Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 459 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are consistently impressed with the quality and design of the products, often noting that the watches look even better in person than online.

The value for the price is also a significant highlight, with consumers feeling they receive good quality and excellent design for their investment. Additionally, the delivery service is frequently praised for being fast and efficient, even for international orders. However, some customers experienced issues with their orders, such as receiving faulty products or incorrect items.

Great watch

Great watch, my wife loved it for Christmas! Shipping to the US took a little bit of time, but that was mainly from it sitting in customs on the US side, so just be aware if you’re looking to receive in the US. It arrived just in time and looks and works great :)

Thanks Nick, and yes this Christmas had been a real pain with customs in the US. It seems they just became overloaded with having to maually clear everything because of the tariff situation. Things are back to normal now (they've finally cleared the backlog!), and hopefully by next Chrsitmas they'lll have a much more efficient process in place.

Truley a Micro brand with unique style choices

I ordered two watches in early December after catching a sale - knowing that this is a small brand and that importing to the US is always a gamble (even though Riley Watch Co take on the unfair tariff charges).

They both arrived ahead of when I expected and are stunning in person - I could not recommend these enough to anyone from casual to serious watch collector. I will be keeping a keen eye on future releases.

if you are US based and unfamiliar with importing from another country, take 10 min to google the de minimus exemption going away in current administration. Right, wrong, or indifferent - this going away can lead to confusion and missed expectations on the consumer side and are more the adequately addressed by Riley Watch Co on both tarriff and shipping times.

Thanks so much for the review, and the note on the import process. We've done everything we can to make it seamless, and it seems as though the holiday season has left the team at US Customs with a lot of extra work this year. It's frustrating for us as a small business and for the customers affected by any delays, but I'm sure they're working as hard as possible to get the backlog cleared. It's a no win for anyone unfortunately, especially the customs team who are probably working round the clock, but everything seems to be moving now so theyr'e doing a good job!

Great watches, great service

I’ve bought several Riley watches over the past two years. I like them for their innovative designs, solid craftsmanship, and fair prices. Delivery was very fast.

Hey Don,

My apologies for this, I've tracked it through Royal Mail and for some reason it's not registering any movement. I'll contact you directly via the email we have on our system and get this sorted for you.

Right off theb bat, I'll refund the initial cost of the watch in full, and then we will either locate the missing piece or if it's gotten mixed up somewhere I'll send you replacement completely free of charge to compensate for the wait.

We really do our best to avoid situations like this, and I can only apologise for any inconvenienvce or miscommunication along the way. Hopefully the free watch will go some way to compensating the frustration surrounding the issue.

Thanks - Sam, Riley

My order cannot be delivered as unable to identify my delivery address so now I have no idea when or if I will get my watch as it was a Christmas gift.

Hi Diane

We ship the watches to the address you put into the checkout system. It’s an automated process. If it’s been marked as undeliverable, it’s because your local mail service doesn’t recognise the address.

Please email me at hello@rileywatchco.com and we’ll see if we can track it down for you.

Gorgeous watches and worth the wait

Not only are these watches absolutely stunning, but the Riley Watch Co customer support team is unmatched. I have personally contacted the customer support email address with questions and concerns. Each time I received personal and helpful responses. I will never turn to another company. Shipping to the US from London may take a while, watches can’t cross an ocean on their own, but it is so worth the wait. I am complimented on both my Riley watches every day (not an exaggeration; even strangers notice). I am so thankful I clicked on this particular Facebook ad!

Quick turnaround time on shipping the watch. It arrived in the US quickly and well-packaged. I was blown away by the watch. The finishing and details are much higher than the price, and it’s one of my most complimented watches (I have over 100). It seems like it it is a small business, and all my interruptions with the team have been met with a warm personal touch.

I purchased the HOWARD HUGHES CHRONOGRAPH for my husband as a birthday gift, and he LOVES it! He had a few questions after he received it, and the company was very quick to reply and super helpful. It's a wonderful addition to his watch collection, and I know he has his eyes on another one!

Perfect time teller arrived early to TN

I purchased my first Riley and won't be my last. Tells time like a champ. Perfect size, thin, efficient, does its job. Great daily wear. Goes with anything. Most importantly, arrived early in good ole Tennessee. Cheers. Get you one (or two of these). Cobb Solar

Thanks Dan, the Cobb Solars are my personal favourite of the watches we've made. Not the biggest sellers, but every time someone puts one on we get nothing but great feedback. We worked super hard to make this 'wearable' if that makes sense. Almost a watch you forget you've got on until you need it, and then it's always there because it charges itself!

I now own four Riley watches

I now own four Riley watches, they are great value for money and the customer service is talking directly to the watch creator and builder. If you are reading these reviews just buy a watch you will be pleased everytime you look at your wrist.

Beautiful hand made and distinctive

Beautiful hand made and distinctive watches. Craftsmanship takes time but it's worth waiting for. I have two Riley's now and would definitely buy again.

Thanks Paul, it's such a fine line between making sure we build these watches to the quality we promise and would expect, and making sure we get them to people in a timely fashion - especially given we sell a lot internationally. So it's nice to hear you sum it up that way, and it seems that we're ticking both boxes which is great to hear!

Better than the pictures and a great price

Many watches look great on line and only so-so when you get them. Got my Almond Rifleman Field on time and it looks fabulous. I seem to be wearing it fairly regularly.

Thanks William. You're rightm the pictures don't do it justice (the woes of a watchmaker trying to convince himself he can also be a photographer!). It's taken me a year or more to realise why photographers get paid so well for what they do, and it really is an art form in and of itself, especially with something as tricky as a watch dial!

Love my HH01 in blue! It's so elegant yet playful. I'm definitely eyeing their fairytale collections. Fast shipping and great customer service!

Cheers Kou, Our Fairytale collection (through Moonlight Workshop) has sold far better than we imagined. It was a niche offshoot, but it seems we've tapped into something really interesting, so keep an eye on that part if it's something you're tempted by. We've got some exciting updates that way coming.

I absolutely love my watch

I absolutely love my watch. First of all, it is gorgeous and meticulously made. Second, it’s nice to know that unlike so many other watch companies nowadays these watches are being made in London by a small business that is clearly centered around quality. I highly recommend shopping and purchasing a watch from Riley.

P.S. I just bought by second Riley Watch inside a month so you can certainly trust this brand!
