Gnomon Watches Reviews 

They are not apparent in pricing and tariff duties are not included. They use dhl express shipping and you get additional bills from DHL to collect customs duties.

Terrible experience. Ordered bracelet from them - for Steinhart Ocean One 39.
I got the bracelet with one missing screw for attaching it to the end link and on the other side it had middle link which was apparently part of the handling attached.
At first I thought it was missing that middle link on the other side but turns out no.
So in short they send me a product which has been tempered with.
When I asked him and short pictures they just told me to buy and links which do not include a screw.
Then multiple times asked me do I want a screw or do I want the end links but kept pushing for buying the endings - like I can use the endings without that screw...
In the end got my money back from PayPal. They never offered to send the missing screw free of charge. Terrible customer service experience.
Would not recommend buying anything from them.

I ordered a Seiko Samurai PADI and was told in an email that there would be no extra tax to pay, needless to say when I get my DHL shipping notice there's also a tax bill attached. I emailed Gnomon Watches and they said there's nothing they could do. I told them I would reject the watch and demand a refund, they then paid the tax. When the watch arrived it was stuffed in a generic Seiko box that was clearly not designed for the watch. I emailed them again to explain that I needed the original box as it was a special edition and therefore, so was the box. There response was that Seiko PADI special edition watches don't come in the 'special edition' PADI box, multiple other Seiko dealers said it does come with the PADI box. I insisted on having the box and as if by magic they informed me that they had one box left. The box was shipped out and I received another tax invoice! All in all a very poor experience. I would not buy from Gnomon Watches again or recommend them.

I have ordered several watches from this site. Large variety with good general descriptions of the watches you are viewing (sometimes with interesting historical or general brand information included) along with thorough tech info-much abbreviated. Some brands that are had to get elsewhere-such as Hitori Japan. Very fast shipping, typically arriving 4 days post order an surprisingly no customs hangups (very common when I have ordered watches from outside the US; sometimes has taken 3-4 weeks) suggesting Gnomon is sending all the detailed information that US customs require (especially of watches whose pieces are often sourced from multiple countries). Not always the very best prices but frequently so despite the shipping/duties costs.

I just bought a citizen watch that is rare to find in the USA. I bought it new at with a 25% discount. I got the watch about 4 days later by DHL. Excellent service. Will buy from them again.

After waiting for it to get back in stock, I ordered a Steinhart Ocean 39 Green from Gnomon Watches online because I wanted a nice daily dive watch to wear in place of my Submariner. Thru my research, Steinhart had great reviews on quality for the price of the watch so I took a chance. When the watch arrived, I saw that it definitely looked and felt premium right out of the box. Upon close visual inspection, I noticed two very small dot defects on the bezel insert. Under certain lighting angles, you can see one of the defects with the naked eye. I took pictures of the defects, and sent them to Gnomon to let them know about it. I also noticed that the watch was running 10 seconds fast per day. I let them know about that as well in my email to customer service. They responded within 48 hours to me by email and here is the response -

" The watch is powered by a Sellita SW200 movement, with an expected accuracy of approximately up to ±20 seconds per day according to the movement specifications. Any variation within this range is considered normal.
Regarding the spot on the bezel, you may try gently removing it using a toothpick to see if it can be cleared."

After looking up the specifications on the movement of the watch, I discovered that they are correct and that it is within tolerance variations. I guess I just expected more from a modern swiss movement in 2026. However, the response for the bezel defects was severely lacking. Really?? Take a tooth pic and try to clean it?? Not, we are so sorry about this, we will send you a replacement and we will send you a shipping label so you can ship that one back to us, or please take it to this service center and we will have it changed out for you.
If I purchase a brand new $600 watch and right out of the box it has small defects, am I being too critical or should I expect better quality and better service on this purchase? I don't think I am out of line here. Just beware when you purchase from a overseas seller, the level of service you will encounter may not be what you are expecting. Overall, I love the watch and it is gorgeous. Despite the small issues, it is a great value for the price point. Service is not a strong point with Gnomon Watches.

Bought a watch from them at a great price, their responses via email were super fast and clear. Watch arrived in perfect condition, well packed and FAST!
Will buy again from then!

Excellent service. I purchased a Squale watch, which arrived in 3 business days (Singapore to Canada) in perfect condition.
Prior to ordering, the watch was shown on the website with only a rubber strap. I emailed Gnomon to ask if a steel bracelet was possible. Anders Tan responded promptly, and added the steel bracelet option to the website. Great experience.

Avete venduto una serie di orologi Squale con un logo di proprieta' di terzi soggetti senza che la Squale e voi abbiate chiesto autorizzazioni ai proprietari intellettuali di questo logo che comprende una ragazza in apnea che nuota ,usando il nome della ragazza senza nessuna autorizzazione , non siete assolutamente persone serie , e la Squale ancora peggio che vi ha proposto quel logo .
Siete purtroppo poco seri , vergognatevi !!!!!
Forse voi non avete colpa di questa truffa nei confronti di chi qualche anno prima aveva acquistato un orologio Squale con un quadrante personalizzato con un logo di proprieta' intellettuale di terze persone costruito per un gruppo di appassionati a questo marchio , l'unica vostra mancanza è stata quella di aver pubblicato delle foto dell'atleta al quale era dedicato l'orologio sapendo benissimo che la stessa "Alessia Zecchini " era gia' sotto contratto con la famosa maison di orologi svizzeri "Ulisse Nardin"
si vergognino Squale e Gnomon Watches di questa gravissima scorrettezza

I really wanted to have a good experience with Gnomon Watches, but sadly it was the opposite. I placed an order for a watch and waited patiently, only to realize it hadn’t shipped even after two full weeks. I emailed their support and was told it would go out the following week—but that week came and went with no update, no tracking number, nothing.

I tried reaching out through every channel I could: email, social media, their website. Days went by with absolutely no response. Then, out of nowhere, I received an automated email saying my order had been cancelled and refunded. No explanation, no apology, not even a short message acknowledging all the delays and lack of communication.

This was a really disappointing experience from a retailer I expected much better from. Great watches or not, customer service matters, and this felt like I was completely ignored from start to finish. I won’t be ordering from them again.

Squale 1521: good price, excellent comms and very fast delivery.

Ordered online, received a purchase order immediately and the watch shipped the next day.
The watch arrived in 4 days (to Europe) where it was delivered and was in perfect condition, box was well protected during transit also.

I saw 3.5 stars and was dubious, but I can’t see why it isn’t 4-5 stars. Would order from them again, no questions asked.

I bought and orient star from them that had some cosmetic issues. Let’s just say make sure you are buying from an authorized dealer for specific brands. Otherwise Gnomon was great. Shipping was extremely fast and all customer service was responded to quickly.

Order placed: August 7, 2025.
No shipping, no replies for four days despite my emails and instant messages.

On August 11, Gnomon finally responded claiming the “last piece” failed QC. Let’s be honest—due to the delay, they simply ran out of stock. Calling it a QC issue is insulting to my intelligence.

This is unacceptable service, and I will not be shopping with Gnomon again.

Gnomon and Anders made my experience with this company exceptional. The watch is very high quality and the speed of delivery was unbelievable to outback Queensland Australia. Will not be my last purchase.

Really good AD, best prices for Ball watches. I ordered mine and it was promptly shipped within a day, arrived in 4 days total so very fast from Singapore. It was packaged very well, lots of cushioning and a nice free polishing cloth alongside.
The watch was in perfect condition and had a filled out warranty card with it. I can’t complain about anything it was an incredibly easy process, and the price was great I feel like I got a good deal.
Thank you Gnomon, I will always come to you for watches in the future.

Even though I had some issues trying to buy on Gnomon, the customer service helped me and guided me fantastically! Anders Tan answered me fast, reliable, very effectively and with excellent treatment. This is the second time I buy here and I’ll continue doing it!

I ordered a watch and a watch travel roll from them. I received just the watch. After seding them an email, they told me that the watch roll was not up to their standards and did not shipped it. The last batch of the rolls were defective due to high humidity. They apologized for not informing me before hand about the situation and they will process a refund. I gave 4 stars for failing to communicate before hand, but I appreciate the fact that they inspect their products before shipping. I will buy from them again and I recommend them.

Ho acquistato uno steinhart ocean One GMT Black

I have received my purchase "Glycine watch Airman" on time. Before that, I contacted their customer service, and they have been great explaining what is available and what is not. I am very happy and satisfied with their service and the watch. I will definitely continue buying from them. Thank you.
