From October 1, 2016 HWG offers a free one-year extended warranty on watches. This is a special and unique free service which extends the manufacturer’s warranty for one year.
The start date of the (manufacturer’s/factory) warranty is the date on your warranty card or the date on your invoice.
For the (factory) warranty terms and duration of the guarantee, please see the warranty card / booklet with your watch. In addition, the following conditions apply:
- The extended warranty only applies to watches purchased at HWG from October 1, 2016 and starts from one day after the manufacturer's warranty ends.
- The manufacturer's warranty is valid world wide with all official dealers.The extended warranty is valid only at Mastersintime.com.
- Watch brands of which HWG is official dealer, but not purchased at HWG, can be offered at HWG for repair under warranty within the manufacturer’s warranty period. For these watches the free one year extra warranty by HWG after expiration of the factory warranty period, isn’t valid.
- The additional warranty does not cover watch straps and other accessories.
- Use of original brand spare parts for repairs under the HWG additional warranty is subject to availability at the manufacturer.
- In the event of cessation of business by the manufacturer, for example through bankruptcy, HWG may use non-proprietary parts.
* Does not apply for Smartwatches
Most of the time when a quartz watch stops running, it is caused by an empty battery. Please feel free to have the battery exchanged by a good trusted jeweller or official dealer of the brand. If the watch still doesn’t work after the battery change, the watch has to be offered at an official dealer for warranty.
Mechanical watches may show a deviation in timekeeping. The limit for this deviation is +6 minutes and -4 minutes per 24 hours. As this differs by brand, you can always find this allowed deviation in the manual provided. Does your watch clearly show a greater deviation? In that case, please contact an authorized dealer of your brand with your valid warranty.
If you would like to claim the warranty on your watch, please contact our Customer Service department. Please include the valid, stamped warranty card and/or purchase invoice with your warrant claim. Warranty can be claimed at most brand authorized jewellers & sales points. Some brands will demand you go to the original sales point with your warranty claim. Read the warranty card/booklet for further information.
If you wish to claim the extended HWG warranty, we accept the stamped warranty card, or the HWG invoice as proof of warranty.
