Mcquaide Reviews 32

Rob is the best. His interest in making sure his customers get what they want is very apparent.
I can’t wait to buy another watch from him. No one else makes what he does. They are all one of a kind timepieces.

Excellent fast service. This is a true work of art.

The watch is very nice, but could be better if the clasp was Damascus as well as the case, as the Oceaneva Damascus watches have, I have both, the McQuaide is better but £200 dearer.
A Damascus strap would lift the watch to a must have but I suspect the cost would be prohibitive.
Customer service was excellent.

Mcquaide Q1 Abyss
At this price point, it genuinely doesn’t get any better. I feel like I’ve just received the buy of the century. I went for the blue face with the blue strap and it’s absolutely stunning. It wears beautifully, and I can already see this becoming my daily — it’s a proud addition to the collection.

Service was impeccable, UK delivery was lightning fast, and I had the watch in my hands within 38 hours of ordering. Quality, design, service — full marks across the board. Tudor-level quality at a fraction of the cost.

Extremely happy with the overall service and quality of the watch. Communication was great and received my watch in less than a week from the UK to the US. The Damascus on these time pieces are done wonderfully. I would highly recommend Mcquaide Watches to anyone looking for a well made and high quality watch.

Excellent watch for a bargain price. They put so much attention to every detail of the watch. Its case, bezel, dial, hands, lume and crown...everything is great!

Superb customer service from order to receipt. Kept in the loop at all stages. Quality watch with outstanding attributes. An absolute stunner.

Waited till World Time Uk to see the Q1 on the wrist and was very impressed not only with the watch, which wears really well, but with Rob's knowledge and vision. After the show my son convinced me to by him the Obsidian which Rob kindly send photos of each individual Damacus pattern for him to choose.

Rob is passionate about his watches. The design is individual and each watch is unique. It feels like a much more expensive watch - very cool and simple. I love it !

I recently received my McQuaide Q1, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The moment I opened the box, I knew this was something truly special. The Damascus steel case is absolutely stunning in person—it has so much character and makes the watch feel like a piece of art on my wrist.

The watch itself is incredible—1000m water resistance, helium escape valve, Swiss Sellita movement, and a super comfortable strap. It’s rugged yet elegant, and I can tell this will be a piece I’ll treasure for years to come.

And I have to mention Rob, the founder. He personally kept in touch with me throughout the entire process, answering every question and making sure everything went smoothly. That level of care is rare these days, and it made the whole experience even more special.

Superb customer service and support during the purchase process. Timepiece is superb, excellent build quality, and the Damascus individuality of each piece is stunning. Would thoroughly recommend McQuaide watches - thank you Rob.

A stunner of a watch and an outstanding retail experience! The Q1 is a unique proposition in terms of craft, design, exclusivity and quality. All reviews set high expectations but both the watch and the buying experience far surpassed and anticipation.

What a pleasure to exchange emails with Rob. The Q-1 is a spectacular work of art and it was nice to communicate with the man behind McQuaide!

It shipped Friday and I had it in Washington state on Tuesday.

I’m looking forward to Rob’s next offering!

A simply stunning Watch!!!!!

What can I say about this watch that isn’t obvious? This unique timepiece is robust, durable, ergonomic, and a treat for the eyes every time I admire the Damascus material.

I’ve taken it paddle boarding, sea swimming, mountain biking, and worn it as my everyday watch in an industrial environment. It hasn’t let me down in any way and still looks as good as the day I unboxed it—which came with every extravagance: a soft outer sleeve, a cushion-filled box, and a maintenance pack included.

What makes it even more special is that I was lucky enough to get a serial number that matches the birth of my twin babies—a detail that makes this watch truly one of a kind for me.

I can’t wait to see what McQuaide brings to the table next. I’ll definitely be expanding my collection with the next iteration.

Superb customer care
Superb design
Superb quality finish

Bought my first McQuaide the Q1 Obsidian and within a few days of wearing it I was so happy with it I contacted Rob for a second one in the Crimson.

Can't wait to see what he releases next.

Exceptional product, punches well above

Absolutely fantastic quality and service. Rob has excelled in his choices and production. He also delivers on his promises.

The service I’ve received from Rob has been exemplary.
I work in an industry where everyone has at least one prestige watch and we all clock who is wearing what, but steadfastly refuse to acknowledge or talk about what’s on each other’s wrist. But this week alone I’ve had three in-depth conversations about my Crimson Q1 and there have been many more curious glances. It’s certainly turning heads!
I’m pleased with the way it keeps time, the proportions and its heft - you know when you’re wearing it. However, the best bit is the Damascus steel; it’s a look that truly sets the Q1 apart from other watches.
