I bought a Guess watch a year and a…

I bought a Guess watch a year and a half ago. But now the watch is starting to lose time. The battery has been replaced by an official retailer, but the complaint remains. I have been emailing the email addresses listed on the website for three days.
There is simply no reply. They should be giving a warranty as Guess give a two year international warranty.
Now suddenly they do not give home, service and warranty so giving 0

Do not buy from this website !!!!

Here are some terms and conditions. Please read, they can change everything without giving any guarantee and\/or service. so before you order they also say you should have read everything first. Pff can I get a 5 euro battery back? Don't make me laugh. They make a lot of money off other people's backs.
So read the terms and conditions first and then do NOT buy anything is the advice here! See below.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and for the delay in responding to your emails. After reviewing your case, it seems your email inadvertently ended up in our spam folder, which is why we missed it. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we regret the oversight.

We would like to clarify that our seller warranty covers one year from the date of purchase. While the international warranty offered by Guess applies to purchases made directly through their channels, our warranty terms are specified on our website at the time of purchase.

Since you mentioned replacing the battery but the issue persists, it is possible there could be a mechanical problem with the watch. Unfortunately, such issues are beyond the scope of our warranty. However, we are committed to assisting you in any way we can.

We have responded to your email now and are happy to guide you through the next steps. For future reference, we also have multiple channels of communication, including our WhatsApp number listed on our website, for faster assistance.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to resolve this to your satisfaction.

Best regards,

The site is extremely unreliable

The site is extremely unreliable, especially with pricing for products like watches. I placed an order that was initially confirmed but later automatically canceled due to a staff error. I wouldn’t recommend shopping here, as they appear to be scammers.

Don’t buy!!!

Don’t buy!!!
I Bought a Fossil ladies automatic watch which didn’t keep time. I contacted Big Daddy ten times over a period of 5 months and left countless telephone messages for them to call me back, which they didn’t. Eventually I had an email from Eric at Big Daddy advising me to take my watch to the nearest watch repair shop so they can inspect it & Big Daddy would cover the expenses with a store credit I could use for future purchases. Not good enough!!!

A fantastic company

I have just bought my 4th watch from this company. They are excellent to deal with and offer a totally professional service. Their products are wonderful! Each one has arrived in New Zealand in 5-6 days which is fantastic! I will definitely order from them again and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Absolute disgrace of a business

Absolute disgrace of a business.
Ordered a black Nixon 51-30 for a xmas present in December, instead received a gold Nixon Sentry Chrono Gold!
$100 price difference on their website.
Emailed them immediately to get it sorted nil response. Have not heard a word from them after multiple attempts.
Do not order from here. Scammers!

By the way after big Daddy Watches replied to this review. They never got back to me or sorted out the wrong watch I received. Absolute rip offs.

ORDER PAID FOR BUT NOT SHIPPED.

I brought a Nixon 48-20 on there website at Big Daddy Watches for 251 and they aren't shipping my order due to fraudulent errors. I have asked for them to refund the order as i wasn't comfortable with sending personal information and they haven't emailed or messaged me back on whatsapp. They took my money blatently and arent replying back to the refund. I sent my ID and Bank statement that they have asked for and i still haven't gotten a reply!!! Wasted 250 dollars of my hard earned money on a website that took my money and not shipping the order i paid for. My order number is 55843. Do not recommend to anyone and will be flagging every post i see for scam so hopefully no one is able to get scammed out of there money again. If I get my watch or a refund will take down but for now trying to still contact for my order to be shipped. If any members of Big Daddy watches sees this can you reply to my emails.

Total scam

Total scammers, DO NOT BUY. I ordered a watch from this 'Australian' website in December. The package arrived from Dubai a few weeks later. I should have paid $50 more to buy the Nixon watch locally because it turns out the one I received is a fake. It soon showed condensation on the face and stopped working.
Order #49865 - legit from my side, took my money, but provided a fake product.

Very unprofessional, a waste of time and money

If I could give minus stars I would. First off I am very disappointed with their service, I ordered this watch on the 30th last month and on the 2nd of this month I got an email saying my order is complete, after waiting 5 days I got no updates on my order, I was very concerned because I paid an extra 30$ for the 3-4 day shipping and emailed them asking for updates, they didn’t reply so I tried messaging and still no reply, on the 6th I finally get an email only to say that the watch I ordered is “currently unavailable”, they give me the option for a replacement but I ask for a refund which they have not responded, it’s been 3 days since then and I have emailed and messaged them several times without any reply back, these guys try to sound professional but are useless, DO NOT BUY FROM BIGDADDYWATCHES unless you want to waste your time and money.

Very disappointing with your service. When I messaged you guys to ask about the product I got prompt reply but now after wasting my money yet not receiving the order,I’ve been trying to contact you people multiple times with no luck. Very bad customer service, unfortunately I have to give bad reviews re: your company and service.If you guys are very good with customer service please have a look my issues. I’ve ordered 2MK watches however only received one and haven’t heard anything about my refund or you guys don’t even bother replying my email or answering my call. My ref. No is 49730.

Totally Fraud

Very dissapointed!! Please don't order in this shop as this is fraud!😡 I lost 228AUD not including the shipping fee that I paid for returning back the watch🤬 Returned the watch on 16-08-23 due to not functioning and has some marks and stains on it. I tried to contact them on the phone provided and I was redirected to their service on "Whats App" (Nox-Bridge Watches). At first, they were accomodating and said they will refund/replaced my item. Fast forward, I message them a couple of times if they already received the watch that I have returned, and they message me back on 15-09-23 confirming that they had received it. I was then advised to browse on their affiliated website (The Watches Men & Co.) to choose for replacement. I then replied that I would like to be refunded as I haven't found a watch that I like and after saying that, I didn't got any updates from them until now, even tried to call on their number but they don't answer🤬Its totally scammed! Please dont waste your money here! BE CAREFUL

Warranty not honoured

Contacted Big Daddy team regarding warranty as I need to get my watch fixed. Was told to get it fixed myself and they would give me store credit. As the watch is still under warranty, this is unacceptable. Pay for the repair or refund my watch.
