I purchased this “in stock” watch more than a week and a half ago. It still has not shipped. After reaching out to customer service I was told that it had finally shipped but All that was ever done was creation of a label. The watch still hasn’t left the distributor. It’s starting to feel like a scam.

Hello Tom, Thank you for reaching out, and I deeply apologize for the delay and any frustration this has caused. I understand how disappointing it must be to have been told the watch shipped only to find that it hasn’t left the distributor yet. We take inventory and shipping issues very seriously, and we are actively working to improve these areas. I can assure you that this is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are reviewing our processes to ensure such issues don’t occur again in the future. If you’d like, please contact us directly at [email protected], and we will prioritize resolving this issue and provide you with an accurate update regarding your order. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Best regards, Oscar Chabrat Brand Director & Co-founder Praesidus Watches

I recently purchased the smaller version of the A-11. The ad said it had a Swiss movement, but it did not say it was a quartz mov't in it. I was very disappointed and was expecting a mechanical mov't. I would have never purchased the watch knowing it had a quartz. I was hoping to return the watch for a full refund but was informed that I would only get a voucher for a future watch purchase. I think you need to revamp your return policy and it should include a dollar refund not voucher. I will not recommend your product nor will I purchase another watch from you. Last year I did purchase the larger version of the A-11 with a mechanical mov't, and I am very happy with that watch. Harold Lewis

Hey Harold, First off - I'm sorry for how you feel about our brand. I must point out that we have sent an email asking if you wanted to return your watch on the 2nd of August and you never replied to our email. I feel it is quite unfair to leave us such a negative review as we are still waiting for you to answer us. Concerning the issue about the movement, we clearly state on our website while you are purchasing the movement type (Quartz) and movement name (Ronda 763). I don't see how there is much more that we can do on our side. I hope that in light of all this you can reconsider your review. Best regards, Oscar, Brand Director

I had high hopes for this watch but there were problems. I ordered the Tom rice edition with sapphire Crystal and to this day I am not sure what watch I received. First off when I got my watch it came in a “Origin” box. The origin is a $129 watch. The Tom rice with sapphire is a $300 watch. Secondly the band on the watch was also a origin leather band not the one depicted on the Tom rice watch. Lastly the case back was not attached to the watch but loose in the box. It also was not inscribed with the Tom rice inscription. I would never buy another watch from this company. God knows what you will get. I did complain and they did send me the correct watch band, but I still believe I have the incorrect watch.

Hey Lawrence, First off thank you for the honest review - it is this type of feedback that pushed us to do better by our customers. We've indeed had an issue on a few products regarding the packaging. There was a mix up during final assembly and the "Origin" box was used on Tom Rice watches. What we've offered to others is to go get their watch crystal tested at their local watchmaker if they have a doubt about the glass type that we shipped out. We'll be covering all associated costs. I can get my customer service team to contact you to arrange this. We can also offer a return and exchange since it does seem that you've received a product that is not up to the standard we expect to deliver. I'm available if ever you need more information or help from us. I apologize for the poor performance on our part. Oscar, Praesidus Brand Director

It's a great watch, but I would have preferred a bit more technical documentation - Movement details (number of jewels for example, water resistance, etc.). Granted, I'm a watch geek, but still... But, all in all, a nice piece!

I haven't received my watch or any Shipping information what so ever. I talked to a guy named Armie that said he'd keep me informed. He hasn't. I'm very disappointed. I have yet to receive my $300 watch.

Hey Troy, I'd like to apologize for the disappointment that you've had with us and for the slow shipping that you experienced. I see that you've received your watch since you posted your review and hope that it is up to your expectations. We've also tried to update you about your shipping progress but we never received a response from you. We're available 24/7 if you have any further issues with our service or products! Thanks for the trust, Jim
