“Bought online. Very disappointed on this occasion (have had positive prior experiences). Purchased a watch. Arrived nicely packaged but not working and appeared not to have been checked. Returned to a store and sent back for replacement. Unfortunately replacement also not working and sent to store for my collection in very poor packaging. I have contacted customer services and will post review again based on their response.”

“Lovely young lady served me bit the box for my purchase was broken and I was told well you either have it or not. Disgusting customer service from the gent and older lady. Disappointed is an understatement this is for a present and it looks like I purchased it from a jumble sale”

“Non-engaging staff member. Felt like I was a hindrance asking to look at what i ended up buying. One till in operation for the whole shop. Asked for bag, got told no as its only given for orders over £100...I asked if I could buy one, was told no. Sort it out! Won't be returning.”

“Very good welcoming and friendly Service. Massive shame about your understanding of surprise gifts to recipients! My 46th Wedding anniversary present was spoilt due to your quest for marketing "did we do well" email of which my read before the event. Very disappointed which should of been a happy moment! Please delete my personal information from your data base.”

“The watch was very good, and good value for the price, but the lady who served me, removed the tags from the watch which meant I am now having trouble registering the Guarantee, so thanks for that. Experienced staff should know not to remove tags, very bad show.”

“This order for a Seko watch was due to be collected from the Chelmley Wood store on November 1st 2023.I rang the store to see if the watch was ready for collection and was told it was not there and would not be delivered to the store until next week. I then contacted customer services to be told the watch was at the store after calling the store again I was told by the gentleman who previously answered the watch was there and he had made a mistake.During collection from the store the watch needed to be adjusted and after adjustment I was about to pay when I discovered there was no presentation box.I was told there was no box due to this watch was not normally stocked at the store.I refused to accept the watch without a box and then a Seiko box was found.The service on this occasion was not up to standard.”

“Over the years I have spent a lot of money in your stores. Platinum etc Yesterday I was unsure but purchased a pair of mini mouse earings for a 6 year old. The sales lady they were purple,I did not think so. Also bought the insurance. The six year old, never touched them, she didnt like themselves she wouldn't wear them they never came out of the box. I took them back this morning. The male pointed out they don't refund on earnings. I couldn't believe no one had pointed this out before I bought them. Yes It does say on the receipt,which he pointed out. Yes he was probably doing his job. Surely a bit of trust and thought might have gone a long way. Why did I purchase insurance as the lady had said if lost one or broken .I they could be returned and exchange ?? Needless to say. I will NOT be purchasing from you ever again. I would like to know WHY you are selling insurance when clearly it can't be used, ls this a matter for trading standards ? What refund I refer to the next question??”

“Initially we were kept waiting without the common courtesy of being told that "we will be right with you". Probably because I looked like a tramp( had my reasons why)and they probably thought I wasn't going to purchase anything. Once I pulled the card out and spent my money, suddenly I was worth waiting on. Wish people would not judge a book by its cover.....You live and learn. This is how I felt, But once engaged the ladies were very accommodating 👍”
