Reply from Original Grain

Hey Tim, I’m glad we got your message. A few quick things I’d like to point out. Each of our watches are sized but we include extra links in the box that can easily assembled.

If you ever needed more links or components to we keep extra around & I can 100% send you more. I’d be happy to send you a tool as well to adjust the band if you don’t have one.

The Card insert combines the Quartz Chrono movements because the 3-hand functionality is essentially the same function. I see how that may be confusing & I can make some of those updates to our instructional insert.

I thank you for your feedback, if you still are unsatisfied let’s get that BadBoy returned. We’re happy to process a refund. If this was a Holiday Gift we extended the return length through Jan 5th and exchanged through the 25th.

Feel free to email me direct if you’d like to talk further: andrew@originalgrain.com
For returns or more links you can contact support@originalgrain.com

Hope we get to talk more.

Three watches and very pleased

I have purchased three watches from Original Grain. One of the watches received was a duplicate watch. Original Grain went above and beyond by letting me return the duplicate mystery watch and sending me a new unique watch. Customer service is the best. Looking forward to more purchases in the future.

Thought by reviews it would be a long process but was not

Giving a 4 only because we had an issue on a watch given as a gift and shouldn’t have even minor issues 30 days in. But that being said we contacted them, took it to a jeweler for the fix, submitted the cost and we were reimbursed quickly.

Watch is nice looking so glad it survived the process.

Don't order watches from Original Grain

I recently ordered what we thought would be a beautiful, unique, and American-made product. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my son-in-law. The watch face was advertised to display "Old No. 7 Brand," which is the Jack Daniels brand. However, the watch face arrived blank.

I contacted the company, and they asked for pictures. After I sent them, their response was that the wood grain doesn't always match the advertisement due to the natural variations. Their solution was either to return the product for another one (which they confirmed wouldn't arrive by Christmas) or to receive a refund.

I am extremely disappointed with the deceptive practices of this company. I feel misled, like many others I've read about this holiday season. It's unacceptable to take advantage of customers, especially during this time of year. I would advise others to avoid Original Grain.

Lost but not found

I ordered a watch on December 9th, 2025, and today is December 18, 2025, and I still have not received it. Not only have I not received it, but no one can tell me where it is. Other than email, there is no customer service to speak with making it difficult to communicate and resolve issues quickly. All I want is to know where my watch is and some action showing someone is at least trying to help.

STAY AWAY - no watch is worth this

First clue: no customer service phone number. That is because their customer service is non existent. So poorly run. I have emailed them 6 times with only one response of "Oh we are so sorry you didn't enjoy your experience, but we will be in touch". STAY AWAY!!!!

Good experience 9

Although, shipping was slower than I expected, I believe the holidays may be to blame. The watch is beautiful and I have received many compliments. It's a great addition to my collection.

Customer service is poor

Customer service is poor. There is no login on their website. No receipt included with shipment. Watch is mediocre quality. Packaging is good. If there is a problem with the watch, I’m sure I’m screwed. It’s a Christmas gift. Can’t even confirm this is the actual watch I purchased. Not feeling too good about this company- watches are made in China.

Just received an email from customer service. They provided a copy of my receipt as well as a packing slip. I emailed this afternoon. Quick response but difficult to speak with a person. Email was sufficient. Verdict is out on watch quality.

Great quality

Original grain chrono watches are some of the best watches I’ve ever owned. Super scratch resistant. Beautiful watches.

Unique

Unique, quality watches. I got the Forest Fire Ember watch, and I love the look and aesthetic of the watch. Well done! I'm not too much of a whiskey enthusiast but, I will be looking to get a whiskey barrel watch in the future. Thanks again for an amazing, and interesting timepiece.
