My watch arrived super quick and in mint condition. It’s a shame our local store has closed down so I had to drive a little further to take some links out but they had very friendly and helpful staff... See more

Huge delay, awful service
Ordered an Omega watch on a Saturday with guaranteed next day delivery. Did not arrive until the following Saturday. Was a 40th gift for my husband so was completely gutted this did not arrive in time and ruined what was supposed to be a very special day.
One email only saying order was delayed, no details on how long for. The online chat was constantly unavailable and a 40 minute wait on the phone. Email assistance took 5 days to get a response. Terrible service will never buy from goldsmiths again.

Good quality and exceptional next day delivery
I was looking for a specific item of jewellery and it was nice there was a range to choose from that was reasonably priced across the marketplace generally. I did have some website difficulties when researching the previous day to the purchase, but didn’t experience this on the day of purchase. I wasn’t expecting next day delivery, particularly to arrive on a Sunday, but it happened, which I thought was exceptional customer service. The chain I purchased was lovely, I’m really happy with it, it was well packaged too and I would definitely purchase again from Goldsmiths.

Appalling service
Appalling service! I have spent circa £6500 on 4 watches with them in the last year. One of them has failed which I reported 6 weeks ago. They make you wait 7 days just to respond to an email. Most recently they tried to tell me it was a different type of watch that I had and that I was using it incorrectly. I corrected them on which type of watch I had and they didn't bother responding at all... so far its been 10 days. I tried to contact them on live chat and having answered a few generic questions it just replied saying "live chat not available at the moment". So annoyed with them! Avoid at all costs if you value being looked after

Received a £4k watch damaged
Received a £4k watch damaged. This is the second time that I have received a damaged watch from the watches of Switzerland group. The customer service is also appalling. No quick resolutions to issues caused by clear lack of quality control. I am now, once again, £4k out of pocket until I have returned the watch for inspection and my refund is issued. I will be spending my money with the smaller boutiques in the future where I receive much better service all round.
