For sales to addresses within the EU, the price shown on the website will include all applicable taxes relating to purchases for personal use.

Customers permanently leaving the UK or EU after purchase

If you are visiting the United Kingdom, or the European Union, from a country outside of the European Union and leave within 3 months of purchasing the watch then you can back claim the VAT, at the prevailing rate, when you leave.

All orders placed from outside the European Union may be subject to additional import taxes imposed by your local government. If imposed, the responsibility remains with the purchaser to settle these additional tariffs directly with the responsible government agency or its agent.

In certain circumstances additional fees may be applied by postal agencies or couriers to collect these tariffs should the government agency allow delivery services to offer this service within their territory.

The Watch Hut encourages all overseas customers who are unsure of current Customs and Excise requirements in their region to contact their local office for advice on importation tariffs for goods received from the UK.

Watches Under Guarantee

All of our watches are covered by their manufacturer's guarantees, please consult your guarantee booklet for information on the length its length. You should keep any guarantee booklets and cards safe so that they are available if necessary. We strongly recommend that you read the guarantee as this informs you what is and what is not covered, but we have included a general guide below.

In general, the manufacturer's guarantee covers malfunctions that arise due to defects in materials and workmanship. The manufacturer's guarantee does not cover damage to the bracelet, strap, attachments or the glass crystal due to normal wear and tear, accidental damage and excessive wear and tear/abuse. It also does not cover water damage done to the watch if it has been used outside of the manufacturer's recommended guidelines. The guarantee is usually rendered void if unauthorised repairs have been carried out by someone other than an authorised dealer of the brand. The manufacturer's guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights.

We always recommend that if your watch does develop a fault you take it into an authorised dealer of the brand who should be able to confirm whether it is covered under the guarantee or not. If the watch does develop a fault which is covered by the guarantee then you can either return it direct to the manufacturer yourself, with a covering note outlining the problem and your guarantee booklet, or return it to us to send to the manufacturer on your behalf. If you want to return it to us then we would ask you to include a covering note outlining what the problem is and containing a contact number. We also require you to send in your guarantee booklet, card or certificate. Upon receipt we shall check and test the watch to confirm any faults and whether they should be covered by the guarantee and then return it to the manufacturer as necessary. If we find that the problem is not covered by the guarantee, we shall inform you as soon as possible. The turnaround time for repairs under guarantee is usually 3 to 4 weeks, subject to part availability. If there is going to be a longer delay then we shall contact you to inform you of this. If the problem is not covered by the guarantee we can still get it repaired for you by the manufacturer but there will be a charge, inclusive of postage. We will inform you of this charge and if you wish to have the work done then we will need payment prior to the work being undertaken.
