In short, I had an amazing experience all the way around. Customer service was excellent. I probably exchanged 15 emails with Rachel in their customer service department and am very satisfied with how it went. The watch is absolutely amazing. I got the Utah Beach A-11 in Higgens Blue and it is exactly how it is advertised. The combo of the flat blue gray water and beach sand in the chrome case is perfectly balanced. The seconds hand sweep is smooth and well within the limits that are advertised. For personal reasons, and what Utah beach means to my family, I think this watch has changed the game for me. But even without that personal connection I put it on part with some of my other more well-known watch brands. The only critique that I have about Praesidus is that I wish they had more 43mm options because I am already looking at my next purchase from them.

It stopped working after a couple of wears. Nice looking watch. I wore it twice days and it stopped.

We ordered the Normandy watch with sand from Utah beach in it for our friend retiring from the US Army. He absolutely loved it. This watch is so amazing. It isn’t just a watch, it’s a story, a legacy, a piece of our US history. Well made. Quality time piece. Thank you. I can’t wait to see your new watch designs.

After a previous acquisition, I ordered a Classified Crate for Black Friday. First I was pleasantly surprised by the watches received, both being nice AND costing far more than the price paid. Unfortunately one of them was non functioning upon arrival, but return and replacement were quickly managed with Rachel. Overall a great customer service, and the watches are great too.

Trash watches. Total scam marketed on patriotism

Very poor experience with them. They told me they had a watch in stock, then said they actually didn’t and that they were waiting for parts. I only learned of this when I asked when they were shipping over a week after I placed my order. Searching on Reddit surfaced multiple instances of this happening to people.

I have placed 2 orders with Praesidus over that last 2 years and both were met with superb levels of service. My most recent order was for the mystery crate as part of the black friday deals and I was blown away! First, my order arrived, very far away in South Africa, promptly (+- 1 week) and without any issues whatsoever. Second, the watches that were delivered were beyond acceptable both in terms of value (more or less 4 times the value I paid for the mystery crate) and in terms of appropriateness since both were WW2 reproductions and I am an avid WW2 weapon and memorabilia collector as well as a WW2 airsoft re-enactor (101 Airborne). I now have several Praesidus watches and all are beyond expectations in terms of honouring historical accuracy and quality!

Pretty good watch. I like what it stands for the most. I wish I picked a different color combination but that's on me. I also wish there was a bit more 'patina' on the bezel. The watch keeps time, feels good on my wrist, has good weight, and over all looks good.
