[Verified WATCHO buyer. Purchase date: 18/12/2023] I’m a fan of large diving watches & this Seiko is ever so slightly smaller and sleeker but only by 1 or 2mm overall, if I wasn’t so used to huge watches the Willard would seem like quite a chunk! A beautiful piece of design. Never heard of Watcho before so there was an element of nervousness about spending over £800. The watch arrived in less than 48 hours, securely packed and requiring my signature. I’d been after this particular watch for over a year when Watcho turned up in a search with an unmissable deal.
[Verified WATCHO buyer. Purchase date: 20/11/2023] Lovely watch. Smaller case size makes it very wearable and a lot lighter than my Baby Tuna. Great colour too.
[Verified WATCHO buyer. Purchase date: 29/10/2023] First watch that I really don't want to take off. Competitive price, great communication and rapid dispatch.
[Verified WATCHO buyer. Purchase date: 14/10/2023] Excellent quality service.

Verified WatchO buyer (Purchase date: 30/12/2020) Dont normally write reviews however I must say the service from watcho was first class. Great price and free next day delivery. The watch is awesome, it exceeded my expectations, was torn between the 153 and the 143, glad i went with the willard. "I haven't taken it off since it arrived.
Excellent service, watch was well packaged and arrived ahead of stated delivery date. would highly recommend."
