DO NOT BUY

DO NOT BUY, SCAM

Never left a review before, but this was a horrible experience. This company appears to sell either used or defective items labelled as new. I bought a pair of sunglasses, when it arrived I noticed massive scratches on one of the lenses, it was definitely a factory defect, as the scratches were on the internal lens. I asked for a replacement, had to pay additional £8 for shipping, as I needed the pair for my trip abroad and they said they cant guarantee itll arrive on time with the regular free shipping, I asked them to cover the £8, as its their fault, they refused. I paid the full amount, the new pair just arrived with the EXACT same defect, I specifically asked for the pair to be checked before its sent to me, it clearly wasnt, dont let the prices fool you, these guys are arent trust worthy, they seem to be getting the defective items that dont pass quality checks at the original factory, and sell them on here as new. DO NOT TRUST THIS WEBSITE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Watches 2u have repaid my refund in full, minus my return postage. They request you fill out a returns email before you post items back at your own expense. I have repurchased from another company because their returns policy is much easier.

I received the wrong colour "casioak" gshock. Ordered black with white and received black with neon green. Not the worst in the world but not what I ordered.
Will not be buying from again.
I cannot be bothered faffing around with customer service returns etc.
Keeping the watch and will just get the black and white model elsewhere.

Very disappointing and unacceptable experience.

I purchased a watch from Watches2U at the price displayed on their website, and the money was taken from my account. I never received an order confirmation or any information about my order.

After contacting customer service, I was told that they had made a mistake with the price and that they would not be sending me the watch.

I understand that mistakes can happen, but this was their mistake, not mine. I purchased the watch at the price shown on their website and paid for it in good faith.

What is even more frustrating is that I am now left without the watch and without my money. If they are not going to honour the order, then I expect my money to be refunded immediately and in full.

I should not have to chase a company for my own money back because of an error they made on their website.

Very poor experience and very disappointing customer service. I would not recommend this company.

Cannot buy through Paypal

I purchased a watch through the option of Paypal, only to get an immediate refund because my Paypal could not be verified? I buy everything with Paypal & have never had this issue. If I can't pay with Paypal then forget it. Paypal is my insurance. Makes me wonder if this site is legit because you can buy positive reviews in Google. I knew it was too good to be true. 20/08 update. I contacted Paypal regarding this issue and was told I should not have issue with verification or security checks so I disagree with Watches2U generic reply. I actually had a suspicious $76 transaction from Malta the same day I tried to buy this watch which I successfully disputed with my bank, so I don't think I anyone should trust this site with their so-called security checks.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration this has caused.

Our system carries out an automatic security and verification check on every order before it can be approved. On this occasion, the order did not pass the required checks, so the system automatically cancelled the order and your refund has been processed.

We completely understand that you regularly use PayPal and have never experienced this issue before. Unfortunately, once our system flags an order during its security checks, we must follow the outcome of the system to ensure the safety and security of all orders.

We appreciate your understanding, and we hope this clarifies that the payment was not simply rejected — the order was automatically stopped and the refund has already been processed.

Kind regards

Great prices and excellent customer service

They delivered my order very quickly and when I raised a question about the specifications of the watch I bought they came back to me straight away and we were able to sort everything out in no time.

I cannot fault their customer service which was excellent and they were a pleasure to deal with.

I expect I will use them again as their prices are competitive and they are a great company to deal with.

Avoid at all costs, they are a scam site

I wish I'd read the reviews before placing my order. The website had all the warning signs of a scam, and I should have trusted my instincts. I only ordered because they advertised next day delivery, and I needed two watches urgently.

Within 10 to 15 minutes of placing my order, alarm bells started ringing. I never received a confirmation email, and when I logged into my account there was no record of my order. I contacted customer service to ask what was happening.

They replied saying my order was being processed and would be dispatched shortly. They claimed a confirmation email had been sent and suggested I check my Spam folder. They also said I would receive tracking details once the order was dispatched. The problem is there was no confirmation email anywhere, and they completely ignored my concern that my account showed no order at all.

The following morning I emailed again asking them to cancel the order and issue a refund. Since then, I've had complete radio silence. Their website lists a customer service phone number, but when you call it you're met with a recorded message saying they don't currently offer phone support. That leaves email as the only contact method, and they simply aren't responding.

At this point, I believe they're deliberately delaying their response until the order has been dispatched so they can refuse the cancellation. Fortunately, I've already started the chargeback process with my bank, so I'll recover my money one way or another.

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend reading the reviews before ordering and proceeding with caution.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry for the frustration and concern caused by not receiving your order emails.

Having reviewed your order, we can see that the email address entered at checkout contained a spelling error, with “gmaill” entered instead of “gmail”. This meant that your order confirmation and delivery updates could not reach your intended inbox.

We can confirm that your order was successfully processed and delivered, and that the parcel was signed for upon receipt.

We completely understand how concerning this must have been, particularly as you were expecting your order urgently. You are, of course, welcome to return the items in accordance with our returns policy. We will also contact you directly to check whether you would like to proceed with a return and to assist you further.

We’re sorry that this situation caused you to believe there was an issue with your order. We genuinely appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention and giving us the opportunity to clarify what happened.

Kind regards

Hello,

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as the watch was intended to be a gift for your niece.

After reviewing your order, we can see that the return request submitted indicated that you wanted a refund rather than a replacement. Our returns team primarily works from the details provided on the return form, which in this case specified a refund.
Our customer service team did make an internal note that you were hoping to receive a replacement instead, but unfortunately this was overlooked during the returns process, and we sincerely apologise for that error.

We'd also like to reassure you that we would never intentionally send a faulty item to any of our customers.

We completely understand your frustration with the delay and the inconvenience this has caused. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team so we can improve our processes and help prevent this from happening again.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we're truly sorry for the disappointment.

Kind regards

I ordered a watch from your company as…

I ordered a watch from your company as a birthday present for my wife, and it has arrived defective. This is completely unacceptable.
After raising a support ticket, I was advised to purchase and replace the battery myself, with the promise of only £10 reimbursement. This response is frankly insulting. You are fully aware that no reputable shop will replace a watch battery for just £10. This feels like an attempt to avoid taking responsibility for supplying a faulty product.
As a result of your poor service, my wife has been left disappointed and upset on her birthday, with no proper gift to present. This situation reflects very badly on your company’s standards and customer care.
I was expecting this issue to be resolved properly and without further inconvenience. My order number is 2012884.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your wife's birthday was affected by this experience, and we completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a watch that was not working as expected.

We can see we offered a £10 battery replacement or a return for full refund or exchange.

Our priority was to try to find the quickest solution so that your wife could still receive and enjoy her birthday present without the delay of returning the watch. This is why we offered to reimburse the cost of a battery replacement locally, as many customers prefer this option to avoid waiting for an exchange.

We sincerely apologise that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

Best regards

Very suspicious company

Very suspicious company, can not be trusted. I have recieved my order (glasses) and it looked nothing like the pictures so I requested to return it to which I have recieved no reply or return instructions, I have also contacted their customer service via their website because the email and number stated do not work and still no reply- this was over a week ago. I have left a review two days ago explaining this to which they have replied saying that they did respond and send me return instructions but this is simply not true- I have recieved no response from them at all (checked my spam and junk email boxes too) and when I placed the order I did get confirmation email and shipping email so it is clearly not an email issue and they clearly lied in their response to my review on top of their non-existent customer service and not responding to my return request. Looks like a scam to me.
In response to the company’s reply below. Now I have recieved the email- strange isn’t it how I have not recieved any previous ones and it has been over two weeks I had to leave a review twice and raise the issue with my bank so now you have sent me the returns email. And it is obvious that you are lying about having sent any return emails before this because they are not in my inbox or junk mail etc.

Hello,

We're very sorry for the disappointment and completely understand your frustration.

At the time you placed your order, the product was shown on our website as backorder, meaning we needed to obtain stock from our supplier before we could dispatch it. Unfortunately, our supplier later informed us that they no longer had the item available. As a result, we had no option but to cancel your order and issue a full refund.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. We appreciate your feedback and understand your disappointment. We're continually working to improve the accuracy of our stock availability to help prevent situations like this in the future.

Kind regards
