Grey Market Retailers

There is an old adage that states – if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

This is something that is very applicable to the watch industry, due to an influx of what are commonly referred to as Grey Market Sellers.

The following active online sellers are considered by WatchNation to be Grey Market Sellers and are not recognised by Seiko:

JomaShop

CreationWatches

City Watches UK

WatchesZon

Best Quality Watches

E-Global Central

WatchNation will not price match against any Grey Market Seller.

Seiko 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty

From Oct 1st 2024, Seiko has upgraded their manufacturer warranty to a 3-year period.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing your Seiko watch is covered by a valid manufacturer warranty. This warranty ensures repairs and replacements are covered according to Seiko’s policy, guaranteeing a higher level of protection for your investment. Seiko manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for a 3-year period after purchase. This means that if your watch malfunctions due to a manufacturing defect within three years, Seiko will repair or replace it free of charge.

What Does the New Warranty Cover?

Seiko’s new three-year warranty continues to cover the watch head (movement and case) as well as the metal bracelet, highlighting the brand’s commitment to quality and durability. Whether you’re looking for a sophisticated dress watch or a rugged dive watch, Seiko stands behind their craftsmanship and longevity.

And here’s an added bonus: if you’ve purchased a Seiko watch between July 1st, 2024, and September 30th, 2024, this enhanced warranty will retroactively apply to your watch too!

Seiko’s UK-based Customer Service & Repair Centre in Maidenhead continues to provide expert servicing for all UK and Ireland customers, ensuring your watch remains in perfect working order for years to come.

For any inquiries, you can contact Seiko’s service team at +44 (0)1628 770 001 or email them at service@seiko.co.uk.

Risks of Grey Market Sellers

Grey market sellers often provide limited or third-party warranties that may not offer the same comprehensive coverage as a Seiko manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s why you should be cautious:

Limited Coverage: Third-party warranties may only cover certain components of your Seiko watch, or they may have exclusions for specific types of damage (e.g., water damage, accidental drops).

Authorisation Issues: Repairs under a third-party warranty may not be authorised by Seiko, potentially voiding the manufacturer’s warranty altogether. This could leave you responsible for repair costs.

Customer Service Challenges: Getting repairs or replacements under a third-party warranty can be a hassle, especially if the warranty company is located in a different country. Dealing directly with Seiko ensures a smoother process.

Benefits of Buying from WatchNation

By purchasing your Seiko watch from an authorised retailer like WatchNation, you can be confident that your watch is genuine and comes with a valid manufacturer warranty. WatchNation, as an authorized Seiko retailer, provides exceptional customer service, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience should you require any assistance with your Seiko watch. Since WatchNation is authorised by Seiko, any repairs or replacements under the warranty will be handled efficiently and directly with Seiko, minimising delays and complications.
