CreationWatches allows you to return most watches within 30 days of purchase. You must initiate returns by email with your order number and reason, and return shipping costs depend on why you are returning the item.

How returns work

You begin by emailing CreationWatches support with your order number and reason for return. After the retailer provides you with an RMA number and shipping instructions, you pack the watch securely and ship it using a trackable courier. Once the retailer inspects your return, you can choose either a refund or an exchange for another model.

Exclusions and restrictions

CreationWatches does not accept returns on watches that show signs of wear or have been resized or altered, since these are permanently modified or no longer in original unworn condition. The retailer does not accept returns in physical stores for items ordered online. Ratio brand watches qualify for an extended 60 day return window.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method. If your return qualifies for free return shipping, you will receive either a free return label or reimbursement for postage. The retailer does not state how long refunds take to appear in your account.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay for return shipping?

Return shipping costs depend on your reason for returning. If your watch arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, CreationWatches covers return shipping by providing a free label or postage reimbursement. If you are returning the item for a change of mind, you pay for return shipping.

How long do I have to return a watch?

You have 30 days from purchase to return most watches. If you purchased a Ratio brand watch, you have 60 days to return it.

Do I need the original box and accessories to return my watch?

CreationWatches states that a missing box does not prevent your return. However, if accessories or items are missing, your refund may be reduced.

Can I return an online order in a CreationWatches store?

No. CreationWatches does not accept returns of online orders in physical stores. You must return items by mail using the RMA process.

Can I exchange my watch for a different model instead of getting a refund?

Yes. You can exchange for another model within 30 days of purchase. If there is a price difference between the watches, that difference is settled directly with CreationWatches during the process. The retailer advises customers on replacement options.

What watches cannot be returned?

Watches that show any signs of wear or use cannot be returned, as they must remain in original unworn condition. Additionally, watches that have been resized or altered cannot be returned because these are permanent modifications.

How long does it take to get my refund after I ship my watch back?

CreationWatches does not publish a specific timeframe for refund processing after your return is received and inspected.
