Warranty

Official Manufacturers Warranty - For brands we are official stockists for we offer a manufacturers warranty typically for 1, 2, or 3 years. Please refer to your warranty booklet for detailed information on what your warranty covers. If the watch develops a fault within the warranty period you should send it directly to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. Please note you will have to cover postage fees for the repair for which we recommend using a tracked service. Please note 'warranty exclusions' below for defects not typically covered under manufacturer warranty.

WatchPilot Warranty - For brands we are third party stockists for we offer our own standard 2 year warranty unless otherwise stated on the timepiece. During this warranty period if your watch develops a fault you may return it to us for either repair, replacement, or a full refund. If the watch develops a fault within 30 days from your date of order we will cover the postage costs. If the fault occurs after 30 days it's the customers responsibility to cover the postage fees. We advise using a trackable service for returning all watches. Please note repairs generally take between 7-14 working days.

Watches that have defects with their movements such as abnormally gaining time, losing time, or not keeping proper time will be covered under our warranty program. Our warranty does not cover "external damage" to the product.

Warranty Coverage - For defective products under warranty purchased within 30 days our standard policy is to replace or refund the product in full. Please note we will not replace or refund products that are subject to faults covered within our list of warranty exclusions. For products purchased outside of 30 days we will repair the item, where a repair is not possible we will provide a replacement.

Batteries - The battery and reseal is covered by our 12-month guarantee. If the watch has not been maintained to the manufacturer's guidelines and serviced within the past 3 years, we cannot offer a guarantee on its future reliability.
