General overview
watchesreplica.is represents an online store offering watch imitations of the most popular watch brands. The store claims to offer high-quality timepieces. The site promises to examine every single piece before selling them to the customers. By such means, the vendor monitors the quality and guarantees the full functionality of the timepieces.
This vendor mainly focuses on the following brands: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Tag Heuer, and Hublot. In addition, you can find some offers from Breitling, Omega, Frank Muller, Breguet, Bell & Ross. However, the last have fewer offers that the first segment of brands.
In addition to the main products, watches, the online vendor has an Accessories category. It includes straps and watches boxes. The listing is not rich at all; all accessories are included on one single page. If you need various accessories for various brands, there is a low probability to find them on watchesreplica.is.
Analyzing the price range of the platform, you can not say that it is a cheap market. The prices vary between 200$ up to 2000$. It probably depends on the materials used and the additional components included. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand clearly why is a watch ranging from 199-to 1399 $. Perhaps, it may also refer to the watch customization like waterproofness or original boxes. But, again, these are only my thoughts; a clear explanation was not possible to find on the site.
Watches categories
The vendor proposes a large variety of Rolex categories. In fact, the Rolex category is the richest one. It includes the Submariner, Datejust, Day Date, Air King, Cellini, Explorer, GMT Master, Daytona, Deeps, Milgauss, Oyster Perpetual Date, Pearlmaster, Sky-Dweller, and Yacht-Master. If you seek the Yacht-Master II you will find it either in the general Yacht Master category or via the search filter on the right upper corner.
Further on, the Breitling brand features the following categories: Avenger Seawolf, Bentley, Chrono Avenger, Chronomat, Colt, Cosmonaute, Montbrilliant, Navitimer, Superocean, and Transocean. The good thing is that this vendor offers the Superocean and Transoceanic categories. These are hardily seen on other similar platforms.
The Tag Heuer category includes not so many categories. Though, the listing includes the most demanded ones. Thus, you can find here the Aquaracer, Carrera, Formula 1, Grand Carrera, Link, Monaco, and Sir.
As for Omega, the vendor proposes the Aqua terra, Constellation, De Ville, Planet Ocean, Seamaster, and Speedmaster categories.
The Hublot limits to King Power, Classic Fusion, and Big Bang categories.
On the other hand, Patek Philippe is also rich in listing and proposes the Grand Complications, Complications, Aquanaut, Calatrava, Complicated, Gondola, Nautilus, and Twenty-4 categories.
The other brands don’t have categories. Their watches are just presented as a continuous listing.
Watches specifications
Some watches come with a description based on the main specifications. These refer to the brand, model, gender, type of movement, case size, dial type, and others. After this basic information, the customer receives the possibility to select the type of movement he opts for. The options include Automatic movement, Swiss movement, and top Swiss movement. Here is when I understood why the watch prices are so different in prices. Depending on the selected movement, the same watch can cost from 200 to 1700 $.
Below the general specs, you can find a detailed description emphasizing the value of the brand. In addition, some watches are accompanied by a video presentation. Therefore, the credibility and trust in the vendor increase substantially.
In addition, all watches come with photos so customers can inspect them attentively. On the other hand, there is no magnifier to take a closer look at the specific details.
Customer support assistance
2 main routes of getting in touch are available. The first one is via an instant chat. You have to leave your email and name to send your request successfully. The second is via traditional email. Again, you introduce your email and message. It’s not clear how much time it takes to receive an answer.
Payment methods
As far as it seems, the vendor access payments via Visa, Mastercard, and Bitcoin. It is pleasant to see a vendor accepting bitcoins. They’re pretty few in the industry. Though, I didn’t find any customer reviews directly on the site confirming the acceptance. You might want to give it a try).
Further on, Western Union transactions don’t seem to be accepted. At least, there is no specific info on the matter.
Return policy
As a customer, you can return your item. But, there are plenty of specifications you have to consider. Therefore, we suggest you get acquainted with them to be well informed.
For example, the vendor does not accept returns without first informing the customer support department about your intentions. Therefore, your intention might not be accepted.
Also, if you receive an item with a size error up to 2 cm, you will not be able to return or refund it. On the other hand, if the error is greater, you are eligible for a refund. Such specs should be taken into consideration.
Moreover, any attempt to return or refund should be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the reason. After the vendor’s analysis, you are accepted or refused.
Pros
-the site browses well. No errors or delays in page listing have been detected;
-the photos look fresh and attractive; the video materials add huge value;
-you can customize your watch and make it as qualitative as possible. Due to the Top Swiss movement feature, you can indeed have a great timepiece;
-the answer from the customer care assistant is rather fast. They present a customer-oriented attitude and friendly communication;
-the search filter indeed simplifies the searching process;
Cons:
-no gender segmentation is available on the site. The only way to browse lady accessories is via the search filter;
-no currency converter is available. The price is offered in $. I, as a customer, prefer to convert it to Euro and lacked this possibility;
-no clear discounts; we see the label Sale on certain timepieces, but we didn’t get what’s this about and what sale percentage is offered;
-we saw no customer feedback on the site. It’s like the site lacks the confirmation of its great and qualitative pieces. Would be great toes some reviews to improve credibility.
I usually check the quality and the trust rate on different sources and don’t limit myself to one single platform. Suggesting you do the same, to confirm or infirm online stores’ credibility. Several top-rated sources might be helpful for you.
