Please inspect all items carefully upon arrival, prior to removing any protective wrapping. Feel free to test functions, and inspect under high magnification. If you are unhappy for any reason, please contact us immediately, before altering any item's condition and wearing it. Goods not in as-delivered condition cannot be returned.
Please inspect all items carefully upon arrival, prior to removing any protective wrapping. Feel free to test functions, and inspect under high magnification.
If you are dissatisfied with any item, for any reason, do not alter its condition by unwrapping or wearing it. NTH gives you up to 6 weeks to return watches for a full refund, net of shipping costs, and guarantees the movement for 6 years from the date of production.
Please contact us immediately to arrange for its return. Goods not in as-delivered condition cannot be returned.
All goods returned for refund or replacement must be in as-delivered condition, with all original packaging and protective covers in place, regardless of the reason for the return. According to our 6 & 6 Guarantee, we will accept returns of goods in as-delivered condition for up to 6 weeks from the date of delivery.
Any items not returned in as-delivered condition will be subject to a minimum restocking fee of 20% or more, depending on condition.
While we do not typically charge a restocking fee on most returns, we reserve the right to charge a restocking fee up to 20% in special circumstances, including but not limited to return of goods not in as-delivered condition, or returns pursuant to a credit card charge-back or PayPal dispute.
If a customer finds some imperfection which is outside our quality standards, the item may be returned for replacement, or refund, at the customer's preference, so long as it is still in as-delivered condition.
If a customer's complaint is regarding something within our quality standards, the item may only be returned for a refund, not replacement, so long as it is still in as-delivered condition.
Once an item is no longer in as-delivered condition, it may not be returned for either refund or replacement. Only mechanical malfunctions will be addressed under warranty, not quality issues.
Do not return any item without first contacting us to arrange for a return authorization. All returns must be done according to our guidelines, using the address we provide, NOT the address of origin on the order shipment.
Returns for refund or replacement must be inspected prior to a refund being issued or replacement shipped, and may not be sent directly back to our order fulfillment center. Returning items to our fulfillment center will delay a refund, and incur additional fees, which will be netted from refunds.
Customers who ignore or fail to follow return shipping instructions assume all risk for lost shipments.
Refunds will be net of our actual shipping costs, even if shipping was not charged on the order. We do not pay return shipping costs on items returned for refund.
Refunds will also be net of any non-recoverable merchant processing and/or financing fees. Please understand that we can only refund that portion of a transaction which we actually received after fees collected by payments processors. It may be that your refund will be net of fees which Klarna, PayPal, and credit card processors will not reimburse once they are collected on a transaction, even if the transaction is later reversed in order to issue a refund. Please see below for more information.
As of October 11, 2019, refunds through PayPal will be NET of PayPal's transaction fees, which start at 2.94% per transaction in the USA, and 4.44% outside the USA. Please understand that this is PayPal's decision to keep customers' money, not ours.
Please inspect all goods carefully on arrival. Altering their condition by removing protective wrapping will be considered the customer's unconditional acceptance of their quality.
Please contact us immediately if you are unsatisfied with any item, for any reason, BEFORE altering its condition. We may ask for pictures or video showing the issue you have found.
Mechanical malfunctions due to parts failure or incorrect assembly are covered under our 2-year warranty. The warranty does NOT cover quality concerns customers may find on delivery or later. Quality issues are covered under our returns policy, only.
If a customer finds any issue which is not within our QC standards, and the item is still in as-delivered condition, we will arrange for a return for replacement, at our cost, including shipping.
Customers may also request a return for refund, rather than replacement, in accordance with our returns policy. Returns for refund will be at the customer's shipping expense.
If the item is no longer in as-delivered condition, but there is a mechanical malfunction due to parts failure or incorrect assembly, we will arrange to have it repaired under warranty, within 2 years of delivery.
All other quality issues must be addressed on delivery, prior to an item's condition being altered. We do not accept quality complaints as warranty claims.
Determination of what is or is not a defect is at our sole discretion.
If we determine a customer's complaint is an acceptable variation within our quality control standards, and not defective, the item cannot be returned for replacement or repair, but may be returned for refund if the item remains in as-delivered condition, within 30 days of delivery.
The parts for our watches are made by machines, then finished and assembled by hand. Due to manufacturing tolerances, necessary clearances between parts, and human fallibility, we cannot guarantee 100% perfection or uniformity without dramatically raising our prices.
In order to deliver a quality product to our customers, each component goes through multiple rounds of qualitycontrol prior to assembly, and each assembled watch goes through multiple rounds of quality controlafter assembly. During our QC, we separate defective components and mis-assembled pieces from those we consider acceptable variations.
Acceptable variations include unavoidable variations stemming from manufacturing tolerances, necessary clearances, and human fallibility.
Some are "judgment calls" we make when there's no objective measure or industry standard we can use. These may include but are not limited to alignment of fitted parts, evenness of finishing, small tool marks, and color differences in coated or lumed surfaces.
As a rule of thumb, we ask ourselves if we're comfortable having the watch used as an example of the quality we deliver, knowing it will affect the reputation of our business. If we're not comfortable with it, it fails QC.
Determination of what is or is not within our quality standards is at our sole discretion as a company. Customers have 30 days from the date of delivery to inspect and return any goods which do not meet their expectations, so long as returned goods are still in as-delivered condition.
We do NOT address customers' quality concerns under our warranty. The warranty strictly covers mechanical malfunctions arising from parts failure or incorrect assembly. All quality concerns must be addressed prior to an item's condition being altered.
Little quirks of operation or assembly are common with many watches, especially mechanical watches, and watches which employ compressible parts for water resistance.
Some crowns may require more deliberate handling to operate correctly or as expected, due to their fitment with other parts and assembly. The internal parts they're connected to may need some break-in use for lubrication to be evenly distributed.
Additionally, our watches are shipped within leather travel cases inside protective cardboard sleeves, which may show signs of shipping and handling.
Any concerns about the function of any components should be brought to our attention as soon as they are noticed, preferably on delivery, and prior to having goods inspected by third parties, which may void the warranty.
After six years in business, the most persistent problem we've faced is customers not understanding our returns policy, not agreeing with it, or perhaps never reading it.
Some folks seem to think it's not customer-friendly.
This is a small business. We produce new models in very limited numbers. If a watch is returned, but not defective, it goes back into inventory for sale. Every watch we produce must be sold to a customer, none of whom will accept it if they think it's been worn.
Some QC failures or returns for defect will be sold at a discount or added to our in-house collection, but most QC failures and returns for defect are sent for repair/re-assembly, after which they will be added back into inventory.
These are the reasons why we require all returns for refund or replacement to be in as-delivered condition, and cannot accept returns of items not in as-delivered condition.
We don't own the factory, which is overseas, and have very few employees. We have to be very efficient in our operations, particularly in how we handle repairs and re-assembly. Sometimes repair/re-assembly isn't handled until months later, when time allows, and often when we're running low on inventory for sale.
This is why we like to immediately replace any defects which slip through QC and make it to our customers. We want to be sure we have a replacement available to send to our customer, and that we are managing repairs/re-assemblies as a group, at the right time, so we can stay efficient, rather than managing one repair at a time, with our customer waiting.
This is also why we ask customers to carefully inspect their watch before altering its condition by unwrapping and wearing it.
If you find something wrong with your watch, please do not try to ignore it, thinking you might "get over it". We want to address all problems sooner rather than later. If you bring it to our attention later, we might not agree what you've found is a defect, or we may not be able to conduct a quick return for replacement or repair.
We will do everything we can do, within reason, to ensure our customers' satisfaction.
All orders placed through our site ship from the USA. You may also order from one of our authorized retailers, some of whom ship from their locations outside the USA.
Non-US customers, especially in the UK and EU - please understand that prices on our site do NOT include the VAT. You may receive a customs brokerage and VAT bill from your local courier.
Orders of in-stock items will typically ship within 1 or 2 business days. Order shipping may take longer during holidays and at other times, such as during pandemics.
You will receive email and text notifications with tracking links within 24 hours of your order being shipped.
If you have not received a shipping notification for in-stock items within 3 business days, please contact us to inquire about your order status. Please allow added time during seasonal and US Federal holidays, or during periods when shipments may be otherwise delayed.
Most shipments within the USA are shipped with the US Postal Service (USPS) at checkout. Most shipments outside the USA will be shipped with FedEx. Available shipping options will be shown at checkout.
Orders over USD $1000 will ship free. Otherwise, shipping charges will be calculated at checkout, based on order size, value, and items included.
Orders within the USA (including any overseas territories or APOs served by the US postal service) should typically be delivered within 2-5 business days of being shipped, possibly longer due to seasonal and government holidays, and in some cases may be delivered before tracking info is available, depending on proximity to where we ship from, and seasonal shipping volume.
Orders shipped outside the USA may take longer, depending on the service chosen at checkout, and customs clearance in the destination country, which has been taking longer recently due to increased terrorism.
Please allow extra time for order shipping during holidays and at other times when delays may occur.
It is not uncommon for shipment to appear delayed, due tracking system errors, or for tracking to stop entirely.
We appreciate our customers' patience with delayed shipments and tracking interruptions. We may ask for a reasonable waiting period before considering a a shipment missing or lost, based on location and time of year.
If your order does not arrive within one week of its expected date, please contact us.
We require customers to make all address changes to their accounts, in order to avoid the possibility we'd make a mistake while editing an order, but updating your address in your customer account does NOT automatically update the address for your order, which we must edit manually.
If your delivery address changes, first please log into your customer account to update your shipping address, then contact us with the address you want to use for delivery, so we can edit your order with the correct address.
Please be sure to also update PayPal and your credit card issuing bank with your new address, as we will only ship to verified addresses. To verify your address with PayPal, add a credit card to your PayPal account.
We can also hold orders while you are traveling, but we cannot do scheduled release dates, nor can we guarantee delivery to temporary addresses within narrow windows of time, as we cannot be certain of our exact shipping date or shipping times. If you want us to hold your order, please let us know as early as possible, then contact us again when you want your order released.
We cannot falsify customs documents by marking orders as gifts. However, because some of our sales have been pre-orders, we provide our order fulfillment partners with the lowest pre-order price for all items, which will be the declared value on customs forms.
Our understanding from our non-US customers is that our shipping with the US Postal Service minimizes the likelihood of taxes being charged on delivery.
We'll ship just about everywhere, within reason. We reserve the right not to ship to any country known for high rates of online and credit fraud, terrorism, corruption, human rights violations, and cannot ship to any country with which the US government prohibits trade. Orders we receive but cannot ship will be refunded.
All packages are shipped with tracking and insurance, but not for full retail value. As such, we reserve the right to refund rather than replace an order, and will typically require a reasonable waiting period before considering a shipment as lost in transit, based on location and time of year. We do not require a signature for delivery.
Filing and recovering on a lost package claim can take some time, and may require a digitally-signed affidavit from customers, stating that a package was not received, before we can issue a refund. Lost package claims may be investigated by carriers, and fraudulent claims may be prosecuted.
Security and accessibility of a delivery location are customers' responsibility.
If you are concerned about the security of your delivery address, if your mailbox cannot accommodate larger packages, or if your mailbox isn't readily accessible due to security measures in place, please consider using an alternate delivery location for your shipping address, such as your place of work, a family member or neighbor, or a rental mailbox.
We cannot and do not take responsibility for packages which are stolen after being marked as delivered, or packages lost by couriers after attempting to make delivery, but were unable to gain access to your delivery location. Please be sure to consider this when providing your shipping address.
If you believe your order has been lost or stolen after delivery was made or attempted, please contact your local post office with your tracking number, and inquire with neighbors.
If your order was never delivered, please contact us so we can initiate a lost package claim.
If your watch comes with a bracelet, there are removable links in it, and the clasp has either a ratcheting expansion feature, or some micro-adjustment holes to provide a comfortable fit.
Removable Links with Solid Screw Bars
The removable links in our bracelets are held in place with solid screw-bars.
Be sure to use the correct size screw driver (usually 1.2mm wide head) when removing the screw-bars, and don't force them. Using a screwdriver which is too small for the screw heads can strip them, making removal impossible, and requiring them to be drilled out. Stripped screw heads are not covered under warranty.
We recommend using a small bit of mild thread locker or clear nail polish on the screw-bar threads, to prevent the screw-bars from coming loose. Lost screw-bars and resultant damage to a watch are not covered under warranty.
Clasp Adjustments
If your clasp does not have an ratcheting expansion function, there will be additional end-link mounting holes on the sides of the clasp. These micro-adjustment holes enable smaller sizing adjustments than the removable links. The end-links can be moved to the other holes by compressing the ends of the spring-bars holding the end-links in place.
If All Else Fails
If you require assistance sizing your bracelet, most jewelers and any watchmaker can size a bracelet quickly and inexpensively.
If you are having difficulty re-attaching your bracelet to your watch, try switching the end-links or spring-bars around, and fitting them to the lugs on the opposite side of the case. Sometimes the holes in one end-link line up better with the lugs on one side of the case, or a spring-bar may have a slight bend in it.
Make sure the inner surfaces of the case, lugs, and bracelet end-link are all clean. You may also try using a small bit of lubricant to help the tips of the spring-bars seat correctly within the lug holes.
Automatic movements wind themselves, using a weighted rotor which turns as you swing your arm. If you are physically active while wearing your watch, automatic winding can keep it near full power, and performing at its best. Unlike hand-wind-only movements, a clutch mechanism in the movement prevents automatic movements from being over-wound.
Most automatic movements are bi-directional winders, wound by the rotor turning in either direction. The Miyota 9015 is uni-directional winding, with the winding rotation being clockwise, looking at the watch from the back:
You may sometimes hear or feel the rotor quickly spinning in the opposite direction.
Most automatics will take more than 1000 full rotations of the rotor to reach full power, so it may be necessary to also hand-wind your watch to keep it performing at its best.
Most movements can also be hand-wound using the crown, adding power to keep a watch running, and maintain accuracy, which will typically decrease as a watch winds down.
Hand-winding can be more efficient than automatic winding. The rotor will need over 1000 rotations for the watch to reach full power, but the crown will need much fewer rotations:
When hand-winding, do not rotate the crown back and forth, in both directions. Wind the mainspring by turning the crown clockwise only. You may begin to hear a clicking sound when the mainspring is fully wound.
The crown can be either push-pull, or screw-down. Screw-down crowns are spring-loaded, and will pop out when the threads inside the crown clear the threads on the case tube:
Always make sure your crown is all the way in while storing or wearing your watch. If it's the screw-down type, make sure it's screwed down.
Do not force your crown in or out, and be careful while screwing it down, so it does not become cross-threaded or over-tightened.
Some crowns may need a bit of lateral pressure while being pushed in, to engage different positions.
Crown positions for winding, date setting, and time setting:
Most modern automatic movements are "hacking", which means the seconds hand will stop when the crown is in time-setting position.
Crowns on some newer watches may require a bit of use or break-in for lubricants inside the movement to be evenly distributed. While changing positions, you may find the crown slipping into a neutral, "free-wheeling" position where it does nothing. This should self-correct in a short amount of time, through continued use. Please contact us or one of our authorized distributors if it does not.
If your watch displays the date, it should automatically change around midnight.
But if your watch has stopped, manually setting the date between 9pm and 4am can damage the date-change mechanism. If your watch has stopped, the time displayed could be am, or pm.
To avoid causing damage, first advance the hours until you see the date change near 12am, then set the watch to the correct time, then set the watch to the correct date, so long as the current time is not between 9pm and 4am.
The date will usually be advanced by turning the crown clockwise, however, with the Seiko NH35, the date is advanced by turning the crown counter-clockwise.
The movement in your watch should run reliably and accurately for years, but may require periodic maintenance.
Swiss mechanical movements should receive routine servicing or replacement no less frequently than 7 years. Japanese mechanical movements may need some lubrication to the rotor if it becomes loud, but should otherwise not need maintenance for at least a decade.
In the US, certified watchmakers can be found through the AWCI or NAWCC.For our customers in the UK, we recommend our authorized repair center, Timewise Services.
Mechanical movements are not typically as accurate as battery-powered quartz movements. Their accuracy can be affected by position, the power in the mainspring, and environmental conditions such as temperature.
Prior to shipping, all of our watches are adjusted to make sure they are running within the movement manufacturers' stated specs for accuracy. If you find your watch is not running accurately on delivery, please contact us.
The accuracy specs provided by the movement manufacturers are the average daily rates of the multiple positions in which they're tested, and when tested at full power:
You may experience better or worse performance on the wrist, or over a 24 hour period, based on activity, ambient temperature, and power in the mainspring.
Your watch will become less accurate as it winds down, and may not run within spec at less than 1/2 of its full power reserve.
If a watch is dropped or suffered a hard impact, it may affect the balance, causing it to run fast or slow, and require adjustment by a watchmaker, which is not covered under warranty.
If you find your watch is running extremely fast, gaining minutes per day, its movement has most likely become magnetized. Magnetic fields are very common, and your watch can become magnetized easily due to proximity to computers, speakers, and mobile devices. Your watch may even have been magnetized during shipping.
Demagnetization is something which can be done quickly and inexpensively by any watchmaker, or using inexpensive degausser (demagnetization) machines available online, or by setting your watch on the anti-theft device pads located at many stores' checkouts. Demagnetization of your watch is not covered under warranty.
Be sure to check our authorized distributors' websites. They may have more of something which is sold out on our website.
We may or may not make more of a sold out model. If we do, we'll announce it in our email newsletter (subscribe at bottom right of page), and on social media.
To get all the latest news and product announcements, be sure to subscribe to our email newsletter, or create a customer account, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
We don't do many sales. If we do have a sale or a pre-order, we'll announce it in our email newsletter and on social media when it starts.
All customers are automatically enrolled in our loyalty rewards program, which generates coupon codes based on how much our customers have spent in our store.
Orders over USD $1000 will automatically ship free.
These are the only discounts available - loyalty rewards, and free shipping on large orders.
Except for some limited editions, NTH watches do not have any identifying numbers, and we do not let customers request specific numbers.
We are unable to accommodate special requests for changes to products.
We don't have printed catalogs. Our website is our catalog. You're on it. No mailing or waiting necessary. You're welcome.
Please see our Authorized Distributors for a current list of our distributors. If there's a distributor you like to buy from, please pester them to contact us about carrying our watches.
We stock a limited supply of some parts, such as bezel inserts, crystals, and crowns.
We do NOT stock all parts, and we do NOT supply parts for modifying watches. We do NOT sell dials, handsets, or movements.
We do not sell case parts, like case backs, or bezel assemblies, or individual bracelet links or bracelet screws.
Replacement bezel inserts can be purchased, and are available in the accessories section of our website.
Yes. We have dozens of awesome, unbiased, objective reviews from professional reviewers, and hundreds of reviews from happy customers.
Unbiased reviews - we do not supply bloggers or "social media influencers" with free products or discounts in exchange for reviews, photos, video, or positive mentions on social media.
If you are a blogger or member of the press and would like a sample for review and return, please contact us. Please understand that we will assess review requests by considering the size of a blog's audience and give preference to bloggers we've worked with in the past.
We do not "collaborate" with any "social media influencers", where such collaborations involve an exchange of product or compensation for social media "exposure". Inquiries from social media influencers will be ignored. Any rude messages we receive may be posted to our social media accounts, for our friends and fans to ridicule.
We make watches the same way all other brands make them. We primarily use Swiss or Japanese movements and other components made globally, and outsource final assembly.
We do not share our vendors' names, or divulge information which is proprietary to our business.
We can make some edits to an order after it is placed, so long as the order hasn't yet shipped, to include address changes and changes to items within the order.
Unfortunately, we don't have any way to apply a coupon code to an order after checkout is completed. We do not issue partial refunds for unused coupon codes.
Whenever a customer has a problem checking out, 99.99% of the time it is due to entering the billing address or some other information differently than how it is in the issuing bank’s records. It may also be that the address verification used in our secure checkout is not supported by the card issuing bank.
If you have trouble at checkout, please be sure to check your credit card billing statement and key-in your address exactly as it is on your statement, or if all else fails, use PayPal.
It’s not uncommon to see ‘phantom’ charges when a card is declined - a record of attempted charges which didn’t go through, but for whatever reason, they appear to have been completed on bank/card records for a few days before the issuing bank clears them from the record.
We recommend calling the card issuer. Sometimes customer support can have phantom charges cleared sooner. We have never charged anyone for a transaction which was not completed, or charged anyone more than once for a single transaction. Please understand there is nothing we or our merchant processor can do to assist in that situation.
Unless otherwise noted, watches are warrantied against mechanical malfunction arising from parts failure or assembly errors for two years from the date of delivery. Additionally, according to our 6 & 6 Guarantee, the movement is guaranteed to work for 6 years from the watch's date of production. See below for a full description of warranty terms.
We do not include dated warranty cards with our watches, as they may be lost, and we do not have any warranty transfer system. You do not need to tell us when you buy or sell a watch we made.
We rely on our order shipping records to determine warranty expiration dates. All we need to initiate a warranty claim is the original purchaser's name or order number.
If you purchased your watch through another website or one of our authorized distributors, and require warranty support, please contact the seller first.
Many of our distributors have their own service departments. Watches sold through Amazon are usually warrantied by Asurion. Watches sold through eBay are usually covered by Assurant.
In the event a watch was purchased through a distributor who does not have their own service department, we will likely have made arrangements to provide warranty support, but with that support coordinated through the distributor on their customer's behalf.
If you are outside the USA, we reserve the right to reimburse you for documented costs of repairs done locally, in order to avoid the costs and risks of international shipping.
We may ask you to get a repair estimate before a repair is done, and may decide to have you return the watch to us in the USA for repair. We ask you to mark customs forms as a return for repair under warranty, and we will do the same on the return shipment.
Your watch should not require service or repair within the warranty period. Any disassembly of your watch may void the warranty. Please do not attempt to repair your watch without first contacting us. Case parts damaged in the process of attempting a repair cannot be replaced.
If your watch requires repair after the warranty expires, please contact a local watchmaker. In the US, certified watchmakers can be found through the AWCI or NAWCC.
For our customers in the UK, we recommend our authorized repair center, Timewise Services.
The warranty is to protect the customer against hidden problems and mechanical malfunction due to parts failure or incorrect assembly. It covers all mechanical malfunctions of the movement and operating problems stemming from incorrect assembly.
The warranty does not cover quality issues raised by customers after an item's condition has been altered. Quality concerns are addressed by our returns policy.
The warranty does not cover "wear and tear" damage caused by normal use, abuse or neglect, including but not limited to exterior marks on case or bezel, shattered crystals, worn out straps, broken buckles, broken spring bars, and loose bracelet screws.
The warranty does not cover incidental damage stemming from partial disassembly, to include but not limited to removing the bezel or attempting to modify your watch. It does not cover unauthorized repairs by third parties.
The warranty does not cover improper use, including but not limited to damage to the date-change mechanism caused by improper date-setting, improper method for sizing the bracelet, or crown damage caused by cross-threading or over-tightening a screw-down crown.
The warranty does not cover routine service or maintenance which may be required within the warranty period, including but not limited to demagnetization, or adjustments for accuracy resulting from the watch suffering an impact which affects the balance.
Please be sure to review our site's Operation & Maintenance page for more information related to proper use, operation and maintenance.
The warranty does not cover acceptable variations or microscopic imperfections which fall within our QC standards due to manufacturing tolerances, limits of manufacturing, necessary clearances, and human fallibility. Please see our returns policy for more information.
If your watch requires repair due to mechanical malfunction within 2 years of delivery, please contact us. We reserve the right to require photographs or video demonstrating the malfunction or error, and the right to do troubleshooting prior to arranging for repair. Most repairs can be turned around fairly quickly.
NTH gives you up to 6 weeks to return watches for a full refund, net of shipping costs, and guarantees the movement for 6 years from the watch's date of production. Simple, right?
Watches returned for refund must still be in as-delivered condition, meaning unworn, with all the protective wrappers intact and in place, in the original packaging, with all included items shipped with the watch. Refunds will be net of shipping costs, and return shipping will be at the customer's expense.
Watches with Swiss movements must be serviced at least once in the first 5 years of ownership in order to be covered by the 6 year movement guarantee. Proof of servicing is required. The guarantee will be null and void in cases of obvious damage of the movement due to abuse or neglect.
Otherwise, there are no restrictions.
See the retailer’s website for their own returns policy. It may not be 6 weeks, but if the watch is still in as-delivered condition, you may want to ask if they’ll accept its return.
Regardless of where you bought your NTH, the movement is covered under the 6 year guarantee, retro-active to 2016, when NTH started.
NTH maintains a selection of gently used watches called "Nearly New". These are typically review or photography samples, or pieces which have been worn a few times, yet are still in excellent, near-mint or better condition. Each has been thoroughly inspected by our watchmaker, to include checking their timekeeping.
These watches are available to purchase at reduced prices, but may also be returned for refund, for up to 60 days from the date of purchase, subject to the terms of the program.
If you decide you don’t want to keep the watch, and you don’t want to buy the same or a different model new, you have 60 days from the date of purchase to send it back to us. After 60 days, we will consider the sale final, and the watch cannot be returned.
For the first 30 days, your refund will be 10% less than the amount paid for the watch, and 20% less for the next 30 days, not including the original shipping costs, which are not refundable.
If you decide you would rather return the watch, but plan to buy a new NTH, from our store, or from any of our retailers, we will refund 100% of your purchase (net of payment processing fees), upon confirming your purchase of a new NTH of equal or greater value, within 30 days of receiving the returned watch.
In either of the above scenarios, so long as the watch is returned in the same condition it was in when you received it, we’ll accept its return, and issue your refund. Return shipping in either scenario will also be at the customer’s expense.
Things happen. We understand that you’ll be wearing the watch, and it might show some additional, yet minor signs of wear. If the change in condition is minimal, we’ll ignore it.
If the damage is minor, but deemed repairable by NTH, we will repair it and deduct a reasonable cost for the repair from your refund amount.
Otherwise, if the damage cannot be repaired, you have the option of keeping the watch, or accepting a reduced refund, which will be determined at the sole discretion of NTH.
Simply use the contact form of our website to let us know you'd like to return the watch to us. Please provide your order number and correct email address. Please also tell us if you plan to purchase a new NTH, and from where - our store, or one of our authorized retailers, and which one. We will respond with return shipping instructions, typically within 24 hours, or the next business day.
When we receive the watch back from you, we will inspect its condition, to ensure no damage was done to it. If there is no damage, and if you are planning to buy a new NTH, we will refund 100% of what you paid for the watch, upon confirmation of your purchase of a new NTH of equal or greater value.
Otherwise, we will refund 90% of the watch's purchase price for up to 30 days from the date of purchase, and 80% for the next 30 days.

Pre-order prices may or may not be lower than final in-stock retail prices, depending on the wait involved for delivery. When pre-order prices are lower, both the starting or current pre-order price and the final in-stock retail price will be shown on the product page.
Prices seen on our site prior to pre-orders starting are for a limited number of pieces. Pre-order prices will be raised, quickly, and without warning, based on the number of pieces sold, and as we near our delivery date.
The number of pieces available at each pre-order price level may change before and during pre-orders, and may not be disclosed publicly.
We will be monitoring pre-orders and adding available inventory in real time during the early hours of pre-orders.
When the number of pieces available at a pre-order price level run out, the product will appear "sold out" until we add additional inventory. Please refresh the page during the early hours of pre-orders, or if not, please check back regularly, as we may add more inventory soon.
If you have one of those "sold out" pieces in your cart, you will not be able to complete checkout. That item will need to be removed from your cart, then re-added at the new price, before you complete checkout. We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience this causes.
Once pre-orders have started, we will likely adjust the number of pieces of each version available based on early pre-order results.
Pre-orders can be canceled for a refund at any time up until we begin processing orders for shipping. Order cancel requests can be submitted through our contact page. We reserve the right to charge a $50 service fee for canceled pre-orders, which we will ordinarily waive based on circumstances.
Once placed, we cannot change pre-orders to add or delete products, or change from one product to another. If you have changed your mind about the product you pre-ordered, we can cancel your order, refund you, and you can order again, at the then-current price.
Please be sure about your choices before pre-ordering.
If your shipping address has changed since placing your order, we must edit your shipping address in our shipping system, which does NOT happen automatically by updating your address on our website. Please be sure to update your address on our site, AND email us to let us know which address you'd like us to ship your order to.
Coupon codes from our loyalty rewards program can always be used, with all products, including pre-orders.
Because most pre-orders are discounted from final, in-stock retail prices, most other coupon codes will not be applicable on pre-orders, or may not become usable until prices have gone up from the starting pre-order price.
Unless otherwise noted, coupon codes may not be "stacked". Only one code may be used per order.
Because of problems caused by order changes, and website limitations, we cannot edit or combine existing orders once placed, nor can we issue partial refunds for unused or forgotten coupon codes.
Coupon codes generated by our website do not expire, and can be used on a future purchase. Please take your time, add everything you want to your cart, and use any coupon codes prior to completing checkout.
If need be, we can cancel your order and refund you, and you can re-order.
Please see our Shipping FAQs, Returns Policy, and Warranty for further information.
We may not be able to provide timely support during the early hours of pre-orders, and as such, we urge all customers to read the following guidelines prior to pre-orders starting.
1. Create a customer account before pre-orders start. Make sure you add your billing address, shipping address, email, phone number, and payment preferences. Make sure you are logged into your customer account before pre-orders start.
2. If you wish to pay with a credit card, especially if you are outside the USA, verify the name and billing address you provided in your customer account a exactly as they appear on your billing statement.
Our site uses a secure checkout with address verification, to prevent credit card fraud. Credit cards may be declined at checkout if any of the billing address details you provided are different than they appear in the card issuer's records, or if the issuing bank does not participate in the AVS fraud prevention system, as many non-US banks do not.
3. Familiarize yourself with the different versions of a new model, and the available options for each. Not all versions of a new model will have the same options available, such as date/no-date options. Many products will have various add-ons, such as straps, available at discounted prices when added as options.
4. If the number of pieces available at any pre-order price run out, the product will appear to be "sold out" until we can add additional inventory, and you will not be able to complete checkout with that item in your cart. The item must be removed, then re-added from the product page, at the new price.
5. Large orders may qualify for free shipping or discounted pricing, which will be automatically applied at checkout.
6. If your credit card is declined, do NOT keep trying to use it.
Repeated attempts may create multiple "phantom charges" in your account, which may take days for the card issuer to resolve and clear from your account. There is nothing we can do to help resolve them.
7. We recommend you use PayPal, Apple Pay or Amazon Pay at checkout if your credit card is declined.
Please be sure your PayPal account is verified by adding a credit card to your PayPal profile. We will only ship to verified PayPal addresses.
8. Mobile devices and operating system differences.
Our website is optimized for mobile devices and all operating systems. If you have difficulty navigating our site, please use a different device.
