Warranty Guide

The manufacturer's warranty that comes with your watch defines the length of time the warranty is valid for, the types of problems that are covered under the warranty and the types of problems that are not covered under warranty. Most warranties cover similar faults and exclude similar issues. The below guide can help you understand what may and may not be covered by your warranty. Please note, this is a guide only. You must read the specific manufacturer's warranty that came with your watch to understand what it does and does not cover. Select the relevant brand of watch to view it's international warranty:
