Don’t support Nixon anymore
I have been buying Nixon since the early 2000’s. I have a few different watches and have referred other people to buy their watches. I have an elite watch, the original automatic which I bought as a high school graduation present to myself in 2005. I bought the watch for 2 main reasons besides I like the look. 1- it is an automatic movement so doesn’t need a battery and 2- because it has a lifetime warranty. I’ve had the same issue with the watch which is a riveted pin in the clasp would come out over time and the watch will fall off my wrist. The first time I sent it in they just sent me a brand new watch, every time after they just replace the clasp. Shipping is always taken care of by them. Because of this I’ve had no reason to get the watch serviced anywhere else. I always call in to Nixon and they would send me a shipping label and take care of my watch. Recently the customer service reps have been difficult and trying to charge me for shipping. After speaking with the manager who said “I know we use to but it’s changing”. I was told by one of their reps that I would never have to pay shipping on a elite watch. So after arguing she agreed to take care of shipping and said they only took care of it in the past because I escalated the ticket which is a lie and warned me I would have to pay in the future. I thought whatever just fix my watch. I send it in and then get a email stating that they don’t stock those parts any more so I have to pay $125 for a new band. The manager is giving me a bunch of excuses on why I have to pay stating their warranty. Well I have everything original for my watch- receipt, case and warranty booklet. The manager is arguing with me using their “new” warranty. I will no longer back Nixon as they are being unreasonable keeps giving me excuses to have me pay. They sent me a quote with a return shipping charge. I hope they go out of business
