpiniste serviced as it was gaining several minutes per week. I posted it to Seiko, they did the necessary fairly quickly and it’s now accurate to within a few seconds a week. I know a quartz does all of this better, but it’s not the same, is it. There is something ‘alive’ about a timepiece that is just ever so slightly out, it makes you care for it a little more. Anyway, servicing by Seiko is a touch more expensive than a high street dealer or web merchant, but you know they know what their doing and it’s worth they extra for the quality.

My 40 year old Lorus watch has retired.

My Lorus watch is forty years old and the rear gasket has deteriorated. The manufacturer no longer carries spare parts so I have had to retire it. My son has bought me a new Lorus watch as a replacement and I’m happy to say it’s a perfect birthday present.

Very Good Experience and Great Watch!

My 1st Seiko 'watch' and subsequently my 1st experience with Seiko the brand.

Fantastic!

My first Calls to Seiko were answered by knowledgeable and friendly UK based staff. Then a few days later a mix-up with the Delivery (my fault) - was promptly and courteously resolved by Lawrence.

A Very Good Experience. Oh, and a lovely Watch, by the way.

Thanks to All at Maidenhead office.

Speedy uncomplicated service off the highest standards, to have had two problems with getting a watch I would normally be very angry and upset but I have faith and enjoy the level of help given by all at this company. Especially I must say from customer service lady Beverly many thanks I look forward to receiving my watch

Hello Lawrence,
I am very sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the service you have received. When a watch comes in, we test it to see if it is working within our specification and if it is not, it is repaired. If we find it is within specification, we return it with no work carried out. Please can you get in contact so I can review your specific case? You can contact me on beth.sedgwick@seiko.co.uk.
Many thanks

Warranty was not honoured

Warranty was not honoured. Bought a Willard from an AD in November 21.

Wore the watch like a normal human and did not drop it. Developed an issue with running fast and the rep at the AD said it was covered by warranty not to worry.

Sent off to Seiko via AD and lo and behold I had apparently knocked it and the balancing spring was out (this in my view is unprovable, my word against theirs). Required full service with no discourse. My AD refused to let me talk directly to Seiko. Service cost me £300.

Appalling service, was planning to get a Grand Seiko but no way with this experience.

Essentially I feel as if by wearing my watch I invalidated my warranty. If I kept it in box it may have been ok.

The customer service working directly with SEIKO Customer Service-v- Dealer.

I recoursed to Seiko, as the original Vendor of the watch required an absurd amount of money to send an automatic (self-winding) anaologue wrist watch for a service where the mechanism had clearly jammed. The watch has a significant virtual value to me as it is a replacement for a 21st Birthday gift some 40 years ago which had literally been worn to death over those 40 years.

Having made a request to Seiko UK to intervene, they actually contacted me directly and having agreed that the instrument had been stored correctly and although hardly worn, should not have seised the way it had.

They sent me a pre-paid tracking label and special delivery. Confirmed receipt of the instrument and the time expected to return the instrument and once completed a further e-mail to confirm that the maintenance was complete, and as an act of good faith/will would not be charging for the cost of the cleaning nor conveyance costs.

All documentation correctly filed including proforma invoice and 100% Credit Note in compliance with accountancy protocol,

So respectable and trustworthy, and able to comply with sensible time frames. It would appear that working directly with SEIKO Customer Services as opposed to watch dealer a more reliable course to securing good service. Most importantly that I was kept informed of the stages the instrurment was at and its final return to my hands.
