Buyer beware.

Ordered a Mystery watch from an offer I got. Watch was touted as being "Worth at least $199". The one I got is kinda plain, about what I'd expect for the $99 I paid. But I checked the website and it currently sell for $134! I contacted them and they said "Well actually you are lucky. It usually sells for $249". How insulting! If I can buy it now for 134 then it is worth exactly 134. Sneaky way they have of unlading their poor sellers I guess.

Was told my watch would ship 7 days…

Was told my watch would ship 7 days after purchase. 10 days later the order hasn’t even been fulfilled. Have reached out to the company multiple times over the course of three days and have received zero response from the company. If I go to place an order for the exact watch today, the website claims it would ship in four days. This company is a joke. Their customer service is nonexistent.

I have purchased two watches for my husband from this company so far. The last was a limited edition orange piece, I also purchased the warranty along with the piece. Long story short, I sent an email to customer support and not even two minutes after I sent it did I receive a reply with instructions on how to receive a replacement to a piece that had broken. I didn’t have to do anything but confirm my address. I received the replacement within two days. Top notch service and products, will definitely purchase from this company again!

FINALLY

Got the watch. (FINALLY). The watches are great. I feel the only reason I received it was because my card company withheld payment. And I got the BBB involved.

I bought the watch as a wedding gift…

I bought the watch as a wedding gift (11/29/24) for my husband. Three days after I gave it to him the wood fell off a link in the band. I immediately contacted Original Grain. They offered to send a new link to me. I verified that if it was being sent USPS that it would need to go to a different address. Needles to say they sent it incorrectly, and the part was sent back. I contacted them again and verified the address. Again, the part was sent incorrectly, a total of 3 times. Finally in February a part was sent, but it was the incorrect part. I once again contacted them. This time I was told the the links were currently out of stock. Finally, 2 days ago I was sent an email that the part was back in stock and the price for said links. I contacted them again and said that they were sending me a link for free since it had only been 3 days that my husband wore the watch. The reply I receive back from Genesis was the 2 additional links were included in the box with the watch and that any additional link came at a price. I guess if you use the 2 links when you get the watch so that it fits your wrist is not taken into consideration. Sadly, I would not recommend this watch. The costumer service I have received is beyond unacceptable. So beware.

Gorgeous watch!

I bought the "Whiskey Black Rugged Automatic 44mm" watch for my husband late last year for his birthday, it is incredibly gorgeous and unique! It has worked well and still looks fantastic after almost 5 months. You do have to wear it daily for it to keep time which is not an issue for him. So far we are very happy with our purchase!

Customer service is excellent!!

Customer service is excellent!!
I ordered the caseback & engraving option. Customer service sent an email asking for info but it got lost in my junk mail. They sent a 2nd email!
And I was able to order the engraved caseback separately since my watch order was already in process. They saved the day- thank you OG.

Did Not Honor Discount in Marketing Texts

I was in the hunt for the Grand Ole Opry watch. I signed up for SMS and received a text for $100 off - no stated restrictions. After clicking the text link I noticed the $100 off was not displaying. I contacted Customer Service and got the run around, and they would not honor the discount. Maybe they just saved me from a disappointing purchase experience.

Beyond disgusted the stress after all this waiting I got contacted by border force due to my near $3000 purchase asking me for so much documentation. It's so stressful and felt alone because I'm in Australia and they are USA. I have paid priority shipping as well . I told them and said they checked with warehouse and sorted it out . No they haven't. DO NOT BIY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A DISGRACE AND SPREAD IT ALL OVER THE WORLD VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND PEOPLE YOU KNOW. Go somewhere else. DO NOT BUY HERE PLEASE DO NOT BIUY HERE

Watch has not told the time since I received it a week ago, the hands and inner workings do not move. I would like someone to contact me about how to resolve this.

Hey Justin, I just did some research into your order. It appears you ordered one of our Automatic watches. This watch is powered by movement & motion! In order to get the watch to activated, look through the skeleton caseback & the watch Rotar will begin to charge the watch as that rotar begins to wind..You will need to move the watch then the second hand inside the subdial will begin to track which indicates that its working.

The watch keeps power for 72 Hrs from the time you put the watch down. We also sell some watch cases that would keep the watch in motion!

Please feel free to email me directly & we can coordinate a call if needed. Andrew@originalgrain.com

Overall

Overall, a handsome watch. However, it is tiny! Made for 7-8” wrist with two additional links which is a joke.

Hey Marlye, thanks for providing a review, we have extra links that we can send. Over the last 13 years we’ve found a semi universal size of wrist but we provide 2 extra links as a buffer. If more links are needed that’s not a problem. Shoot me an email and I will get you taken care of .
Thanks!

Do not order from this company!

Do not order from this company!! Placed an order on December 16 and STILL HAVENT RECEIVED as of January 29. After reaching out to customer support and founder email multiple times they told me the watch I bought was actually sold out. When provided a new link to choose a replacement they were still advertising the supposedly out of stock watch. Then days later I get an email saying it’s shipping with no acknowledgment of our past correspondence. Well today is January 29th, 19 days after it supposedly shipped and I still don’t have this watch. Save yourself the hassle and headache and just don’t order from here.

Hey Maggie, Im glad I was able to look into this order & hope some clarity is provided. If not I'd be happy to talk further. Our watches are batch crafted & we do not mass produce, so at times there will be an estimated ships date that is shown on the product pages when checking out. I just checked your tracking and it appears the order is Out for Delivery today!! Good news & Im happy this finally arrived. I would be happy to make things right with you so please feel free to reach out to me directly if there is anything else we can do .
Email: Andrew@originalgrain.com

Let me know if there is anything we can do for you!

Awesome Gift for my Team!

Original Grain and Andrew Beltran are top notch and truly care. They helped make an idea for a custom gift order for my team a reality.

I really appreciate them going above and beyond and ultimately providing a great experience.

I will order again in the future!
