Watch Care & Specs
How do I size or adjust my watch strap?
Most straps arrive close to a standard fit. Metal bracelets can be adjusted by removing or adding links; leather and silicone straps have multiple buckle holes for a quick adjustment at home. For a bracelet resize beyond the included links, a local jeweler or watch shop can help in a few minutes.
What do the water resistance ratings mean?
Water resistance ratings tell you what a watch can handle, not how deep you can dive. 30M/3ATM: splash and rain resistant only - not for swimming or showering. 50M/5ATM: safe for swimming and light water activity. 100M/10ATM and above: safe for swimming, snorkeling, and most water sports. Check the specific rating on your watch’s product page.
How do I replace the battery in a quartz or digital watch?
Quartz and digital watches run on a replaceable battery that typically lasts 1-3 years depending on the movement and features. When it runs low, any local watch or jewelry shop can swap it in minutes. We recommend a professional replacement so the case is resealed properly and water resistance is preserved.
How do I care for and wind a mechanical or automatic watch?
Automatic watches wind themselves through wrist movement and typically hold a power reserve of 38-70 hours depending on the model - check your watch’s product page for the exact figure. If it stops, wind the crown 20-30 turns to restart it, or wear it daily to keep it running. A variance of about -10/+20 seconds per day is normal for a mechanical movement and is not a defect.
Does my smartwatch work with my phone?
Our smartwatches pair with both iOS and Android phones over Bluetooth. Download the companion app listed on the product page, enable Bluetooth, and follow the in-app pairing steps. Some advanced features, such as cellular calling, may vary by phone platform - check the product page for specifics.

Will I receive tracking information?

Warranty & Returns
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
Every watch includes a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and movement issues - such as a malfunctioning movement, faulty crown, or defective components under normal use.
What is not covered by the warranty?
The warranty does not cover accidental damage, cracked crystals from impact, or water damage from exceeding the watch’s water resistance rating. Normal battery replacement and strap wear are also not covered.
What is the return window?
You may request a return within 30 days of delivery for eligible items, no questions asked.
What condition must a returned watch be in?
Returned watches must be unused, undamaged, in original condition, and include the original box, papers, and accessories.
