      I have ordered 3 watches from Original Grain. They have all been of excellent quality. The last watch that I ordered for my son was a Christmas gift. So I ordered it in November. The minute hand broke. I contacted Original Grain through email. I did not have my confirmation email from the original order. I did expect that to cause some issue, but this did not give me any problems. ***** was more than helpful in assisting me. I honestly didn't know if the watch was still under warranty. I expected to have to send the watch back. Perhaps at my own cost for shipping. Nonetheless, I just wanted the minute hand fixed because my son really likes these watches. Original Grain sent him a new watch. Not at all what I expected. In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint, they did not want the broken watch to be returned. Customer satisfaction is a high priority for Original Grain. My son has an affinity for these watches. If I purchase another watch of this type, Original Grain is where I will be purchasing from.

      Watch was designed wrong, because you cannot make the micro adjustments needed in order to get the correct fitment on the watch. When I emailed customer service about this they told me "our watches do not support micro adjustments" even though this is my 3rd watch by them and the other ones support micro adjustments. ***** lied to me and tried to make me believe that I'm in the wrong when I'm surely not. After which he told me to "take the watch to a jeweler in order to fix it" that was BY FAR the worst customer service experience that I've ever had. I will not be making anymore purchases from Original Grain, and I suggest anyone who reads this do the same.

      The watch I ordered for husband was beautiful. It was great for the first year. Shortly after the 1 year warranty was up, the emblem on the face came loose and just floats around. This is annoying. Changing the battery was also a challenge. We visited three jewelry/watch shops before finding one that was able to get the watch open and change the battery. The shop is over thirty minutes away. Never had a watch this hard to change the battery.

      I ordered a watch for my husband, and after I completed the order, I got a summary with an additional watch, (which wasn't even an option when looking, just added to my order). Then, an email that said, I had 4 hours to make a change. We'll, they do not offer a phone number to call, and I replied 8 times in emails. No response... Then the next day, I get my order was shipped. I wrote them again, and finally got an email that said, too bad. They had no problem telling me I had 15 days to return the watch. This process of no phone number, adding a watch when not ordering it, and terrible response time, is the reason why their reviews are bad, and let me tell you Original Grain, ***** will catch up to your terrible business practices!!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate the opportunity to resolve this for you.

      Purchased an original grain watch for my husband and only 1.5 years later it has self-destructed. The small piece of metal around the date display fell off in the watch and lodged under the minute hand. I reached out to the company and they offered me $100 off a new one, rather than try to fix or replace the one that we have. Why would I want to buy another one for $300 that is probably going to fall apart as well? Never again.

      *****************!Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the issue with your watch and understand how disappointing this must be for you and your husband.At Original Grain, we strive to ensure our customers are satisfied with their purchases, and it's disheartening to learn when we've fallen short.

This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to improve our customer support and product longevity. If you prefer to wait for this service to become available, we completely understand and are here to assist you further once it launches.Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, as it helps us identify areas for improvement.
