Watch received is not as per specification – I purchased a Casio Baby G 169R-6 on 29th June, 2013 order no.12189/136010092AU. The specifications on Prime Watch Store website state that this watch has a stainless steel band (a point important to my selection) and on receipt of the watch it has a plastic band which is entirely unsuitable. I have checked with a jeweller as to whether it would… Read more

be possible to buy a metal band and replace the plastic one. Unfortunately owing to the configuration of the watch and band this is not possible. This watch was intended to be a birthday gift for my daughter who is a landscape gardener and of course needs a very strong band on any watch she wears. About 8 years ago I bought this same watch from a local retailer and it did have a stainless steel band and this current purchase was intended to be a replacement for the first watch which had worn out.

I have emailed The Prime Watch store twice with no reply also have tried to phone on several occasions and left messages to have my call returned - nothing from Prime Watch Store.

Watch Purchase – This was by far my worst experience buying something off the internet. I've made the purchase on the 20th of June and it is now 28th July and I still have not received the watch. I have contacted the Prime Watch Store on 4 occasions and although they've responded to my first email, saying they are investigating, they have not made contact since.… Read more

In one of my emails I have asked for a refund and I have not heard back. Since they've charged me $300 and provided such incredibly poor service, I intend to pursue this with complaints to the consumer complaints organisations in both NZ and Australia. Maybe this way I can at least get my money back. So be warned, don't shop from these people, you're likely to be ripped off and treated with the worst customer service experience of your life. By the way you can see from all the other reviews that they are consistently terrible, I wish I had looked into it before making the purchase.

Their customer service is appalling

Happy with great collection & prompt response – I purchased DKNY watch recently and have received immediately, I have been very pleased with it. PWS is a great seller and have a beautiful watches collection. I love my watch and am happy to refer my friends as well as colleagues to review this great collection of watches. I like their prompt responses as well...! Prompt support

Fossil Watch – Bought a Fossil watch for my son and after initially receiving it within the 7-10 days as stated, I was pleased. However, the watch stopped working after a month and I have sent a number of emails and have tried to call through but it just rings out...I am very frustrated and I can't get any response!!

Prime Watch Store doesn't rate any stars – I ordered a watch 6 weeks ago and after 1 month was told they couldn't supply me with my chosen watch because the only one they had in their warehouse was cracked, despite their website showing availability and still does. I am still waiting for my refund which was promised 2 weeks ago. Needless to say I would not recommend buying anything from Prime Watch Store. Disappointing in every way

worst experience ever! – Their customer service was very poor! Still waiting for the item, it has been over 20 days and recieved no compensation for this inconvenience. I have sent emails and left messages but received no reply until I threatened to cancel the order. I could have bought the item direct from the US for a lot less, but went with the store as it said 7-10 delivery. I would not recommend this store to anyone.

Still waiting – I have ordered a MK watch a week ago and am still waiting for dispatch. I have emailed both customer service and info and have yet to hear back. MK has already taken $300 from my bank and I'm still waiting despite having provided all information such as verification. This is taking too long and there is no express delivery available. Poor response with customer service

Excellent service – I had a $150 worth of credit from Scoopon and used it to buy the Armani AR2434 from Prime Watch Store but after receiving the item I decided to send it back to get another one. I contacted the customer service first and they said they will replace it at no extra charge. Fast delivery and friendly customer service.

Santa's saviour! – Prime Watch Store came through with the goods when I was in a panic before Christmas with my order. When I found out that my watch was being supplied from overseas and would therefore take the maximum time indicated it was 'line ball' if it would make it in time. I contacted the local (Sydney) customer support and they found me an alternate (close… Read more

match) from local stock.

Great customer service! Not only was [name removed] able to help me but he was willing to provide the sort of service you'd expect from a face to face experience (where there is nowhere to hide). He crossed the virtual void and took my online shopping experience to a personal level and ensured that I received my goods in time (and all before Christmas). With a little but of effort I was able to talk to a local representatitve who was willing AND able to help me out of a bind

Super Happy – I claimed my scoopon voucher on a very chic Armani @ the lowest price I could find on any website. I had some issues with the redemption and the customer service was very quick and helpful. will definitely buy again from them, as they have the best range of watches I have seen with very competitive prices. Reliable, great customer service, great range

Exemplary customer service, Fantastic product knowledge, delivering on promise – A satisfied customer. I have dealt with the company on three occasions all of which I have received the very best service from initial stage of ordering to delivery. I will be using them when ever i need to buy another watch and not only that I will highly recommend them. Good, honest, efficient and courteous service

Fast and organized – I just got my package. The delivery was on time and as promised on their website. There was no delay and I didn`t need to follow up with them about my purchase. Everything was smooth just like other online shopping websites. Besides, I really liked their collection of watches and the user friendly website to navigate through. On time delivery

Responsive and Caring Customer Service – Their customer service has been among the best I have ever dealt with. They quickly responded when I needed them and as the old saying goes, bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied. These guys really seem to care about their customers and their reputation. I couldn't be happier. Thank you. Great products, Great Prices, Responsive, Caring and Curteous.

unable to deliver – I purchased a watch from prime watch store online and delivery was scheduled for the 24/12/2012. Recieved the watch on the 28/12/2012. upon opening the box they had sent the wrong item. I had contacted Prime watch store for an explaination and the website was showing incorrect item code for watch displayed. On the 02/01/2013 I had received another… Read more

watch which wasn't at all meant for me. I posted both items back and requested a refund for the item I purchased plus postage for returning 2 watches. Disapointing experience, But Prime watch store handled the refund quickly and efficiently. Price was right Very disorganised

Bad business practice – I bought a Guess watch through dutyfreecentral.com (details can be referred to DFC's review), the watch was received on 1/8/12. There're some issues with the watch in September 2012. Finally, I was given Prime Watch Store's contact for warranty in October 12. (Prime Watch Store was the supplier and I received the package sent from their… Read more

address as well.) I sent off the watch to Prime Store on 30/1012 (via registered mail). I didn't receive any feedback from Prime Store, so I called them on 14/12/12. The receptionist told me that the person, "[name removed]", was away and directed me to email him, then I did send email to him on the same day. Still nothing heard from Prime Watch Store, I called Prime Watch Store again on 8/1/13. The same receptionist answered my call and told me "[name removed]" was not in the office. I repeated my concerns again over the phone and mentioned that I sent email him before, my next option is to go to their office in person, then, I was transferred to "[name removed]"! "[name removed]" said he remembered my name (so he's aware of my warranty claims). But he said, I didn't buy the watch from Prime Watch Store, and he is not responsible for my claim, instead, I should go to DFC for warranty.

Prime Watch Store held my purchased item for 2 months, only after I kept contacting them, told me they're not responsible. "[name removed]" also gave me an example that, if I bought the watch from David Jone's , I should go back to the retailer for any issues according to Australian laws.

I bought it from DFC online, it's not a physical shop. DFC guaranteed local repair, and directed me the Prime Watch Store as the place to go, now Prime Watch Store refused my claims after receiving the returned watch for more than 2 months! During the whole saga, neither with DFC nor Prime Watch Store, contacted me. I had to call and email them many times after long waitings. the price poor quality, no warranty done so far, terrible services

Problem Solved! – As my previous review, my problem has been solved! And prime watch store kindly refunded my money to me for the faulty Burberry watch that hasn't been working ever since we bought it. Turns out Burberry took forever to have the watch checked but still didn't fix it and Prime Watch Store decided to give me my money back. Excellent service!

Misleading information – Bought a watch from prime in good time for Christmas - quotring 6-10 working days for delivery to NZ. 14 days later the on-line tracking system shows it is in New York postal centre. No indication that the watch would be shipped from US or would not have bought. Clearly it will not arrive in time for Xmas. Misleading shipping information

Quick – I wanted to share my experience about my purchase at this website.

They sent the watch to me via express post and I just received it… Read more

Great shopping experience – I had a great experience buying from this store a couple of weeks ago. The website was very easy to search and find stuff.. the prices were very competitive and i found exactly what i wanted. I bought a kids watch and a men's Bulova watch for gifts . They arrived within 10 days and when I followed up on the shipping before they arrived, I was… Read more

given a very polite and good customer service on the phone. I know a couple of my friends who have bought things from PrimeWatchStore and they've all had a good experience.. I definitely recommend these guys if you are looking to buy watches online. Inexpensive, Easy to use website, reliable

Worst Website Ever! – This was the worst online shopping experience I have ever had. After recieveing the Wrong watch I called and was informed that the watch I wanted was out of stock and I could send the wrong watch back and wait for my watch that i originally ordered. After doing so I recieved no compensation for postage although it was their stuff up. After… Read more

numerous arguments over the watch I decided I just wanted my money back and wouldn't worry about the watch as it was for my boyfriends birthday which had now passed because of all their stuffing about.

It took weeks to get my refund and when I eventually did I get an email stating that they have now sent me the correct watch and want payment even after i said to just forget it and they make it out like they are looking after their customers.. Do not shop at prime watch store!!!! The worst shop possible, you're better off spending your money elsewhere!

Paid for a new watch and received a used watch!! – I ordered a ladies Skagen watch and after a two week delay received a second-hand watch in the mail. The watch itselfwas dirty and the leather band was in a very poor condition. needless to say i was furious. I contact customer service at Prime Watch Store and am yet to receive any response. I think their behaviour in this matter is deceptive, indeed fraudulent. Used goods passed off as new

Still waiting! – I ordered 3 watches using scoopons along with additional buy-ins. I had planned to give one as a Christmas gift. I have written many emails to try and track down my orders and have been told that the person dealing with my order was going to be on holiday till end of January, its now end of February and I've written at least 4 emails since this date and have had no response. ??? What am I to do next? Still haven't got a single order.

Great price, great service! – I was initially a bit cautious about the authenticity of watches given the discount price they are offered at. Now I can happily report back to those who might have the same concern that I got an expert to check the two items I purchased and the result is all good: - Armani AR0181 - Armani AR2434 The website I think should be used as a… Read more

model for other online retailers, easy to navigate, easy to find what you're after and compare. Makes it much easier to decide.

The shipment was quick and it all went real smooth. There was no need for an exchange or refund and thus I can't report back in that area but I assume that it will be the same great service. Great prices, easy to find and compare watches on their website, quick shipment

Bad experience shopping with them – Bought voucher via Groupon as I was after a Pulsar by Seiko lady's watch. Firstly, they did not have the watch images available for this brand (which was offered as part of the deal) so it was hard to choose a style. Then, they send photos via email (after I had to google them) and promised they were going to upload photos, which they did after… Read more

several days. Then I put my order in and they could not provide with the watch due to some scratches on the face of the watch (unable to find replacement). They requested me to pick another watch style! Finally I found another one but the price had be gone up.

After all this waiting and hassle, they were not willing to compensate for these problems so I requested my refund.

Not a good experience at all! Bad customer service They do not care about customer satisfaction

Great communication!!! Great Customer Service – I purchase a watch from this site through a Groupon voucher mid-December. I was a little hesitant at first knowing that these vouchers usually take a lot of time due to volume etc. However, It all went perfectly smoothly. I chose the watch I wanted, made the order and asked for it to be delivered by Christmas. Next day I received a call from a… Read more

manager informing me that it had been shipped out and that he had included a special gift - 5% my next order and a small perfume. I couldn't have asked for better service, communication and delivery.

I will be recommending this to all my friends and using that 5% voucher :) Reliable, inexpensive and perfect service
