Watch Harbor is an amazing project and I’m living proof that it’s 100% real. The team truly delivers and always does their best.
I was one of the members who received a luxury piece: a Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601.
I’ve already received other watches too, and the best part of the mystery box is the excitement, you never know exactly what you’re going to get, but you will receive something. Honestly, I’d be happy with any piece because I know how much effort the team puts into every drop.
The community is strong, supportive, and fun to be part of. Cameron is always available and reachable. I’m already looking forward to the next drops!
Cheers from Spain!

I’ve participated in two "Mystery Drops" from Watch Harbor. Overall, I think it’s a fantastic concept backed by great branding, helpful explanatory videos, and a very user-friendly website. However, there is definitely an element of luck involved.
My Experience:
December Drop (£109 "Film & TV" Special Edition): I received an AVIA Q & V quartz. Unfortunately, the market value was only around £20, so I lost out on value here. Additionally, the link to the "Film & TV" theme wasn't clear—I’d love some clarification on how this specific piece fit the category.
January Drop (£59 Standard Edition): I received an Ingersoll quartz. This was another "affordable" tier result rather than a luxury win.
Pros:
Great Branding: The marketing and website are professional and engaging.
Fun Concept: It adds an element of excitement to watch collecting.
Room for Improvement:
Transparency: Currently, only one watch per brand is shown beforehand. It would be much fairer and more transparent to show all possible watches in the pool. Since buyers rely heavily on the seller's goodwill, knowing the full range of options would build more trust.
EU Buyers: Be aware of significant customs and import duties if you are ordering from the EU.
Summary: It’s a fun gamble for "affordable" watches, though I’ve been unlucky twice now. I’m hoping for better luck in the February drop!

Extremely disappointed with the watch I received.
I understand from some of Watch Harbor’s replies to other negative reviews that receiving a lower-end brand is “possible.” However, I specifically checked the video for my drop, and this was not mentioned once. Based on how the business markets itself, the watch I received was far below what a reasonable customer would expect.
The watch appears to be a new, fashion-style quartz watch from a defunct or unknown brand, using a very cheap Chinese movement. This is the type of watch that can be bought on eBay for around £20, and I do not consider that fair value for a paid “mystery watch” service positioned as a serious watch business with a twist.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that the issue is not the price alone, but the lack of thought and story behind the product. I would have been far happier receiving:
• a £20 vintage watch with character and history, or
• a slightly more expensive piece from a now-defunct but reputable brand with genuine build quality.
That would align far better with the way Watch Harbor presents itself.
I’ve also seen responses suggesting that “only people who get bad watches complain.” Of course that’s the case—because when the lower-end outcome is this low in quality and value, it highlights a real imbalance in the offering. The downside risk for the customer is simply too high.
Mystery should be part of the fun, not an excuse for offloading watches that don’t meet a basic quality threshold. It would be entirely possible to curate mystery drops using entry-level but respected brands (Tissot, Seiko, etc.) or well-chosen vintage pieces and still make a profit—while ensuring customers feel they’ve received something considered and worthwhile.
As it stands, the watch I received does not match the brand’s marketing, positioning, or the expectations they set.

I received my watch today from the January drop and overall I’m really happy with it. The watch I received was in immaculate condition for its age, which really impressed me. It’s not the type of watch I would usually wear as it’s a little too dressy for my personal style, but that’s the nature of a mystery draw and part of the fun. The concept of this business is great, especially for anyone who enjoys the excitement of not knowing what they’ll receive, the quality clearly shows that care goes into selecting the watches. I will definitely be trying my luck in another drop!

Svar från Watch Harbor
So I’ve now done two mystery drops from watch harbor and can definitely say I’ve not been disappointed. It’s not guaranteed you’ll get a luxury piece but on my first drop I pulled a two tone Tag Heuer professional 2000 with this being a vintage piece it wasn’t perfect but that’s what you should expect with a vintage watch……however this month I pulled an incredible Cartier tank vermeil the condition is amazing and in full working order!
10/10 would recommend watch harbor to any true watch enthusiast who want the chance of pulling a vintage piece!

Svar från Watch Harbor
I have entered the mystery watch draw a few times now over the last six months. I often miss out because the sell so quickly, but there is now the option to preorder which helps manage the popularity a bit.
I really enjoy the excitement of being involved and not knowing what I’m going to get. I’ve been both lucky and unlucky in my efforts but have always received something that I’d wear and can enjoy. Two the watches were not performing as I’d hoped they would (setting date was tricky), I reached out to Watch Harbour and Cameron got in touch pretty quickly offering to have them assessed and serviced for me. I sent them back and was ultimately offered a full refund, which I used for a new entry in the Jan draw. I bagged my best one so far, so am very happy.
Fun concept, great service and very trustworthy.
They deffo had some teething issues with delivery speed and packaging quality, but they are just getting better and better, which is all you want from a business!
Good luck folks

Svar från Watch Harbor
I pre-ordered a special order in Dec for January. £109, ending around £120 with postage. Notification to say the watch has been posted the day of the Jan drop. I have just received the watch.
I totally understand it is a game of luck and thought it would be fun to try. A chance to win one of 5 expensive watches or a quirky vintage watch if luck isn’t on my side.
I have opened the watch to find it’s a new line of ‘OMAX’ that seiko have released. Not remotely ‘vintage’ just the name on the watch being classed as such. I’ve also come to find they are £24 to buy on eBay, with multiple listings, brand new, box and papers. If trust pilot would let me attach images I would prove the multiple listings, but an example is EBAY listing 154921381995.
I would have expected the watch to be at least close to half of the value as to what I have paid, especially being ’special edition’. It feels the watch would have been better suited in their ‘premium edition’ category.
I have emailed watch harbor expressing this and whilst expressing they have taken my comments on board, I do feel little ‘scammed’. They re-iterated it is just ‘nature of the drops’.
I don’t think I would bother again especially not at £109 a go to receive something that is ultimately a new cheap Chinese made watch destined for the bin.
I am leaving this review to give people an insight into what they may receive if they aren’t lucky enough to land one of the good watches.
EDIT:
As from there reply, they keep referencing the YouTube videos that show the brands in the drop in which OMAX is shown. However this does seem to be an actual vintage OMAX and not the modern made watch I received which wasn’t in the video. You can see this for yourself by looking at that the eBay listing of the exact watch where they probably got it from.
I totally understand there is ‘affordable options’. However £24 worth of goods when paying £109 is a pretty big margin. If it was closer to £40 worth of a watch I think it would be a fair gamble.
It is a really good concept, but does need work to make it fair and reasonable.
Second Edit:
They are now flagging my review as ‘defamatory’ to try and hide it. Says a lot about the ‘company’. I will re-iterate I understand it is a game of luck and it is a good concept. I just believe they’re could be a bit better value for money for those who aren’t as fortunate to receive one of the better watches.

Svar från Watch Harbor
I really enjoy the concept behind WatchHarbor. I’ve been playing for a couple of months now, and it’s a fun and engaging way to expand a watch collection.
The mystery box format is exactly that — a mystery. You can receive anything from more affordable vintage pieces to higher-end watches, and that unpredictability is part of the experience. Sometimes I’ve received watches I genuinely like and enjoy wearing, and other times pieces that aren’t really my personal style — but that’s the nature of a mystery box.
I think it’s important to understand what you’re signing up for. These are vintage watches, not brand-new items, and you’re essentially playing a game based on chance. You won’t love every single piece, and that’s okay.
Overall, I see it as an entertaining way to discover watches I might not have chosen myself, and when you approach it with the right expectations, it’s an enjoyable experience.

I paid for a “premium “vintage mystery drop watch that in November to receive my watch in December finally I get it and it’s a shitty Accurist watch that’s for the late 90’s valued at $40 not even a Vintage watch the back piece of the watch was almost off the whole watch is all scratched up !

This company has outstanding customer service, I’ve done two drops getting a Rolex in the second. Could not recommend enough

Ik had een pre order besteld bij watch harbor
Ik las daarna de reviews en begon te twijfelen.
Ik heb eerlijk mijn gedachten gedeeld met watch harbor.
kreeg te horen dat ik gewoon mijn order mocht cancelen en mijn geld retour kreeg.
Heb ik gedaan en kreeg een mail met de bevestiging order gecanceld geld nog niet gestort.
Enkele dagen later was het geld teruggestort bij klarna
Hierbij is toch mijn twijfel recht getrokken ondanks andere reviews.

I've participated in the october drop, and luckily I've got a 1967 breitling top time ref 2009- great watch. It's in very good condition taking it's age into account. It's got really nice patina on the dial.
My experience was very good, i would recommend 100% and will surely buy again

My initial experience with Watch Harbor was not a good one. I contacted Cameron, who answered within 24 hours, listened to my issue, promised to investigate, and issued a full refund.
Encouraged by his positive response, i entered another contest.
My second watch arrived today. I was a bit anxious opening the package, as i would be with any lottery. Upon doing so, i was extremely happy to see a 2000 Omega Speedmaster Date, Ref 175.0083, Cal 1152, with original band. The watch is in very good shape, and is currently running happily.
The nature of Cameron's company is such that, as with any lottery-type operation, there are bound to be varying outcomes. The numbers and levels of quality of watches are explained on his site. Every entry receives a watch. This time, i received a Luxury watch. I am very happy, of course. If i had received a non-luxury prize, i would have been happy. I buy a ticket, and get a prize. This time, i won the luxury watch.
This has been my experience with Cameron, at Watch Harbor. There are a lot of negative comments online about the company. My initial experience was not good. Reaching out calmly had me a response in under 24 hours, an apology, an explanation and promise to investigate why this happened, and a full refund. What more can one ask in this situation?
I suggest that those who are not happy with their experience contact Cameron and calmly explain their issue. I did so and received quick, polite action. Complaining into the void, usually with no details, serves no purpose and will result in no remedy.

This was my first time trying the November Mystery Watch Drop, and I really enjoyed the concept. Every month, 200 watches are available: 180 affordable models and 20 luxury pieces. You pay £59 for a blind pick, hoping to land one of the high-end watches.
I didn’t get a luxury watch this time, but I received a very elegant Accurist with a clean dial and a beautiful Milanese mesh bracelet. It’s not worth the £129 you can find it for second-hand, but that’s the game – you pay £59 for the experience and for the chance (even a small one) to score a Rolex or an Omega.
Overall, it was a fun experience, the concept is great, and I’ll definitely try my luck again for the December drop!
Thanks to The Watch Harbor for bringing some excitement to watch collecting.

Svar från Watch Harbor
This company is such a blessing in the sense I never thought I would even come close to getting a luxury watch. I have ordered twice and each piece has been a credit to my collection.

Svar från Watch Harbor
Drops are great! Everyone has a chance on getting a luxury watch and/or receive a watch with lower value but at the end of the day, you're getting one! Imagine you paying almost same amount of money for raffles and here you still get something. It's a win win!
Man behind this is very responsive too. Highly recommended and would join again next drop!

Svar från Watch Harbor
I couldn’t recommend watch harbor enough, I purchased a £59 mystery watch in the November drop and I received my order today to find out I received a 1950 Rolex Oyster Speedking!! I still can’t believe it. Such a brilliant business.
