Hello to all watch aficionados!
As true connoisseurs of the horology world, you must be searching for a store review here. And that’s grand and correct. Store reviewing is a good practice to discover more about a site that you plan to buy for. Therefore, finding out some details and other customers’ experiences does not harm.
You have probably come across perfecttime.is recently. That means that you are probably looking for a replica watch. First of all, let me congratulate you on this choice. Whether it is your first replica watch or just another timepiece in your collection, owning a good replica is always trendy, voguish, and attractive.
Let me give you my piece of review about this store. I had to deal with this store some months ago and maybe my experience will be helpful for you.
Quick overview about perfecttime.is
I really find the name of the website attractive and suggestive. The “perfect time” sounds pretty good, given the fact that the store offers replica timepieces. So, the connection between the specifics of the store and its domain is evident and you can easily intuit what this store is about.
So, concluding, this website gives you the possibility to buy replica watches from different brands.
An important thing I want to mention about this store is that, unfortunately, detailed information about the history of the store and its team is missing. I couldn’t find the “About Us” page to get acknowledged with the credos of the store and with its distinctive features. The vendor did not take the effort to include such a page in order to bring his potential customer closer.
Site architecture
The site architecture is pretty simple. And by saying “site architecture” I refer to the aesthetic look and structure of the homepage, as well as the listing pages displaying watches. “Simple” refers more to “scarce”, rather than to easy-going. On one hand, the store is indeed easy-going, because all of the menus are intuitive and clear for any type of visitor, with no specific technical background. On the other hand, it is scarce because there is no About Us page, any Blog, Warranty Policies page, and Return and Refund pages, among others.
In general terms, the homepage just displays the available brands. In addition, the listing pages display only the replica watches with a small description. I will describe the homepage in detail a little bit later, but the overall impression of the site architecture is that something is missing.
Homepage
Overall, the homepage looks friendly and pleasant to the eye. This is due to the clean white background. To begin with, the top banner looks humble and modest, featuring a matte purple font on which the unique selling proposition is placed. The unique selling proposition sounds like “Give yourself the perfect time. Manage your time well and work regularly. How to live a good day is how to live a good life”. The vendor invites the customer to explore more with this motivational quote. Right under it, you can press the “Shop” clock to go directly to the watch listings.
Down the page, you discover the brand availability. Unlike most other replica watch stores placing watches on the homepage, this store opts for placing the brand portfolio instead. Therefore, we find out that the replica watch store offers the following brands: Breitling, Bremont, Cartier, Hublot, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, Omega, Oris, Panerai, Redo, Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tissot, and Zenith.
Further on, you can find some general descriptions of some of these brands. The homepage ends up with a concluding piece of content about the store. In general lines, it says that the store has a large collection of brands and it always strives to be the best replica website.
I expected to find some links to important and valuable information like FAQs, Quality descriptions, Shipping specifications, etc..,. on the footer of the homepage. But, these are missing. Instead, you can find a list of different languages to which you can switch the site.
I neither found these important links on the top menu bar of the homepage. The bar consists of the Home, Basket, Checkout, Contact Us, My Account, and Shop sections. In the right upper corner, there is a Search Products tool that can help you go straight to the desired model.
That’s the whole homepage structure. No Men and Women categories, no sections and links to relevant information for customers, and no engaging banners announcing some discounts or offers. Moreover, no specifications about the shipping, no testimonials, and no details about the country of origin of the offered replica watches. This is why I initially said that the homepage of the store looked somehow scarce.
Listing Pages
After selecting the “Shop” page, I was redirected to the watches page. All replica watches come in alphabetical order by default. If you want to go to a specific brand, you find the Product Category on the right side of the page. In contrast, on the left side of the page, you find a Sorting Filter. Therefore, you can categorize the replica watches according to their popularity, average rating, latest, low to high (price), and high to low (price).
Once you select a certain brand from the Product Category, it automatically displays the available collections. As a result, you can pick the needed collection, if you know for sure what you are looking for.
I didn’t find it difficult to understand how and where to find the necessary item I was looking for. Therefore, I can say that the navigation process is quite smooth and intuitive. There is a little problem with the navigation speed between pages. The pages take some time to load. But, it’s not critical and disturbing.
The listing pages don’t include the segmentation tool for men’s and ladies’ replica watches. Therefore, in case you look for a female watch, you have to use the searching tool only. Similarly, there is no price filter. You just have to find a specific watch to see its price. But you cannot select a specific price range in the store.
Watches characteristics and their prices
I was looking for a Tag Heuer Carrera Mother of Pearl Lady replica watch for my sister. I found it at 190 Euro. Since I’m from the USA, I would have liked to convert the price into $ to understand better how much I had to pay for it. But, there is no currency convertor available and all prices are displayed in Euro.
For this price, the replica watch features a stainless steel bracelet, but it is not specified what grade of steel. Considering the price, I suppose it’s about 316L steel (probably). The replica watch includes an automatic movement. Again, I can suppose it’s an Asian movement since no clear specs about the country of origin are available. The description includes info about the diameter, dial color, watch markers, and brand collection. No mentions of the water resistance or warranty period (in case there is one) are available.
You can inspect the condition of the replica watches with the help of the additional pictures from the description page. However, there isn’t much to understand. The pictures seem to be taken from stocks, or at least, they don’t look natural. To have a clear picture of the condition of the watch I wanted, I wrote an email to the customer support service requesting more real pictures of the model.
Unfortunately, the only answer I received back was that a customer representative would soon send the pictures. The “soon” never came though, and I never received any real picture.
Generalizing the price range, the store offers replica watches at 130-250 Euro, approximately. For such a price, all of the replica watches use an automatic Asian movement and 316 steel. It is unknown whether you can opt for a waterproof replica watch (even with an additional cost) since the information is missing.
(Confusing) discounts
It seems that all replica watches from the perfecttime.is are on discount. They all feature the “sale” label. What does it specifically mean?
I’ll give you a concrete example and you will make your own conclusion.
The Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback is at 188 Euro. The price is discounted from the 23700 Euro standard price, according to the site info. What is the customer supposed to think? That the initial price was 23700 Euro and the vendor was so generous that he cut it to 188 Euro?! Therefore, the discounts are so unreal and even absurd for certain watches.
I can’t consider such a “loyalty” program a convincing one. Unfortunately, I didn’t remain surprised by this store’s discounts. They are unreal and convey to me the message that the “discounted” price is in fact, the standard price.
Other (missing) details
I was waiting for a response from the customer support team to send me the real pictures. I thought I would continue the discussion with it by asking for details about shipping prices, countries, and periods. Moreover, I planned to talk about the watches’ warranties and return policies. Since I never received a reply from the customer support team, I couldn’t find these specs out.
Sadly, the site hides these informational particularities. Therefore it is impossible to find out where it ships, at what costs, and how it is possible to claim a refund. This aspect takes away the desire to buy any replica watch from this store.
Bottom line
A simple, modest, strict replica watch store. Despite the intuitive navigation, there are a lot of questions uncovered. The customer support service leaves a lot to desire, unfortunately. It’s not excluded that the replica watches might look good. But, I never got to see them in real pictures. The price policy and discounts do not seem real at all. Believe it or not, I found many promising alternatives on top-rated sources. Therefore, you can compare this store with many (better) others.
This store is one of the few that do not explain the warranty, shipping, and refund policies in separate sections. This makes me wonder how the vendor expects the customers to trust him. I don't claim that this store is a scam. Absolutely not. But, it reveals no customer-oriented attitude and there is a huge communication lack between the vendor and the final buyer.
