Luxury watch warranties are getting longer – but do buyers really benefit?
From Rolex and Omega’s five-year coverage to Hublot’s potential 10-year warranty, watch brands are promising more protection than ever. Here’s what that actually means for owners.
Luxury watch brands are extending their warranties, promising five to ten years of coverage. This move is part of an ongoing competition to attract enthusiasts and collectors. Longer warranties are not just for show, as modern manufacturing processes have made watches more reliable and less prone to defects. For consumers, an extended warranty offers peace of mind in case of manufacturing defects.
However, for seasoned collectors, the length of the warranty is not a major deciding factor as they are more focused on the condition and aesthetic appeal of the watch.
