Verified ReviewerPoor customer service; shipping not applied or misleading
Update again. Watchismo, now trading as watches.com, has stopped replying to my emails.
The order is now overdue by more than three weeks and according to the International Shipping Service has not even entered the country.
Watchismo replied to my PayPal dispute, by providing the same incorrect shipping details they previously provided me.
I will never ever use this horrible *** company ever again, under any circumstances.
further update. After the mail I got from them when I lodged a PayPal dispute - described in the previous update - I have received no further communication from them.
I have mailed twice to find out where my order is and heard nothing. it's now 19 days since I paid them for express, tracked delivery (2-3 business days).
appalling service. no matter how this turns out, I will never use them again.
To date, I have only got any reply from them, when I disputed the payment via Paypal. Apparently, that gets you customer service.
After billing for service I never got, shipping I never got and with an order still missing, I got this email:
"Thank you for shopping a Watches.com! We sincerely apologize your order shipped First Class. If you could please close the PayPal dispute we would be happy to issue you a full refund for your shipping fees paid due to the oversight."
I replied saying that that wasn't good enough, nor was it what I required. I required that the location of the order I have already paid for be established, before any redress was undertaken.
I got this mail:
"Unfortunately, it shipped with very limited tracking capabilities. I will speak to the owner to see what resolution we can come up with for the oversight and I will be sure to get back to you ASAP."
We'll have to see if they ever come back. I hope so, since I'm out everything on this transaction. The only option available to me is to cancel payment, having wasted weeks, and with none of the gifts I thought I was buying.
Essentially, I just bought a sour taste in my mouth, and nothing else. Moral of this story?
You will only get customer service from this company on the day you threaten to withdraw payment. If you're going to deal with them, do so only via PayPal.
I am still struggling, well after the order was shipped, to find out where it is. They do not respond to emails, to messages sent via their own account system, to messages sent via their contact forms, or via any other method.
Further, their shipping practice is extremely suspect. I ordered from outside the US, paid the premium for the maximum shipping costs to ensure speedy delivery and detailed tracking (as per their shipping options), and subsequently was informed by the Global Postal Tracking Service that they shipped via the cheapest method, with no guaranteed tracking, no prioritization and with no control.
One of the items in the order was a gift, and the date has passed. They have still not responded to any of the multiple messages sent to them, and still not addressed my questions about shipping, tracking and the current location of the parcel.
It's the 5th of July today, and I've been chasing details about this order since it was placed, on the 22nd of June.
Genuinely terrible company. What a pity.

Never Buy from Watchismo/Watches website
I purchased watch worth of C$ 530, they said it is delivered successfully but I never received it. So I filed complain about this but customer service was pathetic and rude and it seems they didn't care about my complain either.
I also checked with my local post office and they advise me to have sender contact them to generate service ticket but watchismo refused to do. So I paid C$530 for nothing. Never order anything from this website, you have to be super lucky to receive what you ordered otherwise you are on your own.
Fraud company. I will also send direct complain to watch company (Xeric).

Terrible Customer Service (Don't buy from Wachismo)
My 1st clue was the fact that I didn't receive confirmation on my purchase, so I went back on and did it once more. Still didn't receive confirmation from them, but did receive an email two day later saying they received two orders from me and processed one and that the watch was being shipped. Go the watch and had it for less than two weeks and it started beeping loudly and constantly and we can't turn it off. I called, emailed multiple times and tried to follow their on line process to return. No one has emailed or returned my calls and it is going on a week (time of this email). After reading these similar reviews I am going through my credit card company to dispute the charge and get my money back.
I don't even want to deal with them on any return do to their total lack of customer service, and I would suggest that you don't buy from them either.
Hope this helps you make a smarter decision than I did trying to save some money.

Watch Review
Defective received watch : internal mecanism problem for that watch which cost more than 1 200.00 USD.
Return processed for "inspecting" before reship another running one.
But no more feedback after they received it !
Review in Luxury / Jewelry category from Sherwood Park, Alberta
I received the Vestal DEV008 De Novo All Gunmetal watch as expected. Beautiful watch and no problem with the clasp.
Came with plastic protective film on the face of the watch. Only thing was the battery was dead. I love the watch so much that it really wasn't a big deal.
I also read a review where someone indicated their watch battery was dead also so it was not a huge surprise. Would order again through this company.
Xeric Halograph Watch Review
I recently ordered the new Xeric Halograph but after giving
it more thought decided I couldn't afforded it at this time.I called and they cancelled the order no problem! They sent an email confirming this and gave me a 10 percent credit so that when I can afford it I'll still get it at the introductory price. I can't comment on the quality but I have 30 days to decide or Send it back for a refund!
Return
They will not issue a refund but best of all...they won't tell you the status of your return or refund, you have to send them multiple emails and then they don't even bother to tell if they will ship back the product that didn't pass their "return inspection." Not 100% Satisfaction for sure!! They even scratched the watch as not to take it back - we returned it in the original packaging with additional insurance and with the original plastic cover back on the face. It was tried on but it was not what we expected and a store should accept returns!!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watchismo/xeriscope-the-orbiting-mechanical-automatic-watch
This scam watch is going for $350 to $400 on kickstarter right now. Only you can buy the same watch for $80-$90 on ebay and amazon and many other websites and these watches have been on the market for approximately 7-8 years already.
Mitch Greenblatt, Andy Greenblatt, and Terry Allison should be ashamed of themselves for trying to scam people!
Here is a link to ebay showing the same watch for $79.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Constantin-Weisz-Carousel-Watch-/290979****31?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item43bfb9d8bb&nma=true&si=JlOpY0Z%252FvPDUSieuQrPV4aPTM1Y%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p204****.l2557

These guys at watchismo - Terry Allison, Mitch Greenblatt, and Andy Greenblatt are scammers who are trying to rip people off! Avoid this low quality watch.
Xeriscope watch by watchismo mitch greenblatt and andy greenblatt and terry allison on kickstarter
This kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watchismo/xeriscope-the-orbiting-mechanical-automatic-watch is obviously by Terry Allison. It is so similar to the 2RB project. These watches can be gotten for $80-$90 retail on ebay and amazon and have been around for something like 8 years - and these weasels act like they designed them and are charging 500% mark up over retail on ebay and amazon! what a scam! avoid the heartache and this scam on kickstarter.

We feel that it needs to be stated here that Terry Allison has no affiliation with Xeric or Watchismo as we have never heard of this person. We've never worked with, met, nor heard of Terry Allison before. Watchismo and Xeric is wholly owned by Mitch and Andrew Greenblatt and no one else.
As for the discussion on the quality of our Xeriscope watch, the only similarity here is the movement. The functions of this movement (power reserve meter, minute hand and 2nd timezone) must be in the same position due to their placement on the movement itself. We have designed an entirely new watch based upon this movement. It has more attention to finishing, leather quality and overall execution and the XERISCOPE is indeed it's own watch.
In comparison, the Swiss ETA 7750 chronograph movement is used in watches ranging from $1400 to others WELL above $5000. See some examples of the following watches, all using the same ETA 7750 chronograph movement:
Oris - Williams F1 Team Chronograph $1440
TAG Heuer - Formula 1 Chronograph $1695
Breitling - SuperOcean Chrono $3085
Panerai - Luminor Marina $6175
We feel our XERISCOPE design perfects the use of this movement and hope you do too!

You guys are scammers, greedy and dishonest. I'm amazed you are still in business.
You ripped me off several years ago, and sadly it looks like you're still at it. You'll get yours eventually.
Watchismo rips off consumers with slippery business practices,it's documented. Watchismo it's not a reputable company.
Why are you talking about an ETA 7750 movement? That is NOT what is in this watch...
The movement in this watch is a PTS ST1201, which is probably about $15-$30 depending on how many you purchase.
You randomly start talking about $2k-$6k watches and appear to be trying to deceive people into thinking your watch uses the same movement. This comment alone has made me want to shy away from your company and your watches...
I wanted to add on to this previous comment of mine as well:
The movement is the most important detail of any watch. The fact that you, a watch manufacturer, are saying things like, "Yeah, it's a cheap movement, but we used a leather strap and shiny new case and 'unique' dial!" to justify your price is just... sad.
"Cheap" Chinese movements are not necessarily a bad thing by themselves, but stop comparing your watches to multi-thousand dollar Swiss examples.
They didn't though. They used a popular movement as an example where the watches hit several price points...
I figured iwould go ahead and post these 2 examples... i myself just bout a watch with the Sellita sw200 for under $200...
I am buying a Xeriscope next week... yes I could buy the Constatine Weisz... but I really prefer the Xeric's watch over others I've seen. As for them being "ashamed" what for?
I've seen watches with a Ronda 5040d go for close to a grand but I have multiple and I have one I paid right around $150
You're honestly just trying to tear someone down and it's not cool. I don't see you on here offering up an alternative from your company. There's a saying... "don't be a ***"
As for you the owners of Xeric coming from a dude that collects and loves watches but can't buy crazy expensive ones.
Keto doing what you're doing... I've read about, watched your videos seen the demos and have fallen in love with your watches... regardless of what the movement cost... not like I'm going to build a watch for it...
anyway... there's always someone that is unhappy in life... besides...
I'm sure you've sold more watches than people have taken advice from this dude.
