Matt Arend Time Pieces of sh*t.

Bought a watch from Matt Arend in May last year . Within 2 to 3 weeks it stopped working and was replaced. In February this year the 2nd watch stopped working and I was informed that the Jhb branch of Matt Arend closed down. I contacted Matt Arend in Cape Town and after several messages I wad forced to pay for the courier costs to Cape Town and back. At first the person I spoke to couldn't find any record of my watch being booked in for repairs. I eventually got a watch back from them with a strap that was replaced and losing atleast 15 minutes every 2 hours. I sent them a message straight away but only got a reply 3 days later. This time around they offerd to pay the courier costs and off to Cape Town with my watch, again. After seversl messages and tussles I was informed that any threats made in the form of exposi g Matt Arend products and bad service, would be regretfull to me. I asked for a refund and the owner Matthias himself told me that if the watch was not 100% after the 2nd repair, he would grant me a refund. Needless to say, got my watch back again after 2 weeks and it's still not working 100% . This something else is not working as it should. Now I'm being told that they won't give me a refund as my watch is now out of it's warranty period. I must pay an extra amount of money then they'll consider swapping my watch for another model. I was also informed that will wait for the Consumer Commission consultant to contact them before they will do anything.

Reviewer Update
After a fair bit of going to and throw, and discussions Matt Arend and myself came to an agreement. They replaced my watch with a battery model and I'm as happy as a *** in sh*t. So for what it's worth, they do have satisfying customer service and my new watch is awesome. They have even paid the courier fees to deliver my watch at my doorstep. Thank you Matt Arend for resolving this painfull experience with excellent results. 5 stars for Matt Arend.
