Every watch we sell is furnished with a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind, in conjunction with any remaining manufacturer’s warranty. If your watch develops a fault and is still covered by warranty, you can return it to us to be diagnosed by submitting a warranty enquiry. If the fault is covered by the warranty, it will be repaired free of charge. Warranty diagnosis takes 5 working days, with the repair time quoted once the diagnosis has been made. If your watch is covered only by the manufacturer's warranty, it will be sent to the manufacturer. A manufacturer report will be provided in 14 working days.

If your watch is mechanical, it may need winding. A mechanical watch will usually need around 40 rotations of the crown from completely unwound — a manual watch will resist when full, an automatic will go on winding forever. The crown on water resistant watches may need unscrewing before you begin. Automatic watches can run out of power while being worn if your movements aren't sufficient to keep the mainspring fully wound. If your watch has a quartz movement, it might need a change of battery.

A mechanical watch is powered by a tightly coiled mainspring. Manual mechanical watches must be hand wound to keep them in power, typically every other day. An automatic watch is also mechanical; however, it is predominantly wound by a rotor weight that turns with the wearer's movements. A quartz watch, however, is battery powered and extremely accurate. On average, a battery in a basic time-and-date quartz watch can last anywhere between one and five years.
