Shipping / Handling
We ship both domestically and internationally via UPS and FedEx. Our watches are shipped fully insured and typically arrive within 2-3 days for domestic shipments. International shipments typically arrive within 3-5 days.
For domestic shipments, we now have our watches delivered to a local UPS access point (UPS store or similar) when possible. This allows our customers to pick up their watch at their convenience vs having to have someone be at their residence to sign for it.
Batteries
We offer free battery changes on all of our HAQ watches. As part of the battery change service, we replace all low pressure seals and clean / inspect the watch. We only ask you to pay the shipping.
