    Pathetic customer service in almost every respect. I purchased a ~$100 watch that stopped working within a few months after purchase. No big deal. I attempted to follow instructions for warranty evaluation/repair. That is where everything went sideways. Took over 6 PAINFUL months to receive a watch back...and they couldn't even replace the watch I purchased with a like-for-like model (even though the watch I had purchased that failed was a new model!). Credit to the courteousness of the two customer service agents who I worked with, but aside from that, they were completely useless. I never ever leave negative reviews for anyone/anything, but when I tell you this experience was exceptional for how awful it was, I hope you can believe me. I want anyone who sees this to be very very cautious before purchasing anything of any value from Timex. The warranty/repair process was nearly impossible and no one follows up or ever has accurate information. If there was an option for zero-stars, that is what I would have chosen.

    Hello, *****. I hope this finds you well. First and foremost, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience this whole experience has caused you. We will definitely respect your decision if you'd like to bring your business elsewhere. I was able to look into this case and based on the conversation you had with the first agent you spoke with, the replacement watch we sent the 1st time was approved by you so that's the watch we mailed in. You also choose the 2nd watch you recently received. We know that waiting for 6 months is unacceptable and we apologize for this. I know this might not change what happened but we recently had a system change hence the repair took longer than expected. We hope the new watch you received will last long for you to enjoy. Thanks, Timex Customer Service
