AUTHENTICITY & WARRANTY
IWJ Designs is an official South African online retailer of all of the brands featured on our site. Every IWJ Designs timepiece is purchased from a registered watch distributor and authorised authentic (you won’t find any ‘grey’ models here), and carries a full South African warranty.
Each IWJ Designs warranty is generated by the respective local supplier and will therefore differ from one brand to the next. As an online retailer, we do not handle repairs (for example, assessing faults or replacing batteries).
Contact details for authorised watch service centres within South Africa are available – Support and Spares
In order for repairs to be considered to be under warranty, proof of purchase or the actual warranty card is required. A warranty is no longer valid if it is obvious that the watch has been tampered with, or repaired at a non-certified repair centre.
Support and Spares
Please note : we do not offer product spares such as straps or batteries on our online store. If you are having problems with a watch which you have purchased from IWJ Designs, please feel free to give us a call on 011 79 44873 and we will assist you as soon as possible. Please remember to quote your IWJ Designs order or invoice number so that we can best assist you ( We do not support products which have not been purchased through ourselves or which have been purchased abroad ). IWJ Designs is an authorised watch retailer and not the official South Africa distributor of a brand we offer … we therefore do not know the locations of all the services centres in South Africa. All servicing of our products are serviced either by the South African brand distributor or appointed services centres.

METAL WATCH BRACELET ADJUSTMENT
It’s important that your watch fits your wrist comfortably and looks great at the same time. Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit. This is generally a very simple procedure. We can do this for you – please read our instructions below:
Specify your wrist measurement and we will adjust it before being sent
When purchasing a watch which has a metal bracelet with adjustable links, we will gladly adjust the watch bracelet to fit your wrist before sending the watch to you – free of charge*.
Simply type your wrist measurement (in centimeters) into the Notes section of the checkout and we will ensure the watch bracelet is adjusted accordingly before being sent. We will also include all the surplus links with the watch.
You can measure your wrist with a piece of string which you can measure against a ruler. You should allow about half a centimeter of slack to prevent it being too tight on arrival.
In the event of you needing an extra long wrist measurement which requires an extension to the original watch, we must obtain extra links from the manufacturer, and in this event we will contact you to inform you of any possible delays or applicable charges.
Watches with bracelets adjusted by us are eligible under our refund policy.
Please note that once the bracelet has been adjusted by a 3rd party, the watch is no longer eligible for our refund policy. Be sure that the watch is to your liking before getting it adjusted by a 3rd party.
It is not always possible to adjust a watch bracelet to the perfect fit you require with a wrist measurement. Although almost in every case the measurement will be correct, in some cases it may be necessary to have the watch further adjusted at a local jeweller or watchmaker. This is an additional service, therefore we cannot provide any compensation for consequential losses for a) failure to adjust the bracelet, or b) inaccuracies in the adjustment.
If you are purchasing a watch with a non-adjustable bracelet (mostly gold watches) then the watch must go to the manufacturer’s service department for the adjustment. This is a straight forward process which usually takes one week.
Various tools exist on the market which allow you to perform a bracelet adjustment yourself. Generally, we do not recommend this procedure. Watches which have been adjusted using improper tools or methods will not be eligible under our refund policy.
*Adjustment service is free, but additional links may incur a charge. If links need to be ordered we will fit them as soon as they arrive at our warehouse, normally within 5-14 working days. Alternatively we can send the watch to you and the links when they arrive.
