Warranty

U.S. Customers

We offer a Two Year Warranty on all purchases made from July 1st, 2017. Any purchases made prior to July 1st, 2017 hold a 10 Year Limited Warranty. In the event of a defect or malfunction within the warranty period from date of purchase, your watch will be repaired or replaced, at our option.

The limited warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear, abuse or water damage and excludes batteries, case, strap or bracelet; does not cover costs, parts or labor, shipping & handling, defects or damage caused by any source other than GUESS Watches. Proof of purchase is required for all Warranty Repairs. If you live in the U.S. contact us for more information.

International Customers

If you live outside the U.S., please contact your local representative for country-specific warranty information: guesswatches.com/pages/guesswatches-global-representative

Your GUESS or Gc watch is covered by an international guarantee against any manufacturing defects for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase. Any part found to be defective within this period will be repaired or replaced at no charge.

The GUESS & Gc Watches international guarantee certificate does not cover defects arising from damage, mishandling, incorrect or abusive use (knocks, crushing, moisture in non water-resistant watches), alteration or repairs not performed by an authorized GUESS or Gc Watches retailer.

Always have your watch checked, serviced and repaired by a GUESS or Gc Agent to maintain your guarantee.

Watch Care

Do

  • Use a soft tissue to clean the case and crystal of your timepiece.
  • If the case and crystal look very dirty, use a soft tissue dipped in soapy water.

Do Not

  • Clean a leather strap with anything other than clean water.
  • Never use chemical products like petroleum spirits to clean your timepiece.

It is preferable to avoid wearing your GUESS watch to the beach, or to play extreme sports, so as to avoid knocking or scratching them.

Repeated contact with perfumes, cosmetics, or household detergents may damage your timepiece.

Watches will withstand Water Resistance if the crystal, crown, push buttons, case and gaskets remain intact.

DO NOT operate crown or buttons when watch is wet or submerged.

A hard knock might cause the watch to lose its water-resistance. If you plan to use your watch under water, have the water-resistance checked at least every 12 months. If the case has to be opened for any reason, ask your GUESS agent to check the waterproof seals for the case back, glass and crown, and replace them if necessary.

Battery

Battery life may vary between 2 to 4 years, depending on the model and the way your watch is used.

Most of our quartz watches equipped with a centre seconds-hand have an end-of-life battery warning system (EOL). Approximately two weeks before the end of the battery-life, the centre seconds-hand jumps every four seconds to signal that the battery is running low. When this happens, replace the battery immediately. A dead battery inside the watch might damage the movement.

The measurement time is indicated by the stopwatch hands that move independently of center hands.

The stopwatch 1/10 second hand moves in 1/10 second increments during the first minute. After one minute, it indicates the measurement time when stopped.

Adjusting the stopwatch hand position:

Before setting the time, confirm the stopwatch 1/10 second, second, and minute hands are at the "0" (12 o'clock) position.

If the stopwatch is in use, reset it first as follows: if counting press A then B; if stopped press B; if split time displayed press B then A then B.

If either of the stopwatch hands are not in the “0” position, reset them by following these steps:
