Returns and Cancellations Policy

EXTENDED CHRISTMAS RETURNS:

All items purchased from 4^th November 2024 may now be returned up until Jan 15th 2025. Standard terms apply below.

Right of Return: 

In accordance with UK consumer law, you have the right to return goods to us within 14 days of receiving the item without the need to provide a reason. However, WatchNation offers all our customers 30 days from receiving their item to return their goods for change of mind. To exercise this right, you can notify us of your intent to return the goods by completing the online returns form provided below or by contacting us at customerservices@watchnation.com. If you choose not to inform us via the form or email, it may cause delays in processing the return and affect the eligibility to receive a refund

Change of Mind Returns:

We appreciate that you may change your mind once you receive the item and decide that it is not suitable to you. Therefore, we will accept the return of your purchase within 30 days of receiving the item, provided you simply change your mind and the product is still in its brand new and unused condition.

You must check items for any signs of visual or mechanical defects & if the watch is suitable for you before removing tags/plastic etc.

You are entitled to try on your watch but do not carry out any alterations as this will affect your eligibility for a refund.

Eligibility for Refund:

To be eligible for a full refund, you must ensure that the product you wish to return meets the criteria outlined in our returns and refund policy. The items must be returned in the condition they were supplied. The watch must be returned in new condition.

Specifically, your item(s) should be returned:

• In its original packaging
• With applicable protective stickers still intact
• With the security tag attached
• With the purchase receipt and warranty card
• In its original gift box
• Including any additional extras that were originally included, such as spare links, instruction manuals, etc.
• Including any gift with purchase (if relevant)

Diminution of Value:

In the event that the watch shows clear signs of use in line with the Consumer Rights Directive IP/08/1474, we will reduce the amount of the refund to reflect the resale value of the item returned based on both the condition of the item returned and/or any missing parts, packaging etc.

This reduction can be up to 100% of the value of the purchase, including postage.

Non-Refundable Items:

We are unable to refund or exchange watches that have been altered, resized or customised by the customer or any other third party. WatchNation offers bracelet adjustments free of charge at the time of purchase.

Domestic Returns:

Return costs for change of mind are the responsibility of the buyer. The costs of any non-standard delivery charges will not be refunded and you will have to pay the costs of returning the item to us.

We cannot be held responsible for items damaged or lost during the return transit. We would advise customers to ensure that the item is appropriately packaged and insured.

International Returns:

If you are returning an item from outside the UK, please ensure that the package is clearly marked as ‘Returned Goods,’ and remember to tick the ‘Return Goods’ option on the customs declaration form. This will help prevent any import charges and taxes from being applied. We cannot be held responsible for items damaged or lost during the return transit. We would advise customers to ensure that the item is appropriately packaged and insured.

Multiple Returns:

If you frequently initiate returns for multiple orders, please be aware that we may exercise our discretion to impose a £15 deduction from your refund to offset our shipping and handling expenses.

Please review these terms carefully before proceeding with your return. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Next steps

Within 30 days

You have statutory rights in relation to any goods you purchase from us that are either not of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose or as described at the time of purchase.

Initially, we will attempt to troubleshoot the issue. If troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the issue, we will arrange a free postage label for you to return the watch to our premises. Our fully trained technical team will then conduct a range of tests based on the reported fault and produce an inspection report within 3 working days.

Following the tests/inspection, it is established that the item is defective we will arrange a free repair or replacement. However, in line with your statutory rights we can also offer a refund.

If following the tests, the technical team determines that the fault has been caused by damage (accidental or otherwise) or misuse whilst in your possession then you will not be entitled to a refund and will be liable for a £10 charge to have the watch returned to you.

If the watch is found not to be faulty, you will be responsible for the £10 cost of returning the watch to you, and we will provide you with the inspection report. Alternatively, upon your request, we can send the watch to the manufacturer’s repair centre for an assessment on your behalf, with you being responsible for the £10 postage cost to send it to the manufacturer.

If you choose to send the watch either directly or to us and we send on your behalf to the manufacturers service centre and they determine that the fault is due to accidental damage, misuse, or impact damage, you may incur charges for the repair.

After 30 days

For any watch-related issues, feel free to reach out to us through email at customerservices@watchnation.com. Before reporting the problem, we recommend carefully reading the instruction manual. Online guides and videos can be found on YouTube can be very helpful in understanding the mechanism in your watch.

If troubleshooting does not rectify the fault, we will direct you to the manufacturer’s service centre where your watch can be tested under your warranty. This will be more efficient than returning the watch to WatchNation as we have no in house repair centre. However, please note that if the manufacturer determines that the fault is a result of accidental damage, misuse, or impact damage, there may be a repair charge applicable.
