All WatchNation's watches are supplied directly from the watch brand and are 100% authentic, with the full 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

You can find us located on the brands' websites, and they would verify this if you were to contact them. We have and continue to work with brands to banish grey market sellers from the market.

What are grey market sellers?

Grey market sellers are unauthorised watch dealers who acquire their products via illegitimate channels. The watches often feature a one year seller warranty rather than an EU manufacturers warranty.

So what does this mean?

In a nutshell, there are 3 warranties you can receive from these sellers:

1. a stamped manufacturer's warranty;
2. an unstamped manufacturer's warranty
3. a one year seller's warranty

At a glance this doesn't look so bad, but it is.

1. A stamped warranty: if the seller is grey market, the manufacturer does not have an obligation or incentive to repair the watch as you didn’t purchase the watch from them
2. An unstamped warranty: these are invalid as they don't prove you purchased the watch from an authorised retailer
3. Seller warranty: The watch will never be sent back to the manufacturer for repair, but instead be repaired by an unaccredited person with the lowest quality parts. If the seller then went out of business, you would not be covered at all. When a seller is not authorised to sell the product (you can find this out by searching the manufacturer’s website), you are likely purchasing inauthentic, fake or stolen goods.
