Warranty Repairs
If your watch is still under warranty and requires a manufacturer defect repair, you will need to cover shipping costs and any additional fees (e.g., taxes and duties). However, once the repair is confirmed, we will refund the cost of shipping and any applicable additional fees, as long as the repair request is made within 30 days of purchase.
