They take you for a sucker. I had a breakdown of charges. I cannot comment on what I am not familiar with, however I am familiar with battery replacement. $29.95 to replace a battery. Totally out of line. I always read reviews but this time I did not. If I did I would have not entered into this transaction in the first place.

Sent my eclissi in. All it needed was a pin. No big deal. Two months later they email me and say we dont have the part. That took two months. Then they say if you want your watch back its 14 dollars shipping. 14 dollars to ship from ny to conn less than 100 miles a way. What a rip off

They say they specialize in your brand.
They receive my watch and say it has to go directly to the manufacturer... 2 months I hear nothing I call they say they haven't heard from the manufacturer so I cal the manufacturer. They say yes we went them a quote 4 weeks ago. (I have called weekly after the first month because they told me 2-4 weeks). Watch needed a battery... specialize in a product you can't change a battery in.
Then they threaten to sue me for talking to the manufacturer to get my watch back.
WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH ANY ONLINE COMPANY!

Scam
December 14, 2016

This business is actually a pretty good scam. They say they specialize in your watch and brand so I send it in and I pay to sent it in because I could be ever get the pre-paid shipping to show. I send it in to have a simple part repairs and to be buffed and polished as it was one of their choices of services. Well they then come back to me a few days after they receive it and say the part I need has been discontinued but now I have to pay triple of what I paid to ship it to them, to get my watch back! It's kind of brilliant of a scam. You have people send in their watches, say you can't fix them and charge an outrage shipping charge to get it back. It's a $700 watch so of course I'm going to pay $30 to ship it back. And the service that I wanted to begin with, which was a polish and a buff, they did not do! Why? Is that machine discontinued as well? What I find upsetting is that I can buy this watch on Amazon and even walmart.com (which I'm not happy about by the way) and yet they say the part is discontinued? But they are still making the watch... anyway I would suggest staying away.

They also gave me an outrageous quote. I said no. They are charging me $18 to ship it back. Even more outrageous. And it was a charge I was not told about before I sent my watch. DO NOT USE THEM.

I saw they offered what looked like a good deal on a watch repair so I e-mailed them first and was told the repair I needed was "typically" in the $30 range so I sent them my watch. Estimate came back at over $300! Atfer saying I only needed the repair of the pusher versus the "overhaul" they reduced the price $20 as a courtesy and still over $300. Said to send the watch back and cost me $18.89. I agree with above commenst, they want your watch and if they get to do the repair they are charging an excessive amount. If nt they will ship it back to you and make money that way! Shipping charges are outrageous as a watch could ship USPS in a falt rate box for $5. Do not use these people as all they are after is your watch and your money.

They said the shipping was free. I printed off the lable and took it to UPS, however they checked and it wasen't prepaid. Cost me $20.00 to ship. Today I recieved an email alerting me that my watch had not been recieved, (yet). This started a long process of typnig to the online customer service person, who stated that it was basically my fault for not printing out the right form? Anyway she was not going to help me get the shipping money I spent.
I had sent an email (prior to emailing the online customer support person), and a few minutes later another email telling me my watch had been recieved. All this trouble just to send in a watch for repair. They will do without my business... Tim

Sending your watch to watchrepairusa.com is the equivalent to sending your watch into a black hole. No human communication. Serviced watch comes back in substandard condition and takes months to receive. Do not send your valuable watches to watchrepairusa.com
